You need to see: a Spine Specialist and have a complete evaluation since I doubt strongly any Physician would simple supply a "wanted" medication for CHRONIC back/pelvic pain! My Opinion only Hope this helps Dr Z

1st need evaluation: I advise you to go to a doctor for evaluation and treatment. In my opinion chronic back pain is best managed with a multidisciplinary approach. Medical therapy, physical therapy, maybe interventional therapy depending on your condition. Severe pelvic pain maybe an infection. Health Tap doctors are not allowed to prescribe controlled substances i.e. "pain pill".
