Such a pain, excuse the pun, we have to out up with to help us with the pain we live with. My PCP Neuro have a relationship where my PCP writes all my scripts or refills. Therefor one doctor is in control. I remember the day I went for a refill of my opioid painkiller and the nurse said she needed a urine sample. I was more than a bit shocked.
Well as luck would have I could not provide the sample. When my PCP saw it was me waiting he told the nurse I was the last person she needed to worry about. My PCP and I have a very good relationship. But every month I go expecting to give that urine sample.
Yes it is an inconvenience, yes it does get costly but it's the price we pay for relief. I have climbed the mountain to morphine and there are days that it barely takes the edge off the pain yet I still take them as prescribed. But if there is a day when I have to take an extra pill it is allowed. My doctor knows I am not abusing nor misusing nor will I ever.
