Is It Illegal to Buy RX Drugs Over the Internet if You Have an Online Physcian Consultation?

Question by jessica: Is it illegal to buy RX drugs over the internet if you have an online physcian consultation?
[rewrite]I need a mild painkiller and doctors are so scared to prescribe them now because of addictions and I think, federal guidelines on how many they can prescribe and potential lawsuits. I have awful knee pain and have seen many Drs. and there isn’t anything that can be done. I would only have to take them first thing in the A.M. when it’s at it’s worst. Is there a certain company that is atleast somewhat legitimate? Can I get in trouble criminally for ordering? What kind of pill is best? AND TRUST ME, I have tried EVERY OVER THE COUNTER PILL and it doesn’t do anything. Thanks.
