Have run out of pain pills. Cannot afford to see the doctor again to renew my prescription.

Call your doctor and explain the situation. Often they'll call in a rx for you without an exam.

If she/he won't, go to a free clinic. There's one in most medium-sized cities.

Last appointment he told me he'd have to see me again if I wanted the prescription extended, but I might give it a try anyways.

I have health insurance, but an insanely high deductible. I can't afford the cost of an appointment. Perhaps if I don't tell the free clinic I have health insurance, they'll treat me?

Thank you for the suggestion. I wouldn't have thought of the free clinic option.
