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!!!!!
OMG, I can totally relate. I have all the same issues. The pain gets so bad that I asked my Kaiser doctor to admit me to the psych ward so I could not hurt myself. The only place I have found that prescribes actual pain medication is Colorado Pain Relief in Wheat Ridge, but it is expensive and they do not take any Insc or Medicaid. Cash only and they just raised their prices. Lots of hoops to jump through, but not so much pain.
I think that kind of info is on tha bottom of there web page cuz if u put numbers on they hold the message until they approve it 2 put it on
How do you talk on here privately ? I give my permission for the group to have my email .
Try kaiser I go there or call the rocky mountain internal medicaine my husband goes to rocky and he pays $90 a visit cuz he has no insurance but call 1st he hasnt gone in 2months so they cld have gone up kaiser I do believe takes alot of different insurance call them as well
Does anyone know of a doctor that accepts insurance that is like CPR, this is starting to get really expensive and they gave me Oxy IR & OxyContin even though I told them OxyContin was not covered by insurance....so I'm paying to see the doctor AND out of pocket for the OxyContin.
I am open to trying alternatives but was not offered them. I saw Dr. May for the first time last visit and he was the one who did not offer alternatives....
I like CPR but I'm paying nearly $500 a month now when you add everything up :/
That all we need some a** hole deciding how much medicine cures all. I bet if his family was sick we wouldn't be in this mess. And of course you can contact me, I'm not sure how.
Wendy, I'd like to speak with u privately if u wouldn't mind! But to the whole group here, I've heard from multiple providers and pharmacists that Hickenlooper is trying to make a law that no one can take 120 mg of ANYTHING per day! The doc's r freaked and we should b also! I suggest everyone in this group either calls or writes him! Is it a Democracy when doc's aren't allowed to practice medicine? I was told the max of MS would b dropped to a max of three sixty mg MS per the "encouragement" of the DEA! Please everyone write, call and demand that he walks a day in our lives and then he can determine what is appropriate or not! Please guys write! And Wendy, I'm a strong supporter of marijuana! I've seen it work miracles on friends of mine with cancer! It would b nice to have another option rather than just dispensaries! I'm shocked that the PA at CPR told someone that it was either the pot or the meds! Many people need the pot to tolerate the meds! I encourage everyone to give CPR feedback also on the dosage issues and why pot is tested for and is as legal as Motrin! The whole situation stinks! I've dropped my dosages down by well over a half, which anyone who did this will understand that it was twelve months of slight withdrawal! Not fun!
Why cant they go higher then the 20mg I wld of thought they did im sorry 2 hear that its nt easy 2 switch from dr 2 dr like some ppl think it is. Did u try kasier were dr ryan is at?
No rainbow they do not .
Oh ok I see yea im stil on just percocet from kaiser cuz I tried the methadone and was in tha hospital for 2 days cuz of the reaction I had but it was worse then the 1 I had from morphine. Does CPR except medicaid?
The clinic cant write higher than 20 mg of Er oxycotin per 12 hr new policy .I'm on 40 mg every 12 hr .She could write a letter for me but I would be without meds waiting for approval.
Hey wendy werent u seein tha pa Teresa at rocky mt that took over for dr ryan? I just saw your post of you goin 2 CPR
Shan who are you speaking of ?
Looks like I'm headed to cpr jezz can I stay somewhere .
Thank you for the advice. I've been here almost 2 weeks now, so I've got to get something set up. I don't know a single soul here so, I can't ask any friends for advice because, I have none here. Lol Thank you again.
YOU are the "dope fiend" Why do you judge others when you take anything at all? In fact, you dont know what is wrong with these people and if you have ever had real pain, you wouldnt be so negative. Good luck with your issues!
Sorry Nikki, can't you go to the Er for at least some releaf? I'm on medicade and our only option is pay clinic .I'm sorry but maybe it's me if your already on medicade it's because your either poor or Noone else can insure u so you should n't have to pay .There should be a place for us to go and if people mess up than their out , but for ones that follow like solider s leave us the he'll alone
Sorry i need to vent a little bit. I havent been online in awhile. I have had my second microdiscectomies in 1 year. I have a pain mgt dr who doesnt write pain meds to me. He perfers doing injections, wich use to work but not anymore. Right now Im crying myself to sleep every night, and the pain wakes me up every night. Im at my wits end. I screwed myself by getting off the meds. I took myself off cause i wanted to see if the pain was getting better, i was put on Suboxone for the withdrawls. Now i cant find anyone to write anything for me. My sciatic nerve pain is out of control. Starts in my butt and goes all the way to my heel, now my other leg is starting. Thats just my back, you would be shocked if you saw my records. Im literally falling apart. They keep checking me for Lupus and other auto immune diseases. I have recentlly started smoking a hit here and there of pot. It use to give me panic attacks but now its not too bad. If the DEA start checking people for pot theres going to be alot of people upset about having to make the choice of which one they want. I have looked back thru the comments looking for answers about which drs do what. Its hard to find someone who accepts my Medicaid ins. I dont have the money to pay out of pocket. Hopefully i can finally feel normal again soon.
We been doing this for 20 years for my brain tumor .The market flooded with pot flippers out for a buck .Problem is they dont have any clue what part of the plant does what and when to cross breed for maximum relief. Janeiro, someone like yourself has to be careful what you smoke eat .You need plants rich in Cbd / R4.Stay out of dispensaries the quality is crap thc is 15/21 CL are many people that buy from. dispensary and resale to u at a higher price .I can help you find thee exact strain combo that will do healing miricles. {edited for privacy}. We are license by the state .We offer care giving, one on one education to genetics of MJ. Monthly get together.
They reason you have to choose smoke or pain pills is because it hits the same pain receptors. You can use MJ topically and the pain clinics will not care.
