This is a public information site where volunteer docs answer health questions that come in from around the world. It does not offer scripts/notes/make referrals or do other forms of direct patient care. Contact your regular doc for such requests. Docs who prescribe pain meds to patients they don't have an established relationship/record with can lose their license.

Dr. Ferguson's response summarizes appropriate policies for our public education site. Even with a virtual consult, there are many controlled substances that would never be prescribed on HealthTap. Find a local pain specialist where you live.
