    And even if 2017 is a typo, and you meant to say 2018, that would mean the RX was written and filled in August of this year (2017) making the RX three months old. There is no way that you had surgery and three months later you are still in pain. Even if you were still in pain, the RX would not last you more then 30 days and if you took a 30 day RX and turned it into a 90 day RX, you aren't in pain.

    More detailed.

    An uncontrolled prescription is valid for 1 year after it is written.

    Controlled III, IV and V are valid for 180 days

    Your script, Controlled II is valid for 30 days.

    Controlled I is not a valid substance.
    The info regarding a prescription expiring is the time frame it has to be filled in. It is customary for all prescriptions for tablets to state the prescription expires 365 days,after filling. That means the quality cannot be guaranteed. But, manufacturers expiration dates for tablet are almost always about 5 or more from when they are manufactured. This date is only in the bottle that comes from the manufacturer. Once a,prescription leaves the pharmacy. There is no way of knowing what conditions it is exposed to that might affect the quality of the medication.

    If the OP is having pain severe enough to require tho medication tho long after it,was,filled. He should have seen his doctor about the pain before now.
