I'm in the waiting room just wondering is there a better way to approach this. Beside my back hurts can you prescribe me some thing for it?
 
UK presumably?

You're unlikely to get much at all, do you have a history of back problems? It's much easier if you've got a history to lean on. Personally I think it's as much about the way you say what you say as the choice of words. You need to make them seem like you know what you're talking about, but because you've been prescribed before not because you're a drug seeker.

One thing that I've found useful is that if you're prescribed co-codamol, codeine ir or tramadol or something (which is the best you can hope for really) I've always been able to get it upgraded to DHC by just asking for it and saying codeine makes me sick. Wait until the script or meds is in your hand and then if you haven't discussed the specifics of what you were going to be given you can just glance at it and ask 'oh any chance I could have DHC instead these ones made me feel sick last time and DHC worked just as well but didn't make me sick'.
 
California, USA! USA! But really. I just found that when I got there my story went out the window. But I asked for sleeping meds and got 4 xanex plus turns out I had a bladder infection which was causing my back to hurt. I mean I've been thinking of jumping off a building I've been in so much pain and I blamed the car accident I was on a year ago. Thank God I went back to the hospital. But after the doctor said he can't give me pain pills I just tried the next thing I could think of not far off from the truth that I'm having trouble sleeping and wham bam thank you man. Just a update for everyone. So I'm happy as I can be.
 
you will get absolutely nothing as far as pain pills go unless you have a traumatic injury that is veriafiable by MRI and whatnot. Even then you may not get any if you are lucky you will get 7 Norco 5's....we need to save all the rich white kids overdosing on fentanyl, sorry.

If you are in severe pain and require medication you contact a drug dealer not a doctor.
 
You can always ask for NSAIDs though. You'd be suprised how effective a couple Advil can be for pain that would otherwise go untreated.
 
lol no comment

this isn't fitting for health & recovery

if you are legitimately in pain describe the pain #, the amount of pain, and you'll get something. I can't say it'll be worthwhile SORRY the national socialists won a few years back
