I have been taking pain meds for a while now for my discs in my neck. Are doctors allowed to just stop writing rx? or are hey obligated to ween you off? I had an injection, it didnt work and the dr said he doesnt feel he can control my pain and thinks I need to go to pain managment. Does that mean he is not going to refil my next script? and is he allowed to do that with all the bad side effects that can happen by stopping abruptly. thanks
