Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 253)

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!!!!!

@Kristy,

It is required by law for companies to state that kratom is not for human consumption. The FDA mandates it or these companies risk being shut down. However, anyone who’s taken kratom regularly (including myself) is aware that this is propaganda.

I believe kratom and cannabis could take down the pharmaceutical industry if mainstream media told the truth.

"Kwikbotanicals" has been my go to retailer from the start and I've never been let down by their maeng da green, green borneo and red bali.

Kristy,

There are places in Denver where you can buy Kratom. My hubby bought me several strains and I'm trying them out for pain effectiveness. The biggest issue is learning which dose is the right one for you and I haven't figured that out yet. I got the capsules, though more expensive, I understand the powder tastes awful and I wanted to have a good experience using it, at least to start so I went with capsules.

LASTEXIT,,, HI THERE....
Dex will prescribe me 4 oxy I/Rs a day for breakthrough and I am on fentanyl patches for long-acting. I have been with him for over a year and I appreciate his knowledge and care, While Medicaid keeps insurance for my patch amount and from Day 1 he recommended Methadone but it puts me asleep. Best of luck to you..plz lemme know how it goes and GODSPEED!

The capsules and powder are the same....it all tastes terrible. As for strains....I use either Thai red or Bali red for pain. There is a place in Parker, that sells powder for $5/Oz. It is real...it is pure. I would take 2 to 2.5 grams of powder and mix into orange juice.....or ocean spray cranberry....they cover the taste best!!! The place in Parker is called Parker Pipe and Tobacco. Good luck!

Wendy didn't play anyone:. She gave the info as promised...not one of was forced to go this route, As I've said, I really liked him - it was simply a distance factor that I didn't and how much I like my present dr. But because of the Medicaid factor..I thought it was worth it. And it was worth the UBER ride. Lesson learned, but I know Wendy wanted to provide options. As I've been saying all along...one man's trash is another man's treasure. To each his own.

Hey, thanks Lucy! I'm a fan of methadone as a long-acting med and have been on it a couple of years ago.

How many mgs are breakthroughs? I think that I will give Dex a try and let you know how it goes. Thank you for your helpful information!

And Scott, I'm glad that Kratom works for you, but it's not strong enough for me. I've ordered it from Indonesia by the kilo and am quite familiar with all of the different strains. I was using up to 40 grams of it per day at one time in place of/supplementing my pain meds, but it tens to be EXTREMELY dehydrating, can impact liver function and lowers the seizure threshold. That's nice that it works for you, but everyone is different.

I mean well but like I said, if it's to good to be true it is. I just wish I knew what I was getting my self in, and since I've been going to this new doctor, all he is is putting me on are things that don't work. Extended release does not work for me and the shot he gave me worsens when it goes away. I had injections that helped long ago when that first came out. It hurt me like hell. My doc said no more if it's just putting you in pain, so now it's my liver and kidneys that the extended release oxycontin I'm on is making me dehydrated. All the d iv meicine hurt my stomach or liver. I've been on meds since 15, my first accident, and I almost died ... and not to mention my 3 other accidents I survived with a back injury, so some things just don't agree, that's why I was on 30 mg oxycodone and 15 mg for break through pain. I was ok, now these new laws are so freaking dumb. Like if that worked for me, why not keep me on it? So now I go back in and it be some more extra bs, but I'm willing to work with him. Just don't like when a doctor doesn't look at your records to see what works and what doesn't. I hope you're all doing well and I miss being able to help you.

Lucy, I thank you but what Wendy didn't say is that you need a referral to this place. My doc daid no it's just a pill mill (which it's not). I had paid extra money to get that going so she's full of it, and if so why not tell me I need that so I could get it? But anyways I'm ok and doctors shopping in medical records is not good outlook, so I have to stay with him for a while. But I'm so mad at Wendy. No call back or at least plz refund me. It's not fair and she thinks it's funny not to return my calls. Don't trust her Lucy, she told me things about you which to me was not cute or funny.

Thats a lot of Methadone, I would be careful I have seen many people overdose and pass away from methadone, I am trying to get off of it because they say now its not as good for you as originally thought. You may want to have your doc prescribe narcan (Naloxone) for you so if you do OD by accident you can have someone use that on you .

CRYING SHAME...

Just so you know since Day 1 of the Internet I was in hi-tech and learned that ANYTHING put on the internet will be there forever, deleted or not and I keep that in mind on here too. Anyway, I cant speak for you or Wendy but she told me about the referral and in fact, when I called Dr. R....they would not make an appt for me until I had the referral. I don't have a PCP anymore..its on my list of to dos..but Dr. Smith did provide me with a referral.I am sorry for what you are going thru..I guess that why I pay 160/mo to stay with Dex. My appt with him is in 2 wks and I only have half the fee. I have a few clients who I've invoiced but there is no guarantee I will have the money in time. But as stressful as this is..I do it because I like Dex and he believes me as to what works and what doesnt. Dr. R. wanted to lower my doses to a point I didn't think would work for me. As a bookkeeper and tax preparer these next few months are booked and I literally can not be bed ridden which would happen if I lowered my doses. As for worrying about Dr. Shopping...I left a few providers after 1 or 2 months because they insisted on putting me on meds like suboxone which is NOT a pain reliever. Just don't fill 2 different scripts in the same month. I wish you well and if I can help in anyway lemme know. Did your hubby go back to Dex?

