Hello,

I have a medullary sponge kidney making me very susceptible to kidney stones :(. I get maybe 3 a month on average. The first few times I got them I had to go to the ER to get dripped as the pain was absolutely horrific. But now I have learned to deal with the pain to the extend that I can just take some painkillers and trek it out. Inconveniently when this happens I have to ask my father to write me a Rx which he is more than willing to do but it's just annoying to have to ask him each time, not to mention awkward. I'd rather have my own Rx to have for when I need it.

My question is would it be appropriate to ask my doc straight up for a Rx? I have loads of evidence of my condition. He's a real old school doc; once my father called and got him to write me a D-amphetamine Rx and it was ready for me before I could blink. I just wouldn't know what to say to him. My father won't speak on my behalf either as I think he secretly doesn't want me to be a legal pain patient.

I like to do opiates, they're my drug of choice hands down but i'm very good at monitoring myself and I have very strict rules on how I use them recreationally.

Thank you for your help :)
 
If you don't ask, the doctor won't know that you want any. Especially if you have evidence that supports your claims.. one look at it (if he's that prompt), the old man should write you something fair. If he says "Okay, maybe some Vicodin 5mg?" you can always say that you've had medications previously that were similar and no longer work so well for you. Just ask for something a little stronger, maybe a time-released version of something if you're truly looking for pain management. I have done this is in offices and hospitals before, once for pain meds and a few times for various benzo's (mostly Klonopins). So in short, yes it is appropriate! :)
 
Many people here struggle with chronic pain and this issue has come up countless times before, so I'm going to get straight to the point - if you have legitimate chronic pain that warrants treatment you need to give up the idea of using opioids recreationally. Period.

Tolerance to opioids resulting from recreational doses will make it difficult to achieve analgesia, requiring more and more of the medication when you truly need it. This is an all to common path down what often becomes a life-long battle with opioids. I don't know if you'll take my advice or not, for your own sake I truly hope that you will. Focus on controlling your pain (and this often means reducing, not totally eliminating it) with the LEAST amount of medication possible.

At any rate, we don't allow threads asking how to approach doctors for medication here, so I'm going to go ahead and close this.
