my sister moved in with me due to complete debilitating disease.I have taken her to the Emergency room a few times and an Urgent Care Facility for treatment of her Rheumatoid Arthritis.The Urgent care Facility said they would request her Medical R and after aprx a month still have not.They refused to prescribe her pain meds and only offered to prescribe ansiad ‘s which she is allergic to.They refused to acknowledge this and told her that Medical records take time to obtain and told her they will refer her to a Pain Management Clinic,but not a Rhuematologist.The Dr went so far as to ask her “who told you you have Rheumatoid Arthritis”
is there a way to report this to a Medical Board ?She has copies of Med Records from another hosptial where she had been treated.We are too broke to send her back to the other state and she is in such pain that anther state had prescribed her Morphine .She seeks Vicoden as is allergic to other meds with auto immune disease and Shogrins,low potassium
i dont know how to get her help

Been having really bad pain due to my Rheumatoid Arthritis in my knees and ankles and the doctor won’t do anything except tell me to take some Tylenol.

I went to a different doctor and he prescribed me Darvocet, which again does nothing more than Tylenol/Aspirin/Advil. He even raised the dosage and i can’t feel a difference or pain relief.

I’m 17 and understand that teens abuse drugs, but i can’t even have a serious conversation with these college-educated doctors without them assuming something that i’m not aiming for. (Abusing it)
