Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 264)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

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!!!!!

Actually it might just show up it only takes about 15 min for oxy ir to get into your system but everyone is different so she might be ok but if it does show up just be up front and honest doctors will be a little more understanding if you tell them the truth instead of lying. Hope everything goes well and your family is in my prayers.

@Rob. No I don't think it will show up. Your body has to have time to metabolize it. I could be wrong but I would think you would need the same amount of time as it takes for food and drink to be converted into stool and urine. But your whole question confuses me. And just fyi, she should take opiates over Ibuprofen in my highest opinion because NSAIDs destroy your stomach and the lining of your intestines. I actually was prescribed a Rx NSAID and I had bloody stool about two weeks into the month so I stopped. So tell her not to take that. But if you don't mind me asking what medications was she prescribed today and what strength? Because if she doesn't take them and doesn't have a tolerance then they will make her unable to drive if you (with a tolerance) can't even drive. I am on heavy meds for my pain and can drive perfectly fine. And cars are more dangerous then the meds. Just monitor what they do to her because she shouldn't be driving around 4 kids if she's all doped up and in that case the doc might need to lower her dosages.

Hey Mac it's rob. I have a ? For you My wife is kinda new to all this pain stuff. She has been going to the doc about 6 months or so. By the way he never screened her be for.She has a slip disck and a tear in her disck.The doc that has been giving her meds is really pushing for a discgram but are lawer said no tell him you just want to treat it with your pain meds Becouse we are running out of $ on are case. Well she really don't like taking the meds Becouse like I tolubuntu be for we have 4 kids heavy in sports. Well Any way she treats her self with Ibprovin Becouse the kids and shes the main driver to get us around since I can't drive Becouse of my meds. Well today I gave her a about an 1/8 of a 20 mg oxycodone about 1/2 hr be for her appt. we surprise they screened her. You think it will appear in the results? They have the same cup as CPR uses but I don't want to screw up our case. If he writes it in the report and they don't think she is in pain. Witch she really is she's just a good mother and wife and don't want to be medicated to take care of her fam. Please get back to me and let me knw what u think. By the way they did give her her scrips today. Thank you Mac

Shawna your experiences are all too similar to my own, well,I have to admit you re dx's have nothing on mine.Nonetheless, I stillstrugledittook 2years to find some1 who cares/. I also did the suboxone thing,because when you re in pain, well we try everything legal under the sun. These docs have the DEA breathing down their necks. I have posted this clinic that willhelp and not judge you. Most likely with your nausea etc. you will be offered the Phentynol patch. They care,illgive you the name of this clinic they do take insurance Unified Health Group..located in Arvada. Good luck.i also heard Dr. May is great too that practice takes cashonly.so there are 2 goodoptions.

well I guess there is no time like the present to try and get the help I want and need. I went to my Dr. and asked about getting an updated MRI and seeing a nuerologist. After putting on her fake smile and just nodding and promising to help me, my Dr. had the office manager stop me on the wayout and give me a letter that she no longer wants to see me for "failure to medically progress." I feel like she doesnt want to have to do anything, but wants me to ne pacified with meds and just shut up and go away. I called the pain Dr. and they want my last few treatment notes. I am worried my primary care said something negative to make it look like she is in the right. I have my last appointment in a half hour. I am hoping she gives me a months worth of all my meds to hold me until I can get in somewhere else. I am waiting on a call back from Dr. Sutherland as to wether he can accept me for primary care and maybe order a new MRI so that I can continue my care. I am hoping for a new, better door to open! I am very anxious and worried. Wish me luck!

