Not shopping, I live in the same area you do, you will definitely need a referral to pain doc. There is a dr Torres in Warren, all the other ones in our area are jackasses, especially the guy I see. I will be seeing my pcp soon I will try and get advice and let you no, don't give up I no. It is very frustrating.

Look I've been trying to find a doctor who is not going to judge me solely on my drug list and actually treat me know for the problems I deal with daily and since moving back to the area it's been hell

Mm thank you for your response, I have no idea what to do! I'm worried I'll go to a pcp, hate them, try to find another and then get labeled a doctor shopper. My mum went to Veres & I did as well, then she passed in 2005, and I quit going to him in 2006. He was a horrible doctor, the son no better. I somehow lucked into my doctor in late 2007 and haven't really needed a pcp until now. I'm 30 yrs old, so I haven't got much experience when it comes to these types of things. For now I'm rationing what I have and taking a rx similar to zofran. When it's really cold outside and your fingers get so cold they feel hot? That feeling in my back left at base of sacrum/hip, that's rather unpleasant at times along with the tapering but in my mind its worth it to clean the slate, start fresh. Keep me updated, and thank you again! I appreciate your reply

Chrissy B, they all judge us, my one doctor told me in theses times we live in, you ARE A DRUG ADDICT till proven otherwise., it is so unfair, there is not a dam thing us pain sufferers can do about it either. I am so beyond frustrated and I don't no what to do. I cannot function with normal daily activities, no doctor gopives a dam

Notshop, you should add your location to the new thread you started. If you didn't that is. You might have to start a new thread cause I don't think editing is allowed here.

Notshop, I can give you the name of a great GP PCP in Canfield. What I would advise you do is have your medical records with you when you go to your appt. I don't mean pain clinic records. Just the medical records with any lab work, xrays etc. To be continued.

Notshp, I'm trying to keep my posts relatively short because longer tends to not get posted right away. I read thru all your posts & don't see where you've said what your diagnosis is. It might be helpful to know. Regarding your first visit with a new doc;don't ask for pain medicine. Just state on the intake paperwork what type of pain you have & how it's affected your life.

Keikee, I just moved from Canfield to Berlin Lake, who is your recommended doc, I have one but not so sure I really like him or not, thanks

Also on your new thread, Notshp, put the word methadone in the title. May 26th was your first post here so I'm assuming you'd just seen your pm doc. Are you completely out of medication? What got you dismissed from the pm? You accepted & tried to fill another docs script? Flunked a drug panel? It's always helpful for others to understand what will get you dismissed from a pain specialist.

MM, the GP I'm referring to is Chris Economus in Canfield. As I was telling notshopping, don't go in there talking about nothing other than your pain med issues.

Can anyone post pain management clinics that will take over from another doctor without wanting to make you go through withdrawals and what not just because they don't like the treatment your on

Keikee, I have heard of him and that he is very good, did you say to talk about the pain with him or do not talk about the pain, thanks

I called about making an appt (in Canfield) and was told they are not accepting new patients. Truth be told I do not know my proper, medical term diagnosis. I got into a car accident (I woke up sitting on the windshield facing the backseat) and now my hips constantly need adjusted, plus nerve damage in my lower back.

How do you get a pump put in ?

REPLY

Mm, you can talk to him or any new doc about your diagnosis or condition & say you're in pain 24/7. What I don't advise is going into your new docs office for the first time & asking for narcotics for your pain. I see that notshopping has just posted Chris Economus isn't taking any new patients. I'm sorry to hear that! Mm, if you have a diagnosis such as arthritis or spinal cord issues perhaps you could get right in with a Rheumatologist or for back pain, an Orthopedic specialist. I feel like everyone needs to have a general practitioner on their team as a first step.

Hi Linda Gail, how do you get a pump put in? If you mean a pump which houses narcotic pain medication for direct administration you'd definitely have to ask your Dr how that works.

Linda, why would you not ask your Dr that question.
