Unfortunately, there isn't much to be done. Due to the strict FDA crack down on doctors over-prescribing narcotics and trying to prevent their abuse, doctors usually will not refill any narcotic medications until they are actually due for a refill.
If your pain gets too bad, you can try going to the emergency room and explaining what happened and why you are in so much pain, they may help, or they may not, it really depends on the doctor in charge there.
I learned a valuable lesson recently, when I had to go off my medications, which I had been taking for several years in a row.
MAKE SURE IT IS REALLY HELPING YOUR PAIN, BEFORE YOU STICK WITH TAKING NARCOTICS!
We moved and I have not been able to find a doctor here, yet, and we can't keep driving several hours each month for me to keep seeing our old doc.
I had a few bad days, since my body was so used to having the medications, but once I was over that and they were all out of my system, I realized that they hadn't been doing anything for my pain, anyway.
And just for future reference, typing in all capital letters online is the equivelent of shouting and by most internet users, is considered very rude. It also makes your posts very hard to read.
yes you lost them, look in your gullet, i used that 1 in 06 twice in 07, three times in 08, an one time already this year, if you want smypathy you find it in websters between s-it an syhpillis
