Cathy - I suspect your Internist nixed the idea more out of his/her concern with the DEA. This is exactly why so much pain goes undertreated! I will never understand how a physician can allow his/her patient to suffer while s/he rides home in his/her fine car to his/her million $$$ home. And they all believe in "first, do no harm". Give me a break.
Prescribe a medication properly, keep detailed records, and there is very little to fear from the DEA. And it might help if they got a little education on addiction. The real problem is - they don't want to be bothered.
