First of all....I'm SO sorry that you've been in so much pain!  As far as getting future pain meds. Well, I'm not sure. I have heard of people getting "red flagged" by their doctors and/or pharmacist. Therefore, it's noted across the board that you "might" be seeking drugs. For awhile- I was having to go to my rheumy every couple of weeks and they were changing my meds. I'm sure they probably thought I was a drug seeker. And one time, I went in with all my bottles of pills and said, "What do I do with all these that I've not taken and aren't working?" They told me to flush them. I was hoping that they would document that I was there with them all and asked that question. But, it never came up in my medical notes. So who knows what they think of me. Definitely change doctors. Make sure that you "explain" to whomever you end up with about what has happened. You certainly wouldn't have gone to 'Urgent Care' if you didn't feel you needed to. And most understanding doctors know that. Hang in there! And gentle hugs to you for some better days.