LUCY,

I am interested in seeing Dr Dex, but it appears (via Google) that he is a "withdrawal" Dr only- is that true? I currently have a rheumatologist that I see, but he is extremely conservative, and my chronic disease is only getting worse. I need a Dr who can empathize with me and treat my pain accordingly. All I do is text/call him? It sounds too good to be true. Any more details would be so greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Cecei you are a liar. You paid a hundred. You went to my guy, told him want you wanted, he looked up your records and saw issues. I told you to get pain reference from Denver Health, your old place. You couldn't because they dropped you, and i wont embarrass you by telling everyone why. Lucy got her meds, I get mine, Phoenix got hers. You can't go to a new doc and tell him what to prescribe you. It goes by records and notes. If you would have told me you were black balled from narcotics i wouldn't have referred you. Don't ruin my name because you cant be honest.

REPLY

Wendy what does black balled mean...Like being red flag so you can't get them...I'm sorry for feeling sorry for her there is always 2 sides to every story. Everyone knows the main rule of pain management is don't go in telling your new Dr what u want, and every1 knows they check your name in the monitoring drug program and bring or get ur most updated records... Just be careful now so she doesn't go into ur Dr lying on u so u get in trouble. You tried to help but if ppl messed up at 1 Dr then that Dr is not going give what u want anyway.

Wendy's a conman, that's all that's it. So you never said I need a referral or anything, but told me after you took my money that you'd even come get me. And I don't have anything bad in my records at all. It said that they're not comfortable giving me my same thing cause they're not a pain management clinic. And fyi you told me {edited for privacy} couldn't go there cause she has drugs in her system and he told her not to come back, and further more you told a BIG FAT LIE. IF ANYONE WANTS THE DOCS NAME I'LL GIVE FOR FREE. NOW YOU TALK BIG ON HERE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE EVEN DOING THIS. PAYING FOR INFO TO A DOC WHO COULD CARE LESS AND I'M STAYING WITH HIM BECAUSE I DON'T AND CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER ONE. MY DOC WALKED OUT ON ME, BUT YOU'RE A LIAR AND A FRAUD TAKING PEOPLES' MONEY TO GAIN. I'M GLAD THIS SITE ISN'T GONNA LET YOUR FAT POCKETS FILL UP. AND YOU HELPED ME? S***, NO YOU DIDN'T. I HELPED MYSELF. I'M DONE. ANYONE WANT THE DOCTORS NAME? I WON'T CHARGE FOR IT CAUSE ALL I WANT IS TO FEEL GOOD, BUT YOU DO NEED A REFERRAL.

@SCOTT

SO IF I WANTED TO TRY KRATOM, WHERE IN THE DENVER METRO AREA COULD I GO TO PURCHASE TABLETS? I'M NOT MUCH FOR POWDERS, ESPECIALLY IF THEY TASTE BAD. ...I DON'T WANT MY FIRST EXPERIENCE TO BE SPEWED ALL OVER. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO TRY A SMALL ABOUT BEFORE I MAKE A BIG PURCHASE.

@CECEI

I'M SORRY THAT YOU HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE BUT PAYING FOR INFO ALMOST NEVER ENDS WELL. BY THE LOOKS OF IT, THIS HAS TURNED INTO A MUD SLINGING CONTEST AND I WOULDN'T PARTICIPATE. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY DR. THAT WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU ASK FOR .....UNLESS YOU HAVE YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS FOR HIM/HER TO LOOK AT. MY DR. RECEIVED MY RECORDS AFTER HE GAVE ME MY FIRST SCRIPT BUT HE ALSO PULLED UP MY RECORDS FROM THE DEA SITE, SHOWING THAT I DON'T FILL EARLY...I HAVE BEEN ON THE SAME MEDS FOR 3 YEARS AND HAD BEEN WITH THE SAME DR FOR THE SAME LENGTH OF TIME. ..SO THAT WORKED IN MY FAVOR. I WISH YOU LUCK IN YOUR SEARCH FOR YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND.

OH...AND PS @CECEI

IF THAT DR IS SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFO WITH OTHER PEOPLE. ..I WOULD DEFINITELY LOOK INTO WHAT THEY CAN DO LEGALLY. IT'S AGAINST THE LAW AND THE HIPAA AGREEMENT THAT THEY SWEAR TO UPHOLD. ...I WOULD BE TAKING SCREEN SHOTS OF POSTS AND KEEPING RECORD. ...JUST AN FYI

Cecei you were told like everyone u need pain referral. U lied to tom and I. Even your post u lied saying u needed it for your mom to get out of hospital. We meet and u tell me some crazy story. You got what u paid for, a real doctor. Now if u would have told me the truth i wouldn't of even given you his number. My doctor goes by DEA guidelines. You're not getting two instant relief, u get one long acting and three breakthrough a day. That's medicade. And the shots do help and its part of therapy. I'm mad u posted so much lies. Don't ever tell my friends i ripped u off. You screwed yourself by leaving out that Denver health discharged you for {edited for privacy}. No doctor by law can help you.

Wow, what has happened to our forum? At this point, let's start over. Let's talk about how to help one another, our pain levels will all be going down within the next 4 months due to weather change and we can all focus on the future. We all have SOMETHING in our lives to be grateful for. Why don't we ALL list something positive that we are grateful for. List as many things as you like, just stay positive.
