And Lisa Carmine and Antman, thank you for all your kind words and help and advice we are all here for each other and I love that about this forum/extended family. I did pray Lisa, I believe in the power of prayer and honestly I prayed that things would go my way and The doc would be patient and listen to me but I also prayed that if things didn't go my way that I would accept whatever decision was made!

I agree swish. You're asking way to many questions that we aren't even allowed to answer on this site. I don't doubt that you are a trustworthy reliable human being, but I still will never give my doctor's information out, not will I give out any info about the practice. Please don't take any offense to that. Just that practice is so overrun with patients already. I'm not doubting that you need to be there but since what happened to me happened to me, even with the situation being rectified my lips are sealed! Antman is right, can you believe that you have the doctor and practice figured out. All you have to do is call there for the info, ask what day you can get an appt. on and ask what info you need to be part of their practice, the same way I did. Sadly you don't have a choice on which day you could go and which doc you see being a new patient. They will tell you if they are taking new patients and what info you need whether it be copies of MRIs, x-rays, pharmacy records etc... and if they get you in they will make you an appointment you go to every few weeks on that same day. Once you have a relationship built up with the practice and the doctor you may be able to change your day, but in the beginning you don't have an option to pick a day to go. You go when and if they can fit you in. Just call down there. Good luck.

Nikki, im so happy to see everything was cool at your dr appointment this week! I was appalled by what happened to you at your last appointment! For those of us who live in mortal pain every day of our lives this medication is like insulin to a diabetic. Im so sick of hearing how we are all drug addicts who just want to feel high and we are the reason for the opioid epidemic. I need my meds. I dont sell them. I don't abuse them. Even at my highest dosages 2 years ago i never felt high from them as my pain level was outrageous. After 4 failed back surgeries including a spinal fusion and having a piece of my own hip bone removed and soddered into my spine along with several titanium screws if anyone thinks that needing pain meds is not ok and along with 6 diseases in my back and legs that will never get better only degenerate every single day i say you try to live like this. I get so sick of people telling me to leave it in God's hands he will heal you. I start to cry when people tell me that because I tell them I've left it in God's hands for over 30 years and he must be ignoring me because for 30 years it has only gotten worse ever since I was 17 and someone drunk got into an accident with me and smashed my entire car along with my spine... Now I've been taken off of 85% of my pain medication and can barely get out of bed to go to the bathroom. I'm just sick of this whole opioid epidemic thing being blamed on the people who actually take their medication. I just wish I could find a doctor in the Philadelphia area that would actually have the balls and the guts to give me the medication that I need. My doctor is so strict and told me in Philadelphia actually in Pennsylvania you're only allowed 90 mg of morphine and that includes the Percocet or the Roxicodone you take being counted as one and a half times the amount of morphine it's considered. So I'm on such a low dose of medication it's like taking nothing at all. I'm glad you guys have a doctor who will continue to write the medication that you need. I'm happy that you didn't get any crap from your doctor's this time Nikki and I hope it stays that way. God bless you to all my fellow peeps out there who are in pain...

Nikki,

Im so glad to hear it worked out for u.... you remember when i told you he said i failed for opiates when i knew there was no way i could possibly fail for that cause i dont do it. So it seems like the drunk doc is full of s***. What did u get raised to? And also i remeber u tried getting a long lasting med and they didnt give it to u... have u finally got a long lasting version? I FELT SO BAD FOR U WHEN HE SAID THAT ABOUT YOU. IM GLAD U PROVED HIM WRONG...

Nikki, Antman, Carmine,

I've been contemplating going to your doc. I got an MRI of my lumbar spine done a few months back, and I just got my neck MRI done recently. Still no word on the results yet. I have an appointment next week. I'm hoping something bad comes up, maybe it will nudge my doc in the direction of medication. I plan on laying it all out on the table at this appointment. How I need to be back on medication, and that I'm choosing to go that route. I have bad anxiety, which just worsens when seeing doctors. I too often dont speak up for myself and just go along, knowing whatever it is wont help with what Im going through. If things dont change, I plan on finding a new doctor, and I this is probably the route Im going to try. I asked before, but what would be the best days to try going? Id rather go when he is there with hopes of seeing him and not an assistant doc. Again, you dont have to worry about me spilling the beans. Not to sound selfish, but Im only interested in getting help for myself. Im not a selfish person by any means, but when youve been dealing with chronic pain for 10+ years and have been untreated the last few years, you get to a point where your only concern is not being in pain every day of your life. If you guys can just help me out in the right direction that'd be awesome. Only asking for little help. I've done my research on my own and ended up at this conclusion. Just dont want to try without him being there. Thanks guys.

We need more doctors like him!!! He is not a coward! He is a modern day saint to patients who truly are in pain and he follows the law!!! Us 3 are truly privileged to have found the saint.....We chant that when he comes in the doors between 9:30-10:00 on fridays and he always smiles!!!

