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!!!!!

Ya definitely get medical records. Because if you don't have them they won't even see you. They're great doctors, but they follow the rules very strictly, which I feel is great. Places that don't follow the rules and bend/break the rules get shut down. And I definitely don't want this place to be shut down. So I'm ALLLLL for them making their patients follow all the rules so the DEA doesn't get involved and shut them down.

No medical records is a no go, but if u have med records that say what's wrong then he probably would prescibe since the tramadol is not working. You just have to tell them it doesn't work and u would like to try the oxy, but you need to call your old doctor and have them give you your medical records so then you can see him. And there are more than 1 doctor in the clinic and they all are great and compasionate, none want anyone in pain and will work with you.

Ya you HAVE to have diagnostic records otherwise they won't even see you. Which with how much Rx abuse is in this country right now I think that's the right thing to do is make the patient get an MRI or some other diagnostic because there are WAY too many people that try to abuse the system to just get drugs. I'm not saying that's you at all, I'm just saying I think it's the right way to go about things. If you have diagnostics they will probably give you a low dose of Oxy but I've been having to work up back towards the dose of pain meds I was on when I was on Fentanyl and Oxy IR. So they try to work you up slowly. Odds are with no medical records or diagnostic papers, and with not having any records in the Colorado Presciption Drug Monitoring program showing you've been prescribed pain meds and havne't had issues you probably won't get anything. But if you get diagnostic papers that may be a different story.

i am also looking for a doctor who will refill my meds without it causing so much hassle.. I have had chronic back and neck pain and have had 2 neck surgeries and a lower back surgery that did not work . I have osteo and degenerative disk disease , fibromyalgia and a whole mess of different things going on and i have went thru all the physical therapy and everything and i am not doctor shopping and i moved to Henderson, Nevada 2 years ago and i am seeing a doctor who started refilling my meds when i got here and now all of a sudden he feels i need to go to a different doctor and every time i go into his office its like he acts like i'm an addict or doctor shopping . I have gone there for 2 years and i am 51 years old i have been dealing with this for over 10 years and i had a great doctor in Wyoming but i don't know what doctor i can go to here without them thinking i am doing this to get high. I am only trying to get thru the day. my doctor refilled my prescription last month and he wants me to go see some other doctor that does not believe in pain meds .. i have been thru so much and i finally got meds that helped but i need to be upped ..ITS BEEN 5 YEARS on the same dose.. I am in so much pain i don't know what to do ..PLEASE HELP ..

I don't know if just Kyphosis and Scoliosis would be enough to get all those. I'm not trying to say you don't have pain but I just am not sure just those two diagnoses will be enough for the doctor. But look farther down in the thread. The number is down a bit. It's expensive though. 200 for the first visit and 150 for every one after that. And I'm not saying you are being deceitful but they definitely seem to be pretty damn strict and they are really good at picking out the people who are just seekers. Once again, not accusing you, just letting you know, because I know how many people have serious addiction issues for recreational use right now in our country. It's an epidemic, that's why Dr.'s are getting so strict because the DEA is down their throats. And you have to have full medical records proving your diagnoses. And if you're on a lot of time release meds they might not do them at first but if anything they would work you up to them if they feel that's what needs to be done. Best of luck.

Hey Mac, I am in a similar situation. Did you find a good doc? I could really use some help finding a new doc. I'm 24 w/ kyphosis and scoliosis. I've been taking 120-150mg of oxycodone per day, plus some time released meds. My GP is no longer doing pain mgmt, I need a new doc asap.

I know one PM doc that I saw wanted to put me on it because I didn't have an MRI at the time so he probably thought I was lying about my pain just to get drugs but he definitely could prescribe it. So try calling Pain Management doctors.

Check online for suboxone doctors they should have a list, only suboxone docs can prescribe that not any doctor, its a different a different dea# for them and they have to be trained for addiction medicine to be able to be able to prescribe it. So our doc wouldn't be able to help on that one sorry.

Ok, I don't know where you are reading your comments bamagrl79 but its not from here. No one sad you were an addict and you are b****ing about the same thing you are doing which is telling someone that the pain the have is fake, and they are doctor shopping. We are just trying to help and you chose to write on here so don't sit there and tell others that their pain is fake and they are doctor shopping when you don't know. You can't judge someone when you don't know them and if someone is doctor shopping I say let them kill themselves one less problem. But really no one said that you were an addict or doctor shopping, so you can move on and quit verbally abusing people on this site which is suppose to help not hurt people.

Lol this is hilarious. I haven't preached about drug addicts and I haven't "berated" other people on here. You keep thinking what you're thinking. Maybe someday you'll grow up.

Your the 4 yr old cause you've got as much knowledge of what you're talking about. And as much as you preach about drug addicts it seems to me you're the drug addict who has nothing better to do than sit on here and berate other people and misinform others. Seems like all you're doing is doctor shopping to get as many pills as you possibly can. Get a life jackass

And yes I meant Norco, the 10mg hydrocodone and 325mg tylenol. My mistake. But ya, I'm done arguing like a 4 year old. Best of luck to you! Sorry you were shut down, but all I will say is, there must be a good reason. Later!

And that's ALL I said was that there must be SOME reason that they didn't write what you need. No one discounted your pain and no one is telling you to take Tylenol for you pain. DAMN
