How to create a history of pain to get opiates prescribed eventually?

You were in the hospital TWO YEARS AGO, for an accident that you were in the hospital for, for two days. Now all of a sudden you need pain killers? Try telling that story to any doctor. You’ll get laughed out of the office. If this was an issue, you would have been at this two years ago when the incident occurred.

I had a Spinal Fusion a year ago. Prior to that, I had all of the imagining and scans, injections and so forth before I was put on heavy pain killers. Now one year after since my surgery, I’m still going to pain management. I didn’t wait a year, and then decide to go back. You’re part of the reason why chronic pain patients are losing access to prescription pain killers to be able to live their lives. Re-evaluate your life. You’re 18 years old, and trying to get on opioids this young, you’re setting yourself up for something very dangerous. Tread lightly.
