Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 256)

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!!!!!
Im nt sure on the judemental.It wasnt me.im nt 100% sure abiut the mess.i do know my dr kept changin my meds cuz they didnt wk.
THE highest i got was 20 of straight percocet 3 times aday but it i didny like it so i went bck 2 percks mixed with tylenol.Like said b4 they do what works 4 you nt them.U could make a apt just 2 see Just take all paperwk you have.its person is different and what works 4 one person doesnt work for another is what my doctors says. He very understanding compassionate and listens.i still go every week or every 2 weeks just to get my pain under control.
Rainbow, I used to be quite involved with this group until there were some that were truly doing inappropriate and questionable practices such as asking for Emails to purchase medications! Being a health care professional both Mac and Tam have always kept this forum as one of kindness and never have been found to be judgemental! I find your allegations without reason and as an adult, you owe these good people apologies! We all have difficult times and perhaps you were having one! Regardless, I would encourage you to read through the posts as I have and please show me what you consider judgemental! You won't find a finer group!
And also I'm switching from fentanyl to methadone 30mg 4 times a day next month.
No I actually didn't Rainbow. Why? I'm prescribed quite a bit for my age and I don't want to cancel the contract with my doc unless I would still be written at least the same amount. I'm on fentanyl 100mcg every 48 hours and 4 30mg oxycodone a day for breakthrough. Does that sound like something they would do? And good, would you please tell me who you are saying is being judgmental.
And GoodGirlToo would u mind passing your list of 5 onto me by chance? Would much appreciate it! Thank you!!
Hey mac686 u ever look up rocky mt clinic
Thanks, are there any non pain clinic doctors you or anyone could recommend?
Read thru the thread and you'll see the information about Corso pain relief or other places. There is a lot of info on here you just have to take the time to read through them.
Hi I am new on here, been to a few doctors for my situation & I understand how it looks like I am dr hopping but I am not, at least not trying to. I just am having a hard time finding something that will help my pain, It's not back pain, a exploded breat implant that has caused a ton of scar tissue and nerve issues, and it's considered elective to have it taken out so I am saving up for the surgery but wont be able to have it until next year. For now I just need pain regulation until I can have surgery. I'm not some druggie, just in never ending pain that's honestly ruining my life. If you could let me know of some doctors that are understanding and able to perscribe pain care for no more than a year please please let me know!! Thank you so much
Good girl too who was that directed too???
Goodgirltoo we are not here to judge we are trying to help people, sorry if you took offense to anything said. We have posted a good doc on here to help people and sorry to say but if the DEA came in and started invesigating docs and seen a patient was only getting high doses of pain meds and not doing anything else but getting pain meds then its a little questionable to them especially in colorado where they are coming down hard on docs and making a lot more rules and regulations. Believe me physical therapy is not making me better but does keep me active. Before you judge that we are saying anyone is a addict look at what you say to others because you are right karma will come back to bite you, and read this whole forum and you will see we are helping people to find compationate docs so if you want to help with your contacts then great but if you just want to put us down then go somewhere else.
I know 5 doctors who prescribe high dose pain meds but because you have SUCH a judgmental attitude towards people who abuse them - you're karma will remain the same....no good dr. comin your way anytime soon. You should focus on YOUR OWN "NEED" for them and quit judging others you don't even know or how they became addicted...Oh that's right, but you're not. lmao.
Hi- Interwest Rehabilitation-303-738-1900
Despite the name, Dr. Peregine has been excellent pain doc and I have seen it all after 10+ years of intractable low back pain! I am having laser surgery next week-fingers crossed-hope to be pain free soon!
If u are interested in relief check out northamericanspine.com
Then make sure you get a colorado I.d before you go to any clinic just got told that thursday. Dea is making even more rules even though H is now what addicts are going back to since they can't get pills.
Tammy, not military. My husband got a job promotion that has us moving here.
Tammy I completely agree. if you truly have chronic pain and aren't willing to do physical therapy then you're a fool. Professional athletes HAVE to get physical therapy when they're injured if they ever want to play again.
If u dnt have a doctor go 2 rocky moutian internal medicine. They are at 4896 chambers in denver. They are worth the drive
I'm having a difficult time as well. Got hurt back in 07, on the job. Developed whole body RSD/CRPS. Workman's comp ordered to pay for my medical, for life. It seems I have the plague. I'm on very minimal meds as I hate them but I need them. I just figured since I can't work anymore that I'd relocate here to eagle, Colo to spend time with my 80 year old mother, while I can. Just wish I could be seen. To make it worse, I believe I may have broken my strong foot. When it rains, it pours.
Dnt worry u wil be fine. My doctor is excellent he does what is best 4 u and will keepin change meds til u find 1 that works 4 u.
