These strong pain meds are easily sold and abused. A lot of pharmacys will not even fill a prescription for oxycodone.

Fibro is a disease that is very hard to dx and can be faked. So doctors have been hoodwinked so to speak in the past so now they are being held accountable for prescriptions they give out. If they are going to be accountable then so is the patients hence the drug tests.

I have been in the doctors office where I have overheard conversations where someone is trying to get more pain meds. They claimed this pain med didn't work so can they prescribe something else and the nurse said bring in the other prescription and we will give you something else and that person said she could not because since they did not work she got rid of them.

Everyone needs to be held accountable and check and balance systems need to be in place
