It's just like being on parole...and for what??...because I am in pain?
Did it ever occur to you that for these pain management doctors to try to give their patients enough pills to make them comfortable without having their licenses and their freedom yacked away from them by local police, feds, DEA, regulatory boards, etc that they have to do this. Also thank people who take advantage of these doctors either by abusing the pills or by selling them? Pain management doctors are the good guys as they are following a cardinal rule of pain control, believe the patient unless they prove to you otherwise. It's law enforcement you should be upset with.

You think these doctors really get their rocks off by making you jump through hoops? Yeah, that's why they have gone to school for half their lives.

Curious, what is your doctor's specialty, family practice, surgery, anesthesiology, etc?
