I hope you've been able to get your Dad's pain under control. I'm having some issues with pain and came across this thread. We're having a hard time getting a prescription filled because they are out.

One tip; Always count your pills in front of the pharmacist at the counter before you leave, we had some taken once.

It's a shame that people abuse these drugs. It shouldn't be so difficult for those who really need them can get them with out so much trouble.

I am finding some easy movement and light lymph massage is helping too.
