I have a question to anyone, has anyone tried the natural but controversial herb
Keaton ? I have tried it a few times different strains, capsules, powder, from what I read, there is certain strains used for pain control, and others used for opiate withdrawals. I am thinking about adding it again to my regime, my dr just isn't giving me enough for pain control, I just hope the FDA stays out of this, the Asians been using it for thousands of years.

I too am in the same place as you. I've been to several pain clinics without success. I have severe lower back and knee pain and have had to go on suboxone while looking for new doc to treat me. I am looking for compassionate doc in western pa, n.e.ohio or wherever I need to go

Margie, I've not heard of Keaton but I have heard of Kratom which has helped many people with their chronic pain. I did some research last year and ended up purchasing a package with a variety of "flavors". Certain ones are better for pain, others for anxiety etc. The Internet holds all the info u could imagine on Kratom. I'll post my experience with it here I promise but I've gotta run to an appt right now. I'll be back...

Keikee, I meant Kratom, I don't no why at came up spelled that way., I have tried different strains,mad some success mostly for withdrawals , not much for pain relief, they say the best is the powder, I could not do the powder because it is the worst taste I have ever had, but the best place I have ordered from was Kratom country, something like that, the local head shops suck. I was curious as to weather anyone else had success with it. I did see my pain doc yesterday, I asked him why the pain doctors do not take each patient and evaluate them on their particular pain situation, his reply because of all the buricrats. I also told him I felt it is very unfair because I myself was a patient of Rinerri that I was flagged, his reply was "LIFE ISNT FAIR". He is right, life isn't fair.

Hey Eljay,
Good luck finding a compassionate doctor today, I don't believe they exist. I can give you the name of my dr, you would definitely need a referral from your primary, it took me over a year to prove myself that I am a true chronic pain patient, I didn't care for him at first, but I had limited options and I go every 2 months, I am in and out, not waiting hours because they double book patients, I do believe that he could be of help, if you would like his name, let me no, he is located near St Elizabeth hospital in downtown Youngstown, if your interested let me no.

What is suboxene? I have heard of it but no nothing about it, haven't had time to research it yet. Do they use it for pain control or for withdrawals?

I have stage three Osteoarthritis in both my knees. My doc who was prescribing my Percocet is no longer practising at this time. What doc in the Youngstown warren area will keep me on my current medications? I have two little boys and a knee replacement is not an option for me right now!! PLEASE HELP?

Hello, I was recently discharged from a pain management doctor that I was seeing for the better part of a decade. I was getting prescribed methadone and would like to find a family physician/general practitioner that would write me one last script. I plan on making my primary care physician permanent (unless they're terrible) and am not asking for someone to write me scripts. I only need one month to taper off. I cannot stand the thought of suboxone, I've done all the research and it's not worth it. I would rather get out of pain meds completely and find alternatives, however my current dosage is too high to do that effectively or safely. I do not wish to sign a new pain management contract (I would like to get off them, not start the process over) and the guy can't be a quack. Please and thank you

Apologies, I forgot to ask-I have read that when a doctor ends the doctor-patient relationship, it is a requirement to write me a prescription inside of 30 days since I am on a maintenance schedule? They said my appt. for next month was cancelled and no narcotics would be prescribed to me. I don't want to make a fuss or get anyone in trouble, I just want to make sure I know what's going on. I'm from Warren/youngstown btw, apologies for not mentioning that earlier.

Notshopping, I'm sorry it seems no one answered your question. I hope you've found a new doc by now! To answer your question about whether your Dr is required to cover you for 30 days after dismissing a patient, the answer is "no". They can dismiss you the day before you swallow your last pill and not fill your script. Sorry! Let me know how you're doing.

Thank you Keikee, I have not had any luck and am currently in withdrawal. Still searching for a PCP in my area, haven't got one. Thank you for answering my questions, I know there is a law about dismissing patients and medication but was unsure if it applied to me. Everyone in my family has passed away & I do not have any friends. I like being solitary so I do not mind much, however it makes things difficult in areas such as this one and cooking...I hate baking so much, lol. Thank you again, I appreciate you taking the time out to answer. If you need anything as well let me know.

Notshopping, If you'd be open to it, Suboxone might get you feeling better, however it seems that aprox 8 out of 10 people posting on the Suboxone threads are going thru hell trying to get off of it. I've read where some people are on it, it maintains them well, gets them thru work every day & they plan to stay on the 2mg or whatever they're on for the rest of their lives. On the other hand there's those who just want to get off of it and are in withdrawals which seem to go on and on for months. In fact some are still experiencing depression and other things a year or two after stopping. Maybe your insurance can set you up with a new pcp. What town are you in?

Can you refer me to pain doctors who can prescribe methadone? I just moved here.

I started a new thread (GP that can short term prescribe narcotics) but haven't gotten any hits on there either. I have looked at the information in regards to suboxone and I refuse to take it. I don't like what I'm reading about it and I don't want to trade one beast for another. I can't afford going to the methadone clinic, and even if I found another pain management doctor I would still need a referral from a PCP, which I don't have. I have no idea how to go about getting one. I can't make appt after appt with different doctors trying to find one that will help me. Will I be treated differently or judged? Will I fit some profile and get treated like a criminal? I don't have the energy to take a shot in the dark and hope I hit something. I don't know a soul that can recommend me anyone, and no one has replied. At this point I'll probably give up, it's harder trying to get the name of a good GP than it is to catch a unicorn. I knew pain mgmt doctors were hard to find but it didn't know this about GP. I'll ask my psychiatrist it there's anything she can do and if not I'll handle this the best I can.

Suboxone isn't an option, I've researched it and it's not for me. I'm worried about going to a doctor and being judged poorly, and it wouldn't be in my favor to close my eyes and let my finger pick a name in the phone book. Although that's the point I'm at, it's hard to believe I can't get a recommendation for a PCP, I can't imagine what I'd have to go through if I were seeking another pain mgmt doctor. I started a thread but no replies yet (GP that can short term prescribe opiods), not sure if anything I'm posting is in the right place.
