Do I have a right to question my GP?

[mataribot]

To make a long story short, my hip is completely gone and stopped taking the Celebrex. Both my hands started and feet started swell. Fast forward until today, and I wanted to cut my hands off they hurt so bad. So gave in and saw my GP. He suggested Prednisone. Both my derm and Rhumey said absolutely no steriod pills/injections at this point. So I refused and gave me a narcotic instead. So now I am stoned writing this thread. Not sure if I made the correct decision, but don't want to have rebound flare that could possibly unmask something more serious that my plaque.

What do you think; did I have the right to make that choice?
