Suggest Medicines For Scoliosis And SI Joint Dysfunction

Can you write legal prescriptions? I have scoliosis, SI joint dysfunction (suspected) and a vertebrae that is pushed forward and to the side. Am waiting on an MRI, but have to wait until the first of the year. HATE the thought of asking my doctor for pain medication, so much so that he asked and I said no. He gave me a Medrol dose pack which helped initially, but now pain is back with a vengeance. Christmas shopping to do, two young children. I feel crippled.
