If I’m understanding this right, isn’t that simply a cut-off of one week on the initial prescription?

Extending it will probably cost a doctor’s visit fee. Did they account for that?

If they’re going to limit the script, they should make provision for a freebee as a follow up script.

Other than that, I wouldn’t object. Pain meds are very important.

Back in the 90s and early 2000s, they were looking for ways to provide better pain relief in hospital settings.

I had to have morphine at one point, and one of the doctors suggested I liked it too much. What a dumb ass. I had extremely intense pain from blood clotting from my lungs down to my feet.

It was so acute, my senses seemed to flow off the bed, under the door and out into the hall.

It seriously hurt when someone made noise outside my room, it was so bad.

So some of these jokers don’t have a clue.

Some of the worst pain I ever experienced was having my left leg packed in an ice bath to clot the bleeding which had made my thigh swell to three times it's normal size. My calf and foot too. Then after the surgery to remove the hematomas and screw plate pin everything back together(and over 600 sutchers inside in the muscles), they compression immobilize the leg to prevent the swelling from blowing it all back open.

I never imagined such pain. Intravenous Dilantin for two weeks every two hours was a close second. I think I would have prefered the brain swelling.
