Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 19)
(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!!!!!

Chaos, how you doing? Did Dr Lincoln keep you on the same amount of your IR med or is he allowing you 2 take an extra 1 when you have PT appts.? See that's just another good point about Lincoln, he said call him so you don't run out cuz he cares. He wants to know all of us at our own personal levels... He is just awesome. Have a good day, take care and I'm glad we're friends.

Confused Dr Lincoln is quite busy I wldnt worry if they don't answer sometimes they have issues with internet phones....Dr Lincoln is a very well respected Dr he puts up with no cramp and has no issues with the DEA he follows the rules and cleans out his office with seekers on a daily basis he is very kind understanding and listens he does nt walk in the room and 3 mins walks out he wants to hear how you are how your meds are working and doesn't walk out the room till you are done asking questions or concerns he does not rush you out at all....Best of luck have a good day

Looks like phone problems solved with Mr Lincoln, no message on website today.
Chaos, maybe yr boyfriend and my roomie should drown their sorrows together. I hate how pain makes me act!
We need to find a nice affordable hot springs to move to and convince mr Lincoln to move down there with us!

Having two wonderful pain free days, I think I like this long acting med. I am so grateful I am on a lower dosage than everyone here. My heart goes out to you all since I can't begin to imagine the pain you must be in!!
Stay strong, enjoy the warm weather and sunshine!

Hi my dear friends,
I have been trying to call Mr. Lincoln to change my appointment time and both Monday and Tuesday my call went to voicemail. Does anyone know if It is a technical issue, as it states on their website? Or could it be something else, as I had gone through this before at CPR.
Please share if anyone knows.
TIA.

Chaos, Lincoln went well. I am always amazed when I see doses here that I have a problem with a gp writing my script,we did go to an extended release 15 mg every 12 hours,then halved the dilaudid - on an equivalent I'm under 50 , which is OK under every guideline but I guess gp would rather I was disabled than be happy and working

Chaos I am able to provide you with information on mental health services for Medicare/Medicaid patients. It is called community reach they have locations around front range. It takes quite a while to get started unless you walk into the crisis center
Also Colorado crisis services offers 24 hours walk in services for mental health this will fast track you so you won't have to wait for months to talk to doctor. There are therapist and then there are doctors so I believe protocol is therapist first then doctor. Hope this helps
844-493-TALK for Colorado crisis services they could direct you to others ,#s if you don't want to google. Sorry I haven't posted in months and my browser forgot my stored log ins so my name's a little different on here now

KRISTY,
I'M SURE IF YOUR SO BLESSED THEN YOU'D BE WILLING TO SHARE THE NAME OF YOUR DOCTOR SO OTHERS LESS FORTUNATE COULD FIND LONG SOUGHT AFTER PAIN RELIEF.
Can you kindly share that with us???

well thank you very much. My (family) doc is pretty emphatic. I'm pretty sure he will give me till the end of the summer to find a PMC that will help. I am concerned that if I go to Doctor A, and don't like his suggestions/actions, that I will have to go to Doctor B, and well, you get the idea. Certainly that's not "Doctor Shopping", because I'm not trying to get MORE THAN ONE SCRIPT, but the optics are not good. Let's just hope that Doctor A, understands my condition, reads all my support docs and comes to the same conclusion where I'm at with this.

Jane Doe, yes my b/f who lives in springs, was considering that however, I do smoke half of a spliff at night so Idk what other pm will let me do that. I'm reporting on my visit with Lincoln. I brought my poor sex deprived b/f with me today, I let him tell Lincoln how I have been cussing him out - yes being a straight A hole to him. He advocated for me as he's never seen me in this condition. I told DR. I've been out of meds 2-3 days. He said next time call him before I run out. He won't charge me extra if I had to come in. Yes I felt relieved. So he offered the patch Fentanyl, been there didn't stay on, just didn't work. We decided on going from 60 Ms Contin every 8 hrs to oxy ER 40 every 12 hours. I also got to the bottom of the ? @ how many mgs the state is going to allow, right now it is 300 mg. So I said doc what's up with the 120 morphine equivalent? Idk Medicaids laws as I am on Medicare Humana, which I'm very unhappy with, they denied to pay for u/a. So I leave Dr office to go to my independent pharmacy, they're closing down. Grrr, so I ended up at Costco and a denial in payment for oxy ER....what I also found out is they do not have name brand oxy, not even opana, but I guess the o.g. formula, so I guess it must not have the abuse deterrent. Well I'm waiting on prior authorization. Which Lincoln's staff is very prompt. I still have to wait to pick it up. I was able to get my IR and klonopin.
However, yes I am doing myself almost a disservice, because in a few yrs, yes it is going to go down to the 120 mmg/equivalent.

I'm so thankful to have made it thru last few days of hell. Very happy with outcome of my Dr. Visit., I'm exhausted, I hope I was able to clarify for Rainbow Flowers about the mg max. I was mentioning my b/f and just that because of pain and opiates I have no libido. He is just a really good guy, but had just not seen me such a mess. I'm a peaceful God Loving, person. Also the mg equivalent is for non cancer patients. Thank you all Lucy, Jane Doe, rainbow, you are my friends my only friends, really. Thanks for all replies and help. For your knee Jane Doe, I will try anything that helps. Including chiro care I pay for The joint is very good. I recommend, if I can help anyone I will. I hope you all are having a semi pain free day. Feeling 70% today in Aurora-Chaos.

Chaos, sorry to hear you are hurting! For knees, I actually gave in and bought blue emu oil! It works very well! I am in same situation you are in. I hate that my life involves, today I really hurt , should I take one more knowing that means a short day sometime later. I may ask for a slight bump up or for a long lasting med which I have never done this week. Will let you know, also was planning on trying kratam will keep you posted.
Can you afford the hot springs?

Terry,

Get all your files, recent MRI and call Colorado Pain Relief in Wheat Ridge. They understand and can / will help. Do not have anything other than your meds in your stomach. They test every month and often do pill counts and random U/A's. They will weed out any seekers!
