Once again he prescribed percocet, which I have taken for many years now so that it is not very effective. I think that the government cracking down on these doctors that run pill mills are making legitimate doctors afraid to prescribe pain relieving medications that could potentially help. I am just so frustrated I don't know what to do. Meanwhile back at the castle I wait for the slow wheels of WC to approve treatment. Thanks for being there, Lisa
