Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 126)

I have a serious problem. My dr. had two patients start dr. shopping and has decided it is too big of a pain in his butt to continue prescribing, even though I have gotten MRIs and Xrays to prove my problems. I have over a half a dozen herniated discs in my low back, along with degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, scoliosis and arthritis in my facet joints. I am currently on5 30mg oxycodone a day for breakthrough and 60mg of methadone for my long lasting meds. I REALLY need a doctor in the Denver, CO area who will not judge me because of my age, thinking I'm just some drug seeker as I TRULY need my meds to function. I am even being placed on disability until I can get my back healed because if something doesn't change I will be in big time pain for the rest of my life. If ANYONE knows of a good doctor that prescribes strong meds willingly in the Denver area please let me know. I am in desperate need of help as I am going to be SCREWED if I cannot find a good doctor. SOMEONE please help me with a doctor!!!!!

jetmech,
It's wonderful that you will help people like that. It must be nice to have you as a friend, cause it's always wonderful to have friends that will go out of their way for you. I'm lucky cause I have a friend that I can call on when I run into a problem. A gift from god.

I missed most of what has gone on, but wanted to put my "2 cents" in LOL. My doctor (wonderful guy, long story) asked patients specifically NOT to put his name on the internet. Someone did so at some point and caused lots of havoc at his office. His staff was overwhelmed with "new" patients and he had lots of "filtering" through patients to do. Over 90% of the "new" patients were not "legitimate sick", so they aren't current patients.

I understand what you were saying about it being hard for someone new to read all the posts that we "chatty" people have on here. But I'm sure you understand how "touchy" some of the people are. They've been burned and are "gun shy" now. Not all of us agree with each other all of the time. Sometimes it can get heated, but it would be very boring if we did agree all of the time. It's important that (after the heat dies down) all of us respect each others right to have a different opinion, and I believe most everyone does. Some of the people who disagree with each other the most, have turned out to be VERY good friends.

Very glad you were able to find a doctor in the Denver area, because you had mentioned that you were considering going back to WA. I asked you not to give up on Colorado LOL. Hope you consider coming to a support group meeting. I was able to make the first one and am so glad I did. I live a long distance from Denver, so I know I won't be making many, but I think it's worthwhile for everyone.

I was telling you before, that when I did the divorce, it seemed as if a part of my person (my whole world) was falling apart. My children were at home, so I had to carry on, even when I didn't want. As awful as the whole thing was, if it had not happened, I would not be with the wonderful man I am with now (17 years so far).
Lots of people care very much what is happening to you. I know you can reach out at any time to almost everyone here. Luv and prayers for you.

I must be better than I thought, cause I'm chatting away. I know that I post lots, especially when I don't feel well. I must be at the "feeling better, not feeling good" point LOL

Just a little side note. I didn't know at the time what caused the divorce. Still all these years later, I don't know. People who knew us, would ask me, what happened. All I could ever say was "don't know". I spent some time trying to figure it out, but never could.

Wendy I'm so glad Tom is feeling better. I hope your truck is up and running and you are doing ok with your roommate bailing on you. Remember I'm close by if I can help.

Rainbow hang in there. I know you are an incredible Mom and Grandma and they all appreciate all the hard work you do for them. Sometimes we just grow apart in a relationship, and we do better apart, however heartbreaking that it is.

Susie I am sorry that you fell again and I'm sad that you are sad, lol. You keep everyone on here up beat always, having encouraging words for us all. Have you ever tried an anti-depressant because I think it may help you. It is so easy to get down when you feel lousy all the time and a small glitch in the road can seem like such an obstacle. Think about talking to your Dr. about one next time you see him. Until then (((HUGS)))) from me!

Thank you. I took Cymbalta (anti depressant) for several years, for fibromyalgia pain. Suppose to help, but I'm not sure it helped the pain at all :). But it may have kept me from hitting the pits as often. I started having side effects, so I couldn't take it any more. Someone was saying that Welbutrin (sp?) works, so I was thinking that when I see him again, that I may talk with him about it.

I sent a post to you, but it's under review. When it does post, you'll have to go back about 6 to 10 posts to read it. Thanks.

Just FYI - Dr Cambe retired from Mapleton Clinic in Boulder in July 2014. Great doctor who is sorely missed - pun intended.
