Keikee, I agree with everything you said. I don't know of any Dr prescribing, plus IF they are, where are they getting it filled at?? BTW in response to your post to me a day or 2 ago, I am still stuck with the same rude Dr. I don't think there is anyone willing to prescribe the dosages we were all on at one time. However on a positive note I have been talking on the phone and by email to a lady who works on the special unit of Mike DeWines office, she contacted me because I sent him an email, she actually wanted to hear my story and suggestions. They are trying to look for solutions to us chronic pain ppl. I cannot believe someone actually heard me and contacted me. I will keep you updated, I speak with her quite frequently.

Hello I'm looking for a pain management Doctor for my father that will actually help decrease his pain and write narcotics. He has recently suffered a heart attack and bypass x 5. He has rhumatoid arthritis bad and is suffering in severe pain daily,unable to sleep work etc. It would be a dream if anyone knows a great Doctor who can help with his pain and control the arthritis flare ups. He said even the wind blowing on him is painful. I'm worried about the effects and stress the pain is having on his heart. Please if anyone knows anyone in Cleveland please let me know.

Miriena, your dad's Rheumatologist should be willing to either write for his pain meds or refer him to a pain management specialist in town. I'd be very surprised to hear of a Rheumatologist not helping take care of a patient with the type of pain you describe your dad as having. If the Dr doesn't appear to want to help, its time to find a new Dr. I understand your dad recently had heart surgery and am assuming chest pain is not part of his symptoms.

Coco,
How ironic! I just wrote a letter on Rob Portman's government page. I wrote it under the heading, share your story of addiction. Only I wrote about the horror of having medication taken away from legitimate, compliant, law abiding, tax paying chronic pain sufferers. I plan to touch base with all my state officials before midnight tonight. I wish you would too, Coco.

I've had spinal cirrhosis. I remember wearing a whale cartridge belt in fifth grade to keep my back from hurting me. I've been taking pain pills my whole life. I'm 55 now. I was on pain management for ten years and maybe more with never any problems with U/A's or anything. one day I was found with phenobarbital in my U/A after bringing all my pills to my doctors and finally figured out my wife gave me a pill one day when I had a headache and it was a migraine prescription pill. i have no idea. I'm also 55 years old. my pill count before I was 52 was 4 Percocet tens a day and two Oxycontin a day. I forget even the milligrams on them. I also took 4 tramadol a day. of course im addicted to them. i've been forced to take them when drs claimed to damn be miracles. thereafter 30 years plus I've been taking medicines from Darvocet to Oxycontin to Vicodin to Percocet. I have taken them all, you name it. immune to practically all of it. I take care of my wife, my house, i have custody my two and a half year old granddaughter, and I never needed that medicine to feel high. I needed that medicine to get out of bed and go work 10-12 hours at a mill. I have all my medical charts on my phone. I would be more than happy to send you all facts of my back neck and body. I understand the government has been taking away the privacy between doctors and their patients. I don't even know how they got to do that. I used to be able to tell my doctor anything. now everybody's afraid to tell you all anything you may think like every other doctor that I've really tried did. I'm just a pill seeker but let me tell you I'm a family man. I love my wife. I love my granddaughter. I need to work. I don't think it was fair I was kicked out of pain management for such minor mistakes and the worst part of all of this was I was kicked off immediately with over 30 years of pain medicine use. even the six years I spent in the Marine Corps I was medicated there also. left with no treatment, nothing. no medical withdrawal. no help. just left to pain and suffer it out. I have good insurance, have a good job. I don't like the government telling my doctor and me how I can live and work in peace and comfort. my wife and my family feel the same. I had energy. I drive. I had been thrilled to go out now I'm usually way too sore to enjoy any of my life. I know this may not concern you but it surely felt good for somebody to maybe be listening to me. I appreciate it. 55 year old man goes to work everyday, left his wife for 30 years, has a son who gave me my beautiful granddaughter, not a junkie.

Oh I have been.
My primary care referred me to a holistic pain management. Joke,, I'm bi polar... mild but as if I'm going to be around a group of people in hydro therapy!!! then my case manager referred me to another who has given me Topamax.
It has helped. I'm on 25 mg. I take them @ night. Going to ask to take dosage in the day as well.
I see it as no narcotics will be available to anyone with illnesses that aren't serious enough to them... it's a shame...
I'm extremely bitter... oh well...

I'm being stuck looking for one too. My doctors office told me to find a place that takes my insurance and let them know then they'll give the referral.

What is the office name or Dr name. Need to get into pain management and no one will refer me and if they do it's only to injection places which I am allergic to.

Re: Keikee (# 17)

I am on 30 mg oxycodne 4 times a day. Could you please help me Keikee? I live on the Ohio, PA. state line. I was with my Dr. for 22 years and he got busted and I can't even call anybody to get my records from him. He left the state. I went to a pain management doctor in Sharon, PA. And the nurse there was shady to me and a few others I got to know there. I take my medicine religiously or I can't function, my first urine supposedly got lost by UPS, the next one came back there was no meds in my system. Which was a lie. I went to a pcp for a few months just to get my meds, in Butler County PA, who gets hired? That nurse, she was fired for bad work ethics! She quit 2 days later. I asked her why she was so shady, she said if I don't want you there you won't be. Needless to say I can't find a pain management doctor to save my life. I am 60, and can't get the shot's because within 24 hours I have a heart attack. Last one was last May and almost died. Was in ICCU for 12 days. I am begging you please for the name of a good pain management doctor in Niles, Boardman, or Warren Ohio. I am really ready to have a nervous meltdown over this. I am not unstable or nutty, I have a wonderful pcp now, but he is new and I have to find a pain management doctor ASAP. Please help!

First of all, who is it that down votes all these comments even tho there's no reason to do it? It's uncalled for.

Re: keikee (# 1)

Hello Keikee. My name is Connie. I have had a severe back injury 10 years ago, fell 30 feet and my family doctor has had me on Percocet & Vicodin, but she is no longer giving out my med. I have went to a pain management doc in canton and he said he does not give out pain meds but yet wrote me one for 10 of them. I brought it to his attention that my aunt and I went at 7am & there were 10 other people there as soon as they opened the doors. The smell of cannabis was overwhelming. I was not going back to this doctor. I have bulging discs in my back and need a knee replacement. The pain I go thru everyday is overwhelming. I have seen a surgeon to get my back fixed. He said there is no way the surgery will help. I have had shots in my back, u name it. The bones in my body are deteriorating. I can not walk no more than an hour and my back and knee are hurting so bad. The problem is, I can not find a doctor that will listen and understand how I feel with being in constant pain. I have all my CD, I had tests on my back and knee and xrays. Please let me know if u can help. Thank you.

Re: Tim (# 142)

It's so great to hear from you and that you're doing well with your pain control! Makes my day to be honest!! I backed away from this site because one or more commenters followed my every move. They followed every post and would comment negatively. I mean really ugly. It just became a total downer to come here. Thank you for reaching out with your update!!! Love it. You deserve the good care you're receiving.
