Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 143)

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!!!!!

CO Susie, I can thoroughly understand Her paranoia and although I'm not sure he is Cookie, I may not always respond but I always read this group, I agree there is something seriously wrong here! The positive thing is that there is nothing he can do to us! I've been with this group since its infancy and am really happy where it is going! It's a true support group instead of a group to find out who gives the best meds! It's why I've been participating more! Both of the two of them, Cookie and Jetmech have some severe issues! And there r folks here that have far more information than most would realize! This frankly shouldn't b an issue unless someone is doing something wrong and of course a huge change over to a different group but in all honesty even that was understandable because they took insurance! I tend to b a very protective person and been in the medical profession for over 30 years and tend not to hold my tongue when I c wrong and mostly c people that don't treat people right! They don't teach doc's pain management in medical school and this is a true disservice to many! Just know I have your guys backs and make no jokes about this, many pain management folks know of this site and there isn't anything they can do about it! Won't stop me from opening my big mouth and I am here for all!

At no time have I called you...or anyone else on this site a seeker. I have said the word addict....and I stand by it... including myself. One cannot be on narcotic pain meds long term and not develop an addiction to them. As for not replying to questions people ask...including is simple. I have a life, I am busy and I do not have time to search through pages of garbage to find something addressed to me. As for your feelings and name calling....I don't really have 2 f***s to give. You don't have a clue who I am...or what I am about. I do more volunteering and donating of my time and money in a year than you ever will. I would guess that in 2013, I donated more cash than you earned. I also volunteer weeks of my time per year as a flight mechanic flying around with organizations like Angel Flight, going to pick up sick people all over the world and bring them to hospitals in the USA so they can be healed. So you go on with yourself and run your uneducated mouth....same goes for the rest of the flock of hens. I have offered advice...as well as real doctors names... instead of pill mills. I welcome the person who asked about back surgery to contact me directly. I can tell the name of the clinic that turned my 70 year old father from a cripple into a vibrant man again. And you mention the overweight issue..... do you know how much overweight I am? No you don't...and the number isn't very big. What is wrong with one of the knees is a defect....and is under recall. I just don't want to go through the surgery again until things are right for me.
By all means..... call names and talk all the trash you wish. I am sitting here in my nice house....with my nice things and laughing. Have a nice day!

I feel like JM is just sitting back, loving all the attention he is getting. I think we have reached the point of no return with him... And we should ignore him from now on. No more replies mentioning his name no matter what he says. He has proven his character and nothing he says is supportive or humble or anything but mean and ugly. GOODBYE JETMECH.

rainbowflowers,
You don't need to be going anywhere. You belong here on this site with all of us. You haven't done anything wrong and you don't deserve to have him insult you. It's now at the point for us to ignore jetmech2. We all tried to help him and he is obviously one of those people who can't be helped or supported. I thought about it last night, and decided that he has some serious mental issues, that none of us are qualified to help him with. It's a serious warning sign when someone is striking out at people that they don't know and who haven't done anything to them. Like JaneyGirl said, the positive is that he can't impact or hurt us. When or if he posts again, unless it is an apology, just skip over him and don't read his ridiculous insults.

All of us have asked him more than once what he is trying to accomplish here, but haven't received any sort of answer. I remember MtnGrl, you, Janey, Smalls, and many others reaching out to him, trying to figure out what he needs, so that we could support him. He doesn't want support from us, he doesn't want to be an accepted part of our group, and he doesn't want to attend any support group meetings. He has very serious problems and I'm glad our personal information isn't available to people like him. We all care about you and we want him to leave you alone. The only way I can see, is that when he posts, don't even read it.

I just did a post to rainbowflowers saying about the same thing you just posted. For some reason they are holding it for review.

rainbowflowers,
I just sent a post to you that is being held for review. It really annoys me when I feel that what I was saying to you was very important and for reasons unknown, they hold it. Please watch for it OK? You are a very important part of our group and you need to ignore him and not even read what he posts. Just skip over it.

