REPORT

I live in Phila area, my family doc was giving me oxycodone for the last 4 years, 30 mg, up to 6 times a day, but a couple of months ago, he said he was getting pressure to stop writing these scripts, that I needed to find a pain management doctor, You need to have mris and proof that someone has been writing them for you. I have lots of back problems. I googled pain management doctor and found a couple of clinics. You will need a referral from your doc to the clinic. I have been taking pain meds for close to twenty years, Pa is getting stricter. They want to give shots, so you have to have good medical records.

Re: Mas (# 762)

Sepa is very strict and it's not easy to get pain meds prescribed from them at all. Had a female friend go there after being on 15-20 mg per dose and took her 3 months to find somebody. They started her on 5mg 3 times a day. Of course she ran out after a week and half and discharged herself. She fired them.... Found another pain doc who would give her 10s within a week. Sepa doesn't do enough milligrams, they're obsessed with cdc guidlines. If you were on 5s or 7.5 then sepa might work out, but if you were on 15s 20s 30s they will immediately tell you they're gonna cut your doses down.

Re: antman (# 763)

Antman, can you give some hints? I have been without my meds my meds for a while now, Im surviving. It's better than kissing that last Dr.s ass every month and putting up with his sexual innuendos and paying him for it...the blackmail, the insults...thank god I left that Practice! I am willing to pay cash for some relief. I want to be active with my teenagers again. I miss my babies, I miss my husband! I miss my life! Thank you Ant! I wish I could wave a magic wand and cure everyone here! Pain sucks.

Re: andrea (# 10)

Agree. Live in the Burgh 6 mos & Fla the other. Last trip I woke in terrible back pain, without a fall, or any other incident, I went to Allegheny Gen ER, they did XRAYs & fitted me with a vest & pain pills for 5 days, and then I was on my own to locate a PC Dr, which I did and who promptly REFUSED to give me any pain relief, & refer me to a pain clinic. When I called them, they advised a wait of about 1 week for a freaking INTERVIEW.. so I sat in a recliner in pain, with asprin, for 30 days until I was able to locate a surgeon to do KYAPLASTY at a hosp 45 min drive to Jefferson Hosp. This is outrageous that people in legit pain cannot get help but those on the street have access to pain meds...

I don't know if you have had any luck but I will tell you, if you are actually in that kind of pain, if you are otherwise healthy, there is a morphine pump implant you could check on. The meds go right into your spinal canal. No euphoria, just pain relief. Check it out. Also can use dilodid instead of morphine

My friend works with the DEA in D.C. Fact is, Trump is 100% responsible for people who have medical proof (MRI, etc.) are UNABLE to receive pain medication. The only reason I get the schedule 3 med is my cancer effects from 32 radiation treatments. As usual, Trump has done this & other’s without any care for chronic pain Americans. If you voted for him,you don’t have my sympathy.

Re: Kobe824 (# 771)

Yes, I moved back to Florida & my primary care doc who understood that I wasnt a junky and never took anything but asprin,UNTIL this back surgery.. How they can let people lay and suffer is beyond me.. all in the name of saving big pharma from law suits.... if your sick, in pain, seems the only way to live in comfort is to go to the streets. sad but true.... thank goodness for a primary doc who knows me well and prescribes accordingly...

Being in Pittsburgh says it all. That area is not a hot spot for heavy hands helping out pain.

Re: Karen (# 14)

Hi,
I have same situation . I was on 30 mg oxycodone, 7 times a day until about 3 months ago.
I have many serious back issues, including a nagging bad disc that causes pain to shoot down my legs, It is really frustrated, I was told that I was on too much oxycodone, They raised it there ,the doc raised it to 30 mg 7 times a day. Now, I can only live with the pain. I am going to start looking for another pain doc.

Pain management puts you in different Pain categories. Hospitals & staff treat you differently as if you're searching for a high.

Re: Poo (# 773)

I totally agree with you about this doctor all you see is Physician Assistance and they think they know it all. I went to this place for 12 years and I have only seen and talked with a doctor 3 times. I have had enough I am looking for a new Pain Clinic.

If you live in Phila area ;try the SEPA pain management company' You will need your regular Doc to send a letter and a copy of your MRIs; You have to thru a tough first interview; but if you make it; they will give you meds.
