Doctors Who Will Prescribe Pain Medication In Boston (Top voted first)

I have been suffering from a failed patella replacement for 12 years. Tramadol sometimes helps, but the risks for stroke are too high. I was being treated by a doctor in RI but he lost his license. Is there anyone in Boston area who can prescribe vicodin 10/325 legally?

I believe her name is Kathleen Knowlton, NP
YES SHE IS JUST AS GOOD.
SHE MAY HAVE U SIGN A CONTRACT. BUT, WHAT U DO IS CALL AFTER HOURS AS WELL AND LEAVE MESSAGE ASKING IF THEY HAVE ANY OPENINGS DUE TO PATIENT CANCELLATION. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO WAIT 7 MONTHS. BUT CALLED AND THEY GAVE ME A NEWER DATE.
BUT, YES THE NP IS VERY GOOD.
ITS ONLY DR. MAGGIACOMO AND KNOWLTON, NP WHO WORK THERE.

Risk for stroke? That's not an elevated risk with tramadol; no more than any other pain medication...

Actually the risk of stroke by taking tramadol is very low, and taken with ibuprofen can actually LOWER the risk of stroke. Where did you hear that it increases your risk of stroke?

I was told by a prominent sports medicine surgeon he won't prescribe Ultram for that reason. And NSAIDS are out, as my first orthopedic surgeon overprescribed Advil and Alieve, so I know have 4 holes in my stomach. I know what works for me and just want to find a doctor to monitor my progress.

Odd. There are no studies showing tramadol increasing chances of stroke. Maybe he meant seizures? That's the only thing tramadol is known to elevate the risk of.

I'm in my third year of med school and my father is actually a rhematologist. He confirmed there is no known increase in stroke risk when taking tramadol. Many docs, especially surgeons are misinformed about this drug. As far as Vicodin, it's more addictive (and more dangerous due to the acetaminophen) than tramadol, so tramadol would probably be safer. It doesn't have the added element of Tylenol, which can cause liver damage. If taken correctly, tramadol produces the least side effects of any pain killer.

Thanks. I'll check into it. Currently I managed to arrange for my PCP to help me, but he is not happy about it... it's on my list of meds.
I'm sad to hear that services like firstchoice and others are no longer able to find doctors who can legally meet with patients and assist them with pain management.
If anyone hears otherwise, please let me know.

Mostly every major hospital or medical center has a pain clinic. Near Boston, there is Franklin Pain Center, 20 Patriot Place, Foxboro, MA. It shouldn't be edited out because this is publically advertised on the web.