Oh my goodness!! They are now holding my post that says "they are holding my pervious post". How silly is that?

REPLY

I've said this before and I still don't understand. With no curse words, no website information, nothing out of norm, why are my posts being held? Also, how long does it take to read and release, it's been long enough to have been reviewed, so why isn't it appearing. It's sort of useless to be released tomorrow or hours from now. When everyone is posting, it gets lost because people don't page back, because they have no idea that something else was posted.

rainbowflowers,
I'm going to post this again, because they are holding the previous one.
You don't need to go anywhere. You are an important part of our group and you do not deserve to be insulted by jetmech2. He needs to be ignored.
He has some sort of serious mental issues that none of us are qualified to help him with. Like JaneyGirl said, the positive is that he can't do anything to us. It is nice to know our personal information is protected.
And I think MtnGrl is right too, he's loving it cause he's getting all this attention. I told him that he reminds me of a child that would rather get a spanking than be ignored LOL.

I've only been here several months and you are so right. I have settled here because it isn't a group looking for drugs. There is real support and understanding. Suggestions, caring and all around good stuff. I've received lots of great information to help me with pain management. Not the "does it show in your urine" silliness LOL

Alright gang :) I was hoping 2015 was going to be lots better than 2014 with all these stupid new ailments. Couple days ago I got a pimple on my shoulder, that pimple has now become a huge red spot with blistered skin all over it, and the worse part, it isn't only one now. It has spread within a 48 hour period to dozens of these on my back and it's moving to my chest. Some are now as large as a half dollar. Naturally I will be calling my doctor's office first thing in the morning LOL It looks like something a five year old child would get.

Hello, i came across a post of yours a while back and i am looking for references regarding my situation. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you. I actually found a Dr. who has been helping me. But I will keep this one as a backup FOR SURE. He really just asks you what works for you and writes it? Do you know what sort of amounts? And so I take it they don't accept insurance because of how much it costs huh?

Susie... If your doc can't get you in tomorrow, go to an urgent care... Yikes!!! Praying that it's nothing serious.

CO Susie, if this site is like others they don't have Moderators on 24/7, they come on when they can and spend as much time as they can. That means that there may be large time frames when a Mod isn't here, although you never know when they could drop in. That is why it may take a while for posts the require reviews to be posted.

Susie that sounds like shingles. I hope it's not! Please keep us posted.

I absolutely love this board and have always referred to it as a support group. It may function as something else for many, but this group has made it something special. Rainbow, you're a big part of that, I hope you have no intention of leaving. We need you.

Sorry to hear of your problem, I( also suffer from back pain, gout and have had vertebral fractures. Strangely enough, some alternative therapies have helped--not cured--me, and I have decreased my intake of painkillers. I put a big chunk of raw fresh ginger in a cup of natural tart cherry juice, and a spoon of turmeric --Indian spice--powder in a blender. I do get noticeable relief. I take this twice a day and the pain is quite bearable and less intense. I also do TAi chi and Yoga, and usae an electric hand massager and apply all the balms I can get at a pharmacy. Ayurveda--Indian medicine has many such remedies. Its worth a try, it does not interfere with any medications.

I have a friend who has suffered with gout for many years. She uses a Black Cherry extract that she gets at GNC. She swears it works wonders with easing the gout. Main thing is she has to watch her diet. Items like tomatoes cause her gout to act up.

My friends,
I hope it isn't shingles !! I thought I had a vaccine a few years back, but now wonder if it worked. I'll let you know what's up with this. Just crazy ailments!!

CO Susie

Re your friend with gout -- does the black cherry extract taken internally or applied? I also heard that using the broth from black beans works- just soak a good curlex bandage in the broth and wrap it around - or a bunch or surgical sponges, preferably I woven and then apply them . He is also facing knee replacement surgery (and has gout in BOTh) knees) but wants to lose weight before he does it- and excercise is so hard with the knee injury ....... I will pass the info along ....
