Ok, I feel like I'm about to lose it here. Ran into a little, or rather a fairly large problem with my doctoring. I go through my doctor back home for my pain management, which consists of her mailing my prescription for pain killers once a month. Friday, I found out that as of the 31st of this month, she is no longer going to be in ND. This is where my problem begins and I don't know what to do about it. I checked out a couple of the doctors in Bismarck that deal in pain management and one isn't taking any new patients and the other I have been to before and she still is telling me that she doesn't give oxycontin to patients my age. Does this just sound like a load of crap to me? Isn't there some sort of law or patient right to protect against age discrimination? I can't solve this one on my own. If anyone has ever dealt with a situation like this one and has any advice on what I do in this matter. I am just frustrated right now. I don't like it when things in my life change suddenly like this. Why does my doctor have to move? DAMN!! 
You Doctor can give you Meds of anykind at your age.It isn't like you are a teen.The only way the Doc won't give them to you is if they feel you are a drugy or selling them.Alot of Docs here in ND are being more careful what they give out.You can go to the Board of Medicne to complain.If I remember the address I will send it,but I think it is in the phonebook.
