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 have the same problem i am 24 with a disease called kyphosis i have undergone multiple spinal fusions and hardware removal i also have a broken screw stuck in my spine. Please email me if u can help me thank you.
I got the message but it had no email address in it.... I sent them that form with the link to my post and saying that we would both like to talk through email. I sent it yesterday so maybe if you do too they will give us a way to swap email addresses
if u can get this its my email if not then we might have 2 fill out a form or whatever.
Let me see if I can do this in a different way. See if this works and its my email
And Janet, I definitely feel where you are coming from. It is incredibly frustrating to be the victim in a situation which you have no control over. I can't control what conditions I have, nor that people abuse these drugs. But I shouldn't be punished nor should any other chronic pain patient because of what other people choose to do.
Hey Tammy. Fill out that contact form on post # 18 with with me and then we can get in contact.
So I tried putting my email up and it is under review before they will post it.. Do you have Yahoo Messenger or anything like that? Also, do they do drug tests? I'm fine with doing them but they get pricey.
He sounds like a great guy. My doc today tried to tell me when I asked to switch my methadone to hydromorphone that 2mg of dilaudid is equal to 10mg of methadone. Which is BULLS***!!!! I know more than this dude knows. So 8mg of dilaudid would be equal to 40mg of methadone. He is high or something because that's the worst equi-analgesic conversion I've ever heard. But I think I am DEFINITELY going to try your doc. This one tried to push me into not taking xanax because "people abuse it". I'm like no duh man all these drugs are abused!!!!! I wish you could email me so we could talk in more detail. Let me try my email again. xxxxx@xxxx
Oh and I am only 30, so he doesn't judge if ur young.
I have personal experience, he is my current pain doc and he believes if it works why change it. As long as u have ur current medical records with or without mri (unless its a back thing then u probably need a mri) he will write you for what u want and knows works for you. I thought it was a clinic like you hear about the doc writing for whatever without a care and shady but its not and you would like the doc he actually listens and doesn't push anything else on u. I would rather not say what I am on but the first time I went in I told him what works and he said the let's do that. He also has a clinic in ducan, ok.
Hi MaC686, boy do I know what your going through! I have degenerated disk dies. as well, am on S.S.I. .. I swear when your on dissabilty doctors just don't seem to give a dam, I have been passed around to so many doctors. I finally found a suregon, but he has wanted to do so many other things to see if they will help the problem before he does anykind of surgery. Well the pain is worse than ever. I am also in need of pain meds, My primary care doc. gives me norco, and that just makes me really sick. My surgeon gave me a one time script of Demerol. That helped a bit better, didn't make me sic, but the thing is, he won't give me anymore. I'm sorry to go on like this, but what can we do? Outside of going and getting what we need on the streets!!!!!!!!!! Something has got to be done. We all need to get together and write letters to whomever like crazy! I have not been able to do anything the last 5 years of my life! I'm not living, only exsiting.
Let me know how your doing.
Janet
It's not letting me post it..... It says it has to be reviewed before it can be posted. Idk what the deal is. But if you don't mind me asking on here, have you had personal experience with this Dr? And also what exactly was prescribed and for what??

Could you please email me so we can talk more.
They do but they give u a bill to send to insurance so u can get reinburst. And the most of oxyir is 6 a day but more on others.
Thank you. I actually found a Dr. who has been helping me. But I will keep this one as a backup FOR SURE. He really just asks you what works for you and writes it? Do you know what sort of amounts? And so I take it they don't accept insurance because of how much it costs huh?
There is one clinic that is in wheat ridge, co right out of denver called colorado pain relief # 303-456-4882 if you call today then they might be able 2 get u in this week. The dr just asks u what works for u and then that is what u walk out with. But its 200 for ur first visit then 150 after that. But its pretty good and he listens very well. Hopeu call him or u have one now since I know its ben awhile since this board.
Give me your email and I'll send you a copy of my MRI. That's pretty ridiculous that you come on here accusing me of lying. I find that very offensive. Degenerative disc disease is only one of the many problems. I didn't post on this website to hear people telling me that I'm not telling the truth. Unbelievable
Hi, if you have degenerated disk dieas. I have news for you, it never , ever will heal, go away, it will get worse with time. I get injections, they can help from anywhere from a couple months, to a year. The first time I had it done it didn't help. I had the injections again, so now, knock on wood it helps me to be pain fre for many months. I have a feeling what you just told everyone isn't the complete truth. Be honest, I don't judge anyone.
I am the same way. I am actually not even able to work right now until I get my back healed because it's THAT bad. So I am getting on disability in order to get all my discs and what not healed over a couple years. But I still have to go to school, which I am an Honor's Student in College. So I know how it goes, I don't have kids but I know how it goes with not being able to focus on anything else when you're in a lot of pain. I am only 21 and rarely go out or go to concerts like I love to because I am constantly in so much pain!!! But I once again wish you the best and will let you know if something turns up
