Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 136)

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!!!!!

Re CPR - according to some of the threads on here, CPR is recommending a mail order pharmacy for meds. Are they generally cheaper that way? I have consisted getting mail order if it is cheaper but afraid of all the pirate pharmacies out there that either aren't legit or don't do things properly and get themselves and their patients in trouble

I had to go to the ER this week (my doctor gone and doctor filling in was packed). I already have pain meds, and with my pain contract I can't accept any more from anyone else. So the ER doctor said to take 800mg of Ibuprofen with my pain med. I been taking 400mg instead. So far it's been helping.
How is your grandson? Our grandkids keep getting sick with all the stuff that's going around. Yesterday was the first day they were all together, so I hope no one made anyone else sick again LOL

I always wonder why I have something new and different to add to my illness every week. I follow the rules and stuff just keeps happening to me LOL It's weird that they would cut you down when you do follow the rules. That doesn't seem fair.

I have posted several times in this discussion, without so much as a "hello", or any reply whatsoever. Guess I should not be surprised, but I am. Good luck to you all, and I sincerely hope you show more respect, compassion, and concern for other newcomers. To simply acknowledge a post for help is not asking much!

Cooky... Not to be rude, but I haven't seen you post directly to our chat. Don't take it personally.... It's been the holidays AND people are dealing with personal issues. But, I can tell you that we are a helpful group of friends... And we do not take well to rudeness... Because there is no need.

The IRS is not going to be handling insurance. The IRS will be handling the taxation of the insurance benefit provided by employers. Since our i**** in chief decided that the amount the company pays toward our insurance is now considered taxable income and will show as such on tax forms.

My doctor in WA was in Stanwood. His name is Dr. Colombo. He is a great guy and actually takes time to get to know his patients. He is at The Everett Clinic in Stanwood. He will verify everything and try to find the best possible treatment....kind of like a doctor should.

CPR USES mail pharmacy assured because of the level of high narcotics some are on .It's easier for the Dea to track and be legit .The prices are no different . Rainbow, I don't know unless they feel they can't help you at that level of care .If u stay on short term pills long term u risk destroying your liver.They may have to referre you to pain management Boulder Mapleton takes medicade

I think you are right about "short" vs "long" term pain med. I took Percocet and it did wonderful for me, but after a certain amount of time, I had to move to oxy because Percocet isn't long term because of the liver damage.

Rainbow, may be they should try a low dosage of oxycodone like a 5mg or a 10mg instead of the Percocet. Ask them, because the liver damage may be exactly what they are worried about. Not that you did anything.

Almost every doctor is doing this now. Rainbow your going to have to be on a long term med. If u keep refusing the Smiths can fire you. If u can't take other meds like oxycotin or morphine they can't keep you, your a liability. Rainbow, try fentanyl, Opana, giving u perks is a health risk. Pain management will offer u inj's. if u can't take long term meds.
