How to Convince Doctors to Give Pain Medication to Young People?

When you are young they think you need to go thru years of treatments first to be poked, prodded and jabbed for years that’s were they cause your anxiety and medical trauma. Then as you age into 50’s is when you’ve made it to the level of we can’t help you with all of our great treatments. But they still give you crap about prescribing to you. Well I’ve walked in both these shoes when I was younger and now over 50 and I completely support the idea of the younger people to have this as an option. Because pain is painful no matter what age. And everyone deals with pain differently. Unfortunately none of the doctors we deal with have had our issues so there’s no REAL understanding behind these idealisms that they have. If they have ever felt the pain we live with daily they’d most definitely change there whole view on pain medication I guarantee it!

Definitely find a new doctor. I usually take Ibuprofen or Naproxen and call it good but sometimes even that doesn't work. I've been wanting to ask for something stronger that's still anti-inflammatory but I know he would refuse based on what he's done in the past. I'm currently looking for a new doctor.

Idk about Drs but naproxen sodium, CBD salve, and weed help me the most.

I'm on gaberpentine and co-codamol as needed. Previously tried amitriptaline, paracetamol and cant take ibuprofen. Definitely try paracetamol and ibuprofen together (alternate every 2 hours for at least 1 week as they build up in your system). And then find someone who is willing to help, preferably an eds specialist. Tbh I would take the councilling if you can because it might be helpful and there is no harm, this doesn't mean you symptoms are all in your head, it means chronic illness sucks and often is difficulty to cope with

Find a new doctor. You shouldn't have to fight to be believed
