I had a staph infection on my balls when I was recovering from cancer. My normal doctor was busy so I went to urgent care, with blood dripping down my leg. It was the first time I ever asked for pain killers. I was prescribed acetaminophen.

I understand that addiction is a big problem, but this was a male doctor looking at a whole in my testicles, and telling me he can't give me painkillers

I think that it universal of urgent care. If you need pain meds it has to be the ER or your PCP/GP in my experience.
Do you have long hair or any other signs?
I barely had any hair I was just a few months off chemo.
