Maybe you should consider seeing a new doctor. My rheumatologist makes it a point not to prescribe pain medication. This one may be different. If you see a new doctor, maybe you can explain that to him. I take muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatories, and now cymbalta. I refuse to take Lyrica for personal reasons (i'd never talk against a med that I don't take, just b/c I dont want others not to take it if it may work for them). I asked my doctor to prescribe me with percoset - just because the pain sometimes (especially when it rains) is so unbearable I can't sleep - and the perc will make it bearable. I was honest and told him that I really get that bad only when it rains. He gave me half a month's worth. So they're there when I need them. All this to say, maybe you can reason with the doctor and say that you need it for when it gets really bad - and maybe he can give you a certain number of pills instead of prescribing a daily dosage. If the doc isn't understanding you, you need to see another doctor. There's no point in paying someone to help you who isn't.
