They tell you they can prescribe up to and including hydrocodone. This is a bait and switch. I've been taking oxycodone for years but was willing to come down to see if it helped (I hate pills). They prescribed lidocaine cream. Now when I have a flare up, I can't walk. I called and they told me they can't prescribe ANY narcotics. They wanted to give me a vitamin and lidocaine cream. A total waste of time.
