Hi Toni! Could the Dr who's been prescribing the medication you're needing refer you to a pain management specialist? If you're waiting for surgery perhaps the surgeon could help you find someone. If not the surgeon, your PCP should be able to help you get in somewhere. You'll need a referral from a physician of some kind to get in the door of a pain specialist, no doubt. Please let us know how everything works out for you!

Trobin52, Would your PCP help you find a pain management Dr? Do you see a Rheumatologist for your arthritis and fibromyalgia? Is there any specialist or PCP in your life can assist in referring you to a pain manager?

Hi Mick! I hope you're doing ok today! A PCP can write your script, once maybe twice in an emergency situation but long term you're going to have to be under a Pain Specialist care to fill monthly scripts for narcotics. It sucks but it's true. Thank your American federal government for that. From the President to the DEA. And your state's Governor and the Pharmacy Board. Has your PCP moved already? If so, is a new PCP in the office? Who has your records? You'll need a referral to a pain specialist and having the records of your treatment thus far is basically imperative. Do you have insurance or is your's a workers comp situation? Insurance Co can help you find a new PCP. Or Google search "primary care drs within 25 miles of Leigh Valley, Pa". There's a ton of drs in that area! If your problem is for example a back pain issue, your new PCP can examine you followed by a referral to an Orthopedic dr then Orthopedic dr can refer you to pain management. If I may give a couple suggestions re: what NOT to say to the scheduling person at a new PCP office when calling for am appt. You don't want to say "I need a prescription for ______(narcotic) because of back, shoulder, head, neck or whatever pain". That will get you a quick "dr so and so isn't talking any new patients at this time". You'd want to ask for am appt because:

A. You need a new PCP because yours moved away.
B. You have a really bad back ache, you tried lifting something too heavy and felt a sharp pain.

Those two things should get you in the door quickly without revealing your chronic issue. Once you're in the exam room, alone with your new dr tell him about your pain problem but DO NOT ASK FOR A SPECIFIC NARCOTIC or any narcotic for that matter. Just be very honest about the pain and how is interfering in your daily quality of life. Don't try to down play it. Don't be Mr Stoic. Don't be shy about it. Tell it like it is. If you feel like crying, cry. It sucks to have to go through all that but since your old PCP didn't set you up with a new PCP, which he should've done but it's too late for that. Lesson learned right? Never let your Dr move away without getting set up with a new one! I'm sorry for your situation but that's the world we're living in.

Last year I was sitting inside a Walgreens pharmacy waiting for a prescription. I could see the people who pulled up to the window. See and hear the conversation. A couple drove up in an SUV and said they were here for a pickup for whatever name. So the girl goes to get and returns with the script which has a note attached and has now been written on by Walgreens so called pharmacists etc..the girl says, "we can't fill this". "Why?" The man asks. The girl goes back to the pharmacist and whispers something then returns to the window and stutters "it doesn't meet our criteria for this amount of narcotic. You have to see a pain specialist". I felt like screaming "take the prescription someplace else! Explain you didn't know you had to have a pain specialist write the script for the medicine you've been taking for a year for your pain! That you'll see about getting in with a pain specialist but for now you really need this medication!".. I considered running outside to see if I could catch the people. Finally decided I couldn't run that fast. Those bastards. They couldn't have filled the script but tell the customer next month it would have to come from a specialist? SURE they could've! I got the prescription I was waiting for which was not a narcotic. Left the store, went home, got on the phone & had my other scripts with refills transferred to the pharmacy at the grocery store I shop with. That was the last straw with those people. I doubt it'll ruin them but I'll never shop there again. Grrrrr. Please let me know if there's any way I can help you Mick. I'll do a search for you if you like, just let me know if yours is a workers comp case or not. There are Dr's who'll treat you, it's just a matter of finding one??

I am in the Lehigh valley or philadephia area and wanted to see if anyone could help in finding a primary care doctor who will prescribe oxycodone. I had a good one I was using due to my herniated disk, however he moved and haven't been able to find another doctor anywhere with-in 2hours. I know PCP's can write for it, because mine was in the past with no problem, however I guess a lot of them are unwilling to do so.

Lane, I hope you're hanging in there this evening. I live about an hour outside Pittsburgh in Northeast Ohio. My experience with pain management goes back almost 20 years. Things were going great for me from 1995 until mid March, 2014 when the clinic I attended closed suddenly. God it's SUCH a long story. So I just came across a new website for a hospital based pain clinic with an MD and DO. According to their web page, medication management is within their scope of treatments. The pain clinic is located at West Kenmawr Plaza 500 Pine Hollow Rd McKees Rocks, PA 15136. 412-254-8744 is the phone number given for appts. It certainly sounds like a dream come true but of course nothing is easy in these days of government interference of drs, patients in pain and the medication so necessary to continue some quality of life. I've searched pain specialists in your area and mine for people I've met here and myself of course. I've never seen this site or heard of the two drs. It certainly looks legit and I checked the copyright for the page. The copyright is dated 2015 which is a very good sign. Give them a call. Type Ohio Valley Hospital into your Internet browser. Google search is best. I hope this helps in some way. Let me know how it works out for you.

Can you kindly provide me a name of doctor in Pittsburgh that will write pain medication for a chronic autoimmune issue. My doctor can no longer write because of issues involving the DEA. I have a condition that is well documented. I would either go to a private doctor or a pain clinic whichever would prescribed the medication.
