Doctors Who Prescribe Pain Killers In Philadelphia (Page 4)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Hi,

My current doctor has decided that it would be best to stop my monthly prescription for 30mg percocets. I have chronic back pain from skiing injuries and other sports related problems. I have never abused or taken more than was suggested. I never got "high" and was always able to work and interact with clients in a positive way. Now without the medication, the pain is becoming a distraction. Does anyone know a doctor who isn't scared to prescribe common pain killers. They are produced for a reason, but recent uptake in illegal abuse has made doctors uneasy with long term prescriptions? I live in the Philadelphia area (main line) but I am familiar with the greater Philadelphia metro area. Thank you and kind regards.

Hello. After a failed surgery at Rothman, I'd stay away from Vaccaro. I was then treated at bt Temple who was great. Dr Weaver did an L5 S1 fusion and I had rods and screws in place. I then went to a primary who told me he wanted to give me pain medicine for my S1 nerve complications. Suspect he didn't want me to see a pain specialist and now I know why.....$$$$. He had me on up to 10 30mg Oxycodone pills per day, xanax, and restoril. I told him I didn't want to be on these meds and he decides to put me on Subutex for pain control which has not worked. I already take 2,400mg Gapapentin per day with Motrin and most days its fine. I had a set back and now he no longer will prescribe pain meds. Keep in mind this doctor is in AA and I know him from there so he already knew my tendencies for re-addiction, a real catch 22. I have my medical records showing what he was prescribing me and plan to call a powerful lawyer group where the lawyers are doctors. Their site said he acted irresponsibility, he should have sent me to pain mgmt and now I tell him I am going to the VA for pain mgmt, due to a service connected injury he no longer see dollar signs and cuts me off. I then read about him on message boards and find out he is a pill writer and has many patients hooked on narcotics, suboxone, and subutex. The DEA will be getting a call so I can hopefully save other patients of his the trauma I am facing and now am looking for a pain mgmt practice in my area. Any help would be appreciated. I called the hospital that did my fusion and they can't get me seen until Feb. If you want to know the doc to stay away from, I can tell you. I am a retired Nurse and know about these kind of greedy doctors.

If you have all your paperwork showing what your event doc gave you, try Greater Philadelphia Health Action on 1408 S. Broad Street. Dr Daria Pelligrino is great. A little snobbish at first but really tries to help as long as you follow her guidelines. You will need to find a pain mgmt Dr as she'll only fill rx until you do. Good Luck!

I am looking as well since I have serious problems with my health, disc problems, spinal stenosis and blood clots. I can't get inj's. due to blood clots. I also have two ripped meniscus, bulging discs and sciatica. Please if someone can help me find a Medicaid Dr that will help me walk and actually help me please tell me. I need to find a Dr ASAP.

I don't think you're going to find a primary to prescribe pain meds. I know in Delaware they don't. And i dont know who your pain mgmt dr is but 2 10 mg oxy for all your issues is crazy. Thats like taking tylenol after you had major surgery

I was wondering if you ever considered botox injections for your migraines. I have a rare neurological disease and wanted to try botox in my leg muscles which is one thing that may help with the spasticity. I went to dr lee dresser at st francis hospital in wilmington, delaware, and he said he mostly goves botox for migraine headaches. I dont have migraines and never heard of it but i thought i would mention it

I wish I could read between the lines lol. I am in such desperate need of pain relief. I'm at the end of my rope. 1 10mg oxycodone every 12 hours just is not helping. Herniated dics, neck and lower back, subluxation of spinal vertebra, tear in disc, nerve root damage, spinal stenosis, etc and the list goes on. Any info is appreciated.

Hello,
I am interested in not just finding a doctor who will prescribe pain meds, but who will also come up with other solutions. Can you provide me with the doctor's info? I have cervical and lower lumbar herniated discs, spinal stenosis, subluxation, an anular tear in a disc, nerve root compression, and the list goes on and on. I have pharmacy records, mris, emgs, etc. Looking for permanent relief, but also medication to keep me out of my bed. I'm at the end of my rope. 10mg of oxycodone 2x a day is not helping.
Thank you

Hey Rc philadelphia, I am also looking for a pain management doctor and having trouble finding one that would treat me. I have hemicranium countinuim (that means I have a migraine all of the time in varying degrees of pain). I have seen multiple neurologists and they give me all of the migraine medicine possible for me to try, but none of them worked, so they referred me to pain management. Even if someone else has information please reply.

My doctor has been treating me chronic knee and shoulder pain with oxycodone 30. He's told me I need to see a pain management doctor because federal guidelines state as if dec 31 of this year he will not be able to prescribe them. I've weened myself off them and I find my life has taken to sitting around due to way too much pain. I go to water aerobic therapy 4xweekly and it's all good until I get out if the water. Can anyone help!
