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!!!!!

I am grateful that I am able to walk. Wasn't long ago, I couldn't. I saw a man in a wheelchair and he just look miserable. I started realizing that even though I am in pain, I can walk! I am grateful to have a home, I saw a woman downtown try to go into a fast food place to try and get warm and after about 2 min, they made her leave. I am grateful to have a loving, supportive family, they keep me going! I am grateful for Colorado Pain Relief, they have been there for me for years.

Admin, you stated earlier that people would be blocked in certain instances. Wow, sounds like we need to hear the rules again. I didn't understand why Wendy, or fed up or original Wendy would ask for a fee for a doctor's name. I was willing to give the benefit but now it's sounds like more. I sincerely hope someone wouldn't lie about a person trying to take their life. When we say we are concerned about our docs, it is because we want to protect them from drug seekers etc! I feel for anyone addicted, there but for the Grace of GOD, go any of us. Saying that a new doc needs to see old records is reasonable, requiring a special referral, that I don't understand. No regular doc will touch pain anymore which is so sad. If you ask ppl for their hard earned money, and they don't get value, of course they are going to be mad! And at you! Let's see this doc's name or at least enough identifying info to find the doc! That is why we tell folks to read through the posts. If you are at home due to pain, you will do it; looking for a quick high, maybe you won't! I do think anything we can do to decrease our dosages is a good idea, it's only going to get worse. I am going to try hypnotherapy and see what happens.

Kristy, you can google where to buy Kratom capsules in Denver and you should get a list of places that sell them. I got mine at Herbal Dazed at 65th and Federal. There are a ton of places you can get it at.

I have been on opiate for the better part of the last 20 years for thing or another. My problem is that I definitely need them for pain control, but I also enjoy the euphoric feeling a lot. I am also physically deppendet on them. I just just had my right leg amputated below the knee on Aug 2016. Now in really going to be screwed because my Dr is talking about weening me off. I was on 8mg of hydromorphone every 4hours but just dropped me down to 4mg every six. And flat out refuses to give any long lasting meds. My point is just because I like taking opiates doesn't mean I don't need and deserve to take them. I also take xalarto so I can't take any Nsaids for pain.

Hello, sum of you are saying I wasn't in the hospital. Well I was. I had wendy look at the refute. The doc sed I needed a new one witch I had to go to another doctor to get. Again if one doctor don't want you at a pill mill he won't give it. And you saying I lied to get the info is far from a lie. And another thing when I met with wendy she told me she'd go with me to make sure I got the care I needed and paid for ride but then after the money was given I told her I felt she just took advantage of me, promised me to help me get to and from with offers even to give had after the fact I never had nothing bad in my medical record. Only thing was my meds were stolen a long time ago but later recovered. It's in my record. My last doctor just walked out on his job. Denver health was my doctor. So ware did I lie. When I was admitted for trying to commit suicide I didn't want to live with this pain and going tru getting a doctor that judged off the top. So far as me ive never been a drug seeker and if you all feel my pain you understand more about my situation. I can prove it. 15 years of records of my pain. So plz don't judge me. Yes my daughter used my page to find me help. What's wrong with ppl using the system? I never did. Just could never afford to pay 200 or more. Yes wendy was of my help. I don't deny it. But it loops and more loops to go tru. I just thought she would of told me I'd need a referral. I had to suffer for 2 weeks and she never got back to me. Now you all are taking her word for it and label me as a seeker. Wendy seen my papers I had from my last doctor. Need I say more. So who want to see my records and what's in it? I'm never ashamed to see what I been tru. So y'all go a head and judge if you want to. Its a shame when one person labels you as seeker. Don't you think we get enough from having to find a doctor? I'm so upset at sum of you but it's truly ok. I never skipped doc to doc. Now I'm with the doctor. He did put on several different things before I went on my meds I had b4 I seen him. So now I'm doing better for the most part. As for wendy what bad things can you say. I was blue balled. My name was never on anything saying I was a seeker or nothing. The lies ppl tell to gain clout of sumone is crazy. Your just not to be trusted that's all and don't be on here talking tough sweety. Be a woman and not a loser trying to dirt my name on this site. Tell the truth. I have nothing to hide. And as far as me saying anything to the doctor about wendy I'd never do such a thing. Even tho I don't like what happened to me that's not me at all. Yall have a nice day I will.

I get kratom on the Internet, happy hippo herbals. Unfortunately, it's in powder form,, but seems to be most effective. I just mix it with orange juice. I guess it doesn't work for for everyone, but for me it was extremely helpful. God bless everyone here.

Cecei6,

Please enough already... if you can't control your anger or frustration refrain from posting until you can compose yourself. It's not fair to malign or misrepresent the truth because a legit referred provider didn't feel your prior drug regimen was medically indicated in his professional estimation. How is that anyone else's fault?? I just wish we could return to the norms established providing support, assistance, and advice when possible to do so. Hate and innuendo serves no one well...Legit chronic pain sufferers face enough disrespect from the greater community at large when we begin to attack each other then who wins?? NO ONE...Can't we all just get along and return to the days of old. God bless yah all. Peace, Tomas

BRADLY....
IIt is true that Dex has patients that want to get off opiates and he is certified to write things like suboxone. but the other side of his practice is pain management. You go in every other month and each visit requires a UA.

MEDICAID, it was much better when they paid for your meds.Every other month when I go to fill there is ALWAYS a problem. They will require a prior auth and while Dex immediately tries to get a prior auth he is then is denied. We are going to appeal those dictator...was recently deemed disabled by the state. Yet they decide what meds make me functional. Medicaid has an algorythm and regardless of your pain...they basically decide what you can and can not take. Right now, we lowered the meds and finally. I just hate calling the pharmacy and texting Dr. Dex all day to get an update on my meds just to find out I must pay. I am aware other insurance companies are following Medicaid's schedule

Anyway, just call him. You can probably get in this week. If you don't have records he will get them from your previous. The longer you wait the more the new doc will wonder if you really need pain meds.
Let us know how it goes. Godspeed

I use one teaspoon per day of the slow variety. On really bad days I use 2. Everyone is different, and usually takes some expiramentation to find what works. Should dose on an empty stomach.

A good reason to legalize all medications and follow the model in place in Portugal! Why such fear in Canadian and US doctors to prescribe appropriate medication for the medical problems we suffer from.
It seems understandable why people are forced to turn to street drugs in order to get the relief we need. Shame on our weak kneed, ignorant and uninformed doctors we have throughout the medical community in North American. They seem to view every patient as a drug addict. Nonsense. And, because of their attitude, many people continue to suffer. I thought they were to adhere to the edict of "do no harm to patients". Pathetic flush with hypocrisy.

Where from in Texas that's where I just moved from I'm on methadone and I am going to drive to Amarillo to get my methadone until I find a doctor here in Fort Collins.. I guess driving to Denver would be better but with medicare medicaid spinal cord injury and end stage renal disease the problem I have most of the time is the doctors say I've got too many problems I just got turned down by Dr Turner the other day and he's a brain and spine doctor they wouldn't even see me bc they said I've got too much problems I guess I'm gonna have to do just the opposite of what a seeker does and try to walk without a hobble and not tell them all my problems. ....pretty funny.
