Go to a different doctor: any particularl doctor is NOT required to prescribe pain killers for you if 1) they feel they are not necessary; 2) they feel they are not safe or advised for you, given your other medical conditions or medical history or other medicines you are on; 3) they feel it would interefere with other, more urgent treatment; 4) they feel you may be "doctor shopping" to get prescriptions; 5) they have concerns about possible misuse of pain killers; and/or 6) you are looking for help with a long-term or chronic condition, but they are a doctor you saw only for acute or emergency care, who does not know your history, and so it would be inappropriate for them to prescribe--you should go to your regular physician. Doctors may--and are expected to--use their medical judgment in when to prescribe pain killers; if they deem it's not a good idea, there is no liability to them or ability to force them to prescribe. So you need to see another doctor, preferably your regular or long-term one, about his issue, and see if another doctor can help you, because this one that just say is not required to rethink his/her decision.
