Rose, I sympathize with the pain med situation. I have not had any Percocet for my back pain since May. The RF ablation is working so I have almost no back pain. I did sign a pain contract with the pain clinic. I saw my PCP last month and told him I was pretty sure I was passing a kidney stone(my fourth). I asked for ten percocet. I advised him of my contract with the pain clinic and asked him to call. He said it wouldn't be a problem and I should just advise them. I called the pain clinic b4 I got the scrip filled, they said they would make a note and not to worry about it. If I had a legitimate need(darn tootin), it was not a problem. The next time I saw my PCP, his nurse(also his So) read me the riot act: accusing me of jeopardizing their relationship with the pain clinic. I explained that I advised the doc b4 he prescribed the med and I advised the pain clinic b4 I even filled the scrip, but she would not be appeased. She is not my favorite person, if I didn't like her husband so much, I would seek another PCP. All the best. Ike
