Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 258)

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!!!!!

Chaos, Lincoln went well. I am always amazed when I see doses here that I have a problem with a gp writing my script,we did go to an extended release 15 mg every 12 hours,then halved the dilaudid - on an equivalent I'm under 50 , which is OK under every guideline but I guess gp would rather I was disabled than be happy and working

Hi my dear friends,
I have been trying to call Mr. Lincoln to change my appointment time and both Monday and Tuesday my call went to voicemail. Does anyone know if It is a technical issue, as it states on their website? Or could it be something else, as I had gone through this before at CPR.
Please share if anyone knows.
TIA.

Looks like phone problems solved with Mr Lincoln, no message on website today.
Chaos, maybe yr boyfriend and my roomie should drown their sorrows together. I hate how pain makes me act!
We need to find a nice affordable hot springs to move to and convince mr Lincoln to move down there with us!

Having two wonderful pain free days, I think I like this long acting med. I am so grateful I am on a lower dosage than everyone here. My heart goes out to you all since I can't begin to imagine the pain you must be in!!
Stay strong, enjoy the warm weather and sunshine!

Confused Dr Lincoln is quite busy I wldnt worry if they don't answer sometimes they have issues with internet phones....Dr Lincoln is a very well respected Dr he puts up with no cramp and has no issues with the DEA he follows the rules and cleans out his office with seekers on a daily basis he is very kind understanding and listens he does nt walk in the room and 3 mins walks out he wants to hear how you are how your meds are working and doesn't walk out the room till you are done asking questions or concerns he does not rush you out at all....Best of luck have a good day

Chaos, how you doing? Did Dr Lincoln keep you on the same amount of your IR med or is he allowing you 2 take an extra 1 when you have PT appts.? See that's just another good point about Lincoln, he said call him so you don't run out cuz he cares. He wants to know all of us at our own personal levels... He is just awesome. Have a good day, take care and I'm glad we're friends.

Looking for a Kaiser Primary Care Physician in the South Denver area who will prescribe my pain medication. My last doctor just quit Kaiser, and I have gone to see 2 doctors who basically say they don't prescribe any pain meds to anyone who doesn't have cancer.

I was on just 4 x 5mg oxycodone per day for frequent 3rd degree dislocations of my right shoulder and nerve pain down my right arm. It is my dominant hand, and I basically now try not to use it.

I worry that Kaiser is even worse about prescribing pain meds. I just saw a new doctor, had my sling on from shoulder dislocation yesterday; and I asked for percocet, he said he doesn't prescribe to anyone, then he said no to hydrocodone as well. When I asked for Tylenol with Codeine, he thought for a minute and said I think its best you just use two Tylenol every 4 hours.

Well that doesn't do anything for my pain. Anyone know a Kaiser doc in South Denver/Highlands Ranch/Parker that would see the obvious pain that I am in daily. Thanks

I think we are all finding that primary care doctors are just not prescribing pain meds to anyone even if the DEA protocols are followed, it just isn't worth the hassle to them or perhaps management is saying no but none of us have had any luck with a primary care doc!
If you read through the posts, you will find several good pain management clinics. Expect to pay out of pocket about $200 a month. We don't just post their names because someone who is truly in pain will take the time to read the posts, we are super protective of our docs and don't want them flooded with seekers.

Be willing to work with the pain docs, unfortunately by going in and saying you want this or that, docs label you as a seeker. It helps if you say, I am doing pt to build up my strength, checking out surgery,etc etc.. But to just say I need this med and that's it, is going to lad to disappointment.

I am in Oklahoma and have not been able to go to a GP in over 10 years. I have been with the same PM Dr over 6 years now. The only issue I have now is that no PM Dr in Oklahoma will allow contract patients to be on any opiate at the same time they are on any benzo. I have been on a low dose of xanax for over 6 years. Are docs doing the same in Colorado? The VA here doesn't allow both which seems absurd.

Is this Dr Lincoln in Denver and will he prescribe Norco 10 mg? Oxy is too strong for me. I had multi-cervical disk replacement last month and that's what they gave me afterwards, it made me nauseous, and I've been prescribed Norco for my chronic pain for years; started w/ Lorecet, way back in the day in FL...I am going to be new to Denver in June and need to have a smooth move/ meds DR/transition and hope nobody gives me weird looks, asking for that. Idk if that's considered a big deal out west, willing to try the med edibles at some point but don't know how to sign up to try them? once I get my other meds regulated ; need a certain mental/psych/anti depressant and the whole nine yards meds so hope i get the right Drs, I'll be living on S. Monaco and Rose Medical Center is the closest place..??

Seek back through pages of the thread, and you'll find the answers to your questions, please. You have to put in some time.
What discs did you have replaced? I have a C5-6 fusion, which stopped the progression of my rapidly worsening symptoms, but I am still in pain, unfortunately. You should probably not ask an MD for a narcotic. The doc will look at your history, and if he's a good MD, he'll ask you about how the different narcotics worked for you. At the very least, you let him *think* it was his decision. That at least addresses a few of your questions...
