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!!!!!
U are so welcome! A Mac says, that's why we r here, to support one another! I'm glad things worked out for u! Have a Happy Holiday Season and take care!
Thanks again mac much love 2 u as well and happy holidays 2 u and them same for all of u here. I planed on tellin my doctor but my fear was of him letting me go is all and he hugged me and since i been honest wit him from day 1 we are good cuz thats all i had wete hospitals til i got insurance then it just took a few 2 find him..But wit out u or janeygirl idk wat i wld had dne. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!
We got ya! ;) That's what we are here for is to help in any way we can.... Much love and I'm glad it all worked out. If the doctor is kind and understanding and is told up front they usually don't have a problem with things like that. But when you don't tell them they feel like you're hiding it for a reason, and that causes a loss of trust and possibly being discharged. But I hope you have a great Christmas and New Year's Eve and I hope they are as pain free as possible! :) Much love to everyone on here and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!
Thanks again i was just so worried it took me 4ever 2 find a pain management doctor u say anythung if pain meds i wld literally get a door shut in my face and now i dnt plan on doin anything 2 screw that up ever most doctors say its cuz of tha ppl who abuse tha meds just 2 feel high and dnt really need them. My doctor was happy just by tellib tha truth so thanks again
U r welcome! Honesty is by far the best policy! Things do happen! Unless it happens too often, most Dr's do understand! I'm glad u didn't loose your Dr and glad things worked out. Take care!
So mac686 and janeygirl thank u im still good with my doctor cuz i was honest 2 er doc and my doc this morning he stil my doctor thanks again
Ya I did read it. That's actually what I responded to.... That's essentially my opinion. I think you'll be ok as long as you're honest and tell them before they pull it up on your file. But as long as you're honest and you TRULY needed to go to the ER and it wasn't just for meds then I couldn't see there being a problem.....
I agree with Mac! Make sure u take your paperwork, n honest, they will check to c what meds u got, always a good idea to warn them first! U shouldn't have any issue if u r honest and it isn't a constant issue! Let them know also that they tried to get in touch with them! Answering services aren't that great at reporting! U should b fine!
Ok thanks and did u read what all me and tammy said i wld like ur opinion thanks
Ok thanks if u wanna we thru wat me and tammy talked about ur input wld help 2 and thanks again
Monica try Unified Health Group in Arvada. They are amazing and caring. They keep out the drug seekers and will take care of you as long as you are honest.
I think you'll be ok as long as you're up front and honest. If it was necessary then there shouldn't be a problem. I really can't see a good Dr. booting you if you come forward and tell them the truth that you had to go to the ER. I've found no matter what the truth is ALWAYS better than hiding facts.
They did perscribe same pain med im on just a lower dose u think that wil be a issue
They did give me sum lower dose percocet til last til monday u think that wld be a issue
If they left a message with the answering service, u should be fine! I have other issues that sometimes necessitate me being hospitalized! As long as the hospital called, gave me the correct paperwork and didn't prescribe narcotics, they wasn't any issue! It still makes u nervous, I understand and I don't recommend going often but with your issues they should understand! Good luck!
I see my dr monday and when i was at the er i told them i was on pain management and i told them why but the er knows my history of ovarian cyst n fibrois we are doin a hysterectomy n im only 36 but er said they tried 2 get a hold of my dr office bu callin tha dr line and cldnt get thru they gave me all my paperwork that i need for monday.Now my pain management dr has stated if i need the er go but im still scared of being booted and my pain management knows of my history of womaly issue im close with my dr i cry alot with him just wit life issues and he listen
You need to call tomorrow and let them know especially if you got a pain med shot or anything so u don't get booted.
Hey MAC686 need 2 ask u for ur help on this i was in the er for extreme pain from my womanly issue i only take percocet thru my pain management dr but do i tell him i went or no i read thru tha forum and say sum1 got tha boot from their dr cuz they check out another....what shld i do im really worried
Hey rainbow flowers.no not yet.ive been talking to my old pain doc.he been trying to open up shop again but has had problems with there system.he said to try to be patient.he was my dr.for 3yrs down here ,gave me my life back.but it's been frustrating waiting.the drs.here in grand junction,do not believe in pain managment.they help u all day as long as it's not chronic pain.its so frustrating.but the pain I have is getting the best of me.dont know if I should call other places or wait for my old doc.i just don't want to waste my time and money.and if another dr. calls me a addict I'm gonna loose it.im not and addict ,sure I know my body and brain have probably become addicted .pain meds and pain I'm sure changes Ur brain chemistry.ive detoxed,so I know my body was addicted.but I won't steal for meds,hurt someone,do anything to get them.u get my drift. i just want to be able to live my life a little comfortable.not to much to ask? or maybe it is?
U are welcome, they really do understand how bad pain can be and how it effects your life so they want you happy and as normal as possible. We might have ran into each other but probably best to not have a face to the name but when is ur next appt? Maybe if u say a keyword that u make up here and one of us are there we can come over and talk a little. Happy pain free thanksgiving to everyone.
