I had a motorcycle accident in which I suffered a double compound fracture of my tibia, and have had an external fixator(?) attached to my bone for alignment and I am 60 years old and have been told i will suffer much pain for the rest of my life. However my primary orthopedic doctor will NOT prescribe any pain meds for me. If he felt the pain i do (constant)he might feel differently. How can i get my doctor to prescribe something(anything) for pain? I have NEVER abused drugs. I live in WV. One question- do any others here at webmd ever had a similar problem? How did you resolve it?- thanks all!- WillyobikerView Thread