He is a good doctor and either the doctor or the new PA in the practice will see you if you have recent records and determine whether or not they want to see you. I say go for it if your doctor isn't giving you ANYTHING that helps. The doctor's name is on this thread, so I would say look him up, and call them and talk to them about your situation. From hearing your post I would think they would help you but if you ever ask for just OC they will red flag you, not give you the meds and probably not give you anything. If you have chronic pain you need a long acting med and breakthrough meds. Which if they see that you have chronic pain you should be ok. Just call them. I can't make your decision for you, but I suggest calling them and making an appointment. But make sure to bring all your records because they won't even see you without them. And they do screening every month. Oh and it is a cash facility. They will give you reports of your visit to send to your ins company to try to get reimbursed, which I haven't done but i am going to start doing because damn Obamacare made my insurance go up by 100 already and it could double by next year. The "affordable care act" has nothing affordable about it and I think it should be repealed. All it's done has cost people more money. But this isn't a politics page lol. Just look through the thread for his name and look him up and call them.

Unified Health Group has whole team of dr.s and professionals its in Arvada CO, they do take Medicaid/medicare and a lot of other insurances. I have ben with this place for 7 months, its fairly new clinic. They are filling up fast. They offer complimentary consultation, they plan out your care see about your insurance. the best thing is the chiropractor can see all of your problems/damage/pain causing etc. the chiropractor communicates with the pain dr. ,they do facet injections. Ive hd plenty others bt the facet injections helped so much .So if you're in pain thr chiropractor sees it on the Xray feels it as you get adjusted.I would like to say they address pain appropiatly not just with meds but therapy..too. They don't force injections on you neither. If you decide you woud like them they will, nd the pain I had was decreased within hours of y facet injections. (of coarse they got my meds to where im comfortable) you can google the location and phone number. This place has helped to give my life back

Mac, Have a quick question! So I have had 2 mri's in the last 4 years due to damage to my knee, it now shows severe arthristis,(due to 2 different injuries in my past) and the pain is there everyday!!!I have tried physical therapy, cortazone shots, and just finished 3 shots for 3 weeks called Synvesc (?spelling) and it has not helped with the pain at all. Since all of this the orthopedic doc has prescribed hydro-co, and now she will does not want to refill it but there is nothing left to do, she says I am too young for knee replacement surgery! I have 3 girls and I try to stay active but have serious limitation. Do you think this particular doc could help me. Most all the time I am in pain, and especially climbing 3 stories in my home! I just wanted your advice before I do anything, Please let me know your thoughts, I have read the whole thread and had really learned a lot. Thanks for all your experience and sharing it all with us. Lovemy3girls

Thanks I found the name. My case is complicated by the fact that until recently my pain was "unknown origin " . Now that the FDA has recalled the pelvic mes that was implanted years ago people (family ) have stopped trying to tell me it's in my head. Thanks everyone foe all comments.

I would like to know your doctor 's name if you would share. My doctor retired. I had been with him for more than 8 years. My pain has been controlled very well for most of that time so I don't wish to change the current protocol. I obviously have records to show exactly what I've discussed. I feel like I'm hanging out on a limb. Help please.

What you need to do is go into Dr. May, although he might want to write you fentanyl or something on top of the oc because they treat chronic pain with long acting and a few breakthrough. So go into him, see what he has to say, and I would also make an appointment with a neurosurgeon or someone like that on the side to be referred to try some steroid injections and things like that. I got SI joint injections on Tuesday and my ass has been KILLING ME since, but they do take at least 3 days to work. So I should be feeling better by tomorrow. But you're going to need to see multiple doctors (not for meds but for a complete view of your issues and if there are any solutions). Try Dr. RajPal in Boulder Neurosurgeon Associates. Its BNAsurg.com. Check them out and see if he has good suggestions as to what to do. He was the one that recommended injections although he didn't say one word about the meds I'm on so I don't think he is anti-medeication. Good doctors want you to have your pain under control but also to searching for the solution to the pain instead of simply dumbing it down with meds. Trust me, I know all about God complex doctors. I met about a dozen "pain management doctors" that wouldn't hear a word I said. But as of now with Dr. May I'm ok with my pain. Still there but not as bad. Just keep your head up and talk to them. He is pretty understanding and he is a very kind man who will listen as opposed to just talking over you.
