Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 177)
(Newest replies first)

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!!!!!

Hi all. How is everyone? I haven't been feeling well. Does anyone else have problems with pain meds causing really severe nausea? I can't take a single pain pill without having to take nausea meds with it, and if I don't take nausea meds (like zofran) I can't take the pain pill at all because it will make me so sick that I'll just throw it up and get bad stomach pain. Even taking zofran, I still get nauseous... and it's severe enough to where I have to lay down and just take tiny bites of crackers and sip gingerale. It's awful. I'm so miserable. So even if I get my pain under control, it's like I'm just trading it off for nausea... basically feeling like I have a horrible case of the flu. I'm just wondering if any of you have this problem or know of someone that does, and if so, if you know of ways to help combat it? It's the same when I've been in the hospital and they give me iv pain meds, they have to give me zofran and another nausea med. I've been suffering and today has been a really rough day for me so far with severe pain and nausea since 4am and it's exhausting. I hope you all are well!

Hi Bill. I have a feeling we'd recognize one another as DPM patients waiting in the lobby. I was a patient there for an extended time, too.

I'm curious, when did Dr Benoist leave DPM? Did others leave with him?

Thanks.

Bill, I'm glad you've found relief from much of your pain.

Hate to tell you this, but I'm familiar with DPM, as you are. Jason Montgomery is a Physician Assistant, a PA-C, not a doctor. Don't take my word for it. Look at the public records for doctors at the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies called DORA. This houses medical board licensing, sanctions etc with lots of information. I think you'll be surprised.

JM had a huge problem in Indiana. He was practicing medicine without a license or degree. That's on Indiana's equivalant of DORA.

Every pain patient might consider checking your doctors through DORA Colorado.

Bill, I wish you only the best. I like a phrase written by someone on this forum, but I don't know it exactly. Anyway it's something like this "may your pain be a 2 or lower, on the pain scale each day".

Pain is worse than the pits!

Yes Denver Pain Management prescribes Butrans (buprenorphine) 10mcg/hour patches for me. They work great and last seven days.I also receive 210, 10 mg Narco's each month. The combination of both drugs do not make my pain go away but it does make it tolerable. So I can go about my daily activities, and be somewhat functional. I've been going to Denver Pain Management for about five years. Recently, the doctor. I normally see has quit. They have a new Dr. Jason Montgomery, who is not as good as Dr. Benoit, but I'm still able to get the medications I not only have extensive spinal fusions, but I also have BAC, and my right lung. Rose Medical Center removed to tumors from my lungs. The first week of March 2014. Dr. Benoit was a great doctor and I wish I knew where he moved to.

Bill DPM prescribed Butrans patches for you?! Last I knew, no one at DPM was certified to prescribe anything but Suboxone tablets which are pretty ineffective for pain. Butrans-Suboxone prescribers are a unique bunch, usually psychiatrists and highly trained pain management doctors.

Hi, Wendy! Just for the record, I thought it was the woman whose name started with an A. So, if you happened to change your name one day and come on as her (ha!), then I sincerely do apologize :)
I know I'm "no one" in the long chat that you guys have had, but I do feel for each of you. I have some undiagnosible back issue that people have been poking at for three years... With a husband and two little children, that means a daily struggle and then a nightly one because I don't sleep much. I'm sure you each can identify with being on the edge of "losing it".... And that's where I am.
Mr. S is the FIRST person to listen to what my symptoms are and TALK to me about trying to figure out what's going on. I think I would be devastated if he suddenly let me go... I wouldn't know where to turn.
Not in a weird way, but I think of each of you in my day and say prayers for comfort, strength, and peace.

Wendy I have to apologize to you because I was suspicious of you because you knew so much about how many people had left CPR and how quickly, etc.
I realize you are no different than me, just trying to survive and deal with the pain, so my apologies to you!
