Neurologist will not prescribe pain meds

I called my neurologist today, because after brushing my teeth , I was in extreme pain, so I call the neurologist in order to have them prescribe lidocaine patches and mouthwash. The neurologist said they do not prescribe pain medicine and go see my primary doctor. Is that a common practice that neurologist don’t prescribe pain medicine. I am at an Urgent Care facility in order to get some relief. Help, I am lost what do I do.

OMG



I’ve never heard of this! That is malpractice!



Lidocaine is NUMBING, not pain meds!



Ohhhhh I hope you got help! Narcotics barely work for us…



Get a new neuro and dump that ass!



Let us know if you got help!

From what I see, lidocaine seems to help at least 70% of us.

Yep, urgent care doctor couldn’t believe that my neuro wouldn’t prescribe lidocaine. I got oral lidocaine from urgent care. Tomorrow I’ll be looking for a new neuro.

Ohhh, did it help ?
