Alright I've been going to a family doctor since I was a young'n and still just go there. Well I had a cold and was coughing bad and screwed up my rib cage. The nurse said what is the pain 1-10 and I said 8. I got X-rays and no broken bones but the doc concluded I have sprained joints from my ribs to my chest. He prescribed me to tramadol 50 mg with one refill. A bottle of Promethazine codein for the cough, and naproxen for pain. All are good but the naproxen is an anti inflammatory for pain....what I'm getting at is that it's fairly easy to get some decent drugs from exaggerating or staight up lying.
hate to break it to you but tramadol sucks =/. i'd say it isn't helping until you get upped to vicodin. the prometh/codeine is a nice pickup tho.. props
Ok, so you got one good thing, props on that- but the other stuff it seems like he either knows you're faking or you just need to go back and say you need something stronger.
