Dr. Richard Ramos answered

Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Pain meds: Any doctor with a dea license can prescribe opioid pain medications. The real question is whether or not you need them. I would visit a physician for a full physical examination and look for other ways to treat your pain other than just using opioid, pain medications.