That means the saint approves of you..i was worried about you i checked for your post 8 times yesterday saw nothing !!!....he likes you he doesnt find u as addicted or a threat to his practice and he probably will close the door and yell at the drunk doc for even saying that to you....aka good old saint N@@@......u may as well stay with him if i were you id stay away from that drunk doc..........ive been with him for years im the one who along with another patients help nicknamed him that over at our practice out here...but yall up real far in pa thats too far yall got that lol.

All is well in the world today Carmine & Antman. I saw the SAINT today and he gave me back my Oxycodone. He was in such a rush today as his office was packed, i had this big speech prepared and i went in the room, he said the normal "what can i do for you today", i said well supposedly I failed a drug panel and explained how the drunk doc accused me of selling my meds. I told him I tried the subutex for a week bc the drunk doc switched me to that and it didn't work for my pain, it took the edge off yes but it's nothing compared to my oxycodone. He looked at me and said that's funny bc there is nothing in your file about any calls about you selling meds and he actually upped my strength of oxycodone!!!! I couldn't believe it, they go from saying I failed a drug panel to actually giving me back my meds and upping me! I am so happy I got my pain pills back, but I defiantly think something fishy is going on down there. Anyways thanks for all the nice comments and advice. I'm happy I decided to go see him and fight back and not just surrender. Thanks again all.

He said "hows your pain?" and i told him. i asked him if my levels were cool he said they are better this week and i got my scripts no more than 5 minutes....he was in a very good mood today....nikki, this is your shot to prove it's BS. Tell him nobody ever told u about it....if u knew u would've stopped kissing your boyfriend.. or whatever u gotta say.

Naw i take no offense.....antman here......the police was a weird idea. I just said any old thing off the top of my head cause i'm upset they're doing this to people. The pee cup is a better idea than the police cause they have pee cups that test for the bupe and oxy...lol.....

Carmine when i say saint @@@@....do u know what doctors nickname that is for? he he he he he he he he........my appointment is this friday. I'm extremely scared some doctor may try the same thing with me so i'm thinking of seeing the PA Thursday....this way i can have my levels sky high the following two weeks when i see the saint.........matter of fact ima be a big boy and see the saint ill let y'all know if he treats me with the respect i deserve as i took 4 30s on thursday and been taking them all week and took 10 mg methadone 2-3 times a day all week....it should be in my system....And carmine, the money thing may just work because they may have to pay for extra testing for the record in accordance with pa laws....patients responsible for extra drug testing when the owner sees how serious she is...but yea scratch the police being there.........antman they are of no help unless you're filing a report.

Nikki,

Hey you, srry thing are going so bad..... but this is just my oppion but just cause the girl upfront is rude to you i dont think she really could switch it.. there is a camera there so the two times he said u failed for subs tell him u want to see the tapes for your 2 appointments where u supposedly failed for subs...

When they told u that u failed for subs did u tell them u want to see the lab results? u can make them print it out..... also they have certain cut off numbers, so for example opiate's cut off number is 10 and if you got an 11 then you could say your boyfriend takes subs n u must have kissed him after he took one the day of your appointment.... that will work unless the 2nd test shows a higher number.

And bringing the cops in on it and also your own pee cup......i don't think is a great idea, as well as bringing extra money and showing you're willing to pay more...... Just for that they could kick you out, saying it's a bribe...

I think u can try and talk to the owner cause they gave u different stories why the can't serve u any more, am I correct about that?

ANTMAN

Hope u don't take offense that i don't like the ideas you told her.... but i'm upfront - i don't say I agree with someone's opinion if i don't.. so sorry in case that bothers you..

NIKKI

LET ME KNOW WHAT U THINK ABOUT THIS POST..... AND IF U DO GET KICKED OUT I HAVE ONE OTHER PLACE.

P.S.

THE OTHER PLACE IS SUPER STRICT

P.S WISH EVERYONE ON HERE GOOD LUCK.... DEALING WITH YOU PAIN I WISH I COULD HELP ALL OF YOU

That does seem really strange to me. Are you certain youve NEVER taken bupe at all? I'm not doubting that you haven't, but I know it stays in your system a lot longer than other pain meds. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. What happened after the appointment where he "discharged" you're meds because of the UA ? You've gone back to talk to the owner already? And, are they saying that you can still go to the office but only for subutex? That's even weirder to me. Normally if you really did fail multiple tests, youd be discharged completely, no? Idk, I'm no expert. I'm still trying to find my own way of being treated with the meds I need. Just got an MRI of my neck done last night. I'm hoping that shows some irregularities. It's crazy that I have to hope something is wrong just so I can know more sources/reasons for the pain & to help lead me closer to being on meds to deal with the pain. Guess we'll see with that.
