Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Massachussetts (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I am in need of a new doctor in my area that is not going to blow me off when I am a new patient with a history of taking M S Contin, Oxycontin and Oxycodone. If anyone knows a decent doctor in my area I would appreciate the refferall it is hard to just call around for one when I say that I have been on meds they say they don't do that. Are you allowed to go out of state? to the next state over I am so sick of the reaction the second you mention a history of narcotics. I have recently lost feeling partially in my arms and legs from a car accident. What happened to good old doctor's

Hi, when I read what you wrote I was stunned. First of all no doctor has the right to speak to a patient like that. 2nd, you owe it to yourself to seek quality health care. Quality care begins with doctors who communicates with their patients. 3rd, As long as you are of sound mind then you and the doctor should collaborate with planning your care. No doctor can force you to take any medications. The doctor can suggest and go over side effects, but ultimately it's your decision. Also, if it's a chronic illness that had been treated befor then you can let the doctor know what works for you on the past and what didn't. It's best to bring your abstract of meds which you can get from your pharmacy. Last but not not like least, why are. You still going to that doctor. Why are you subjecting yourself to such inappropriate behavior from a healthcare professional. As a patient you have to advocate for yourself. Find another doctor please.

Janetmarie, are you still seeing that quack neurologist? Please go to your primary care dr & have her refer you to another neurologist. It seems your Dr is WAY too fresh with you as well. Unprofessional.
I'd be upset if I thought one of my best friends has cancer too!
Get some fresh air for yourself. Deep breaths. Close your eyes & think positive thoughts. I hope your friend is ok!

Hi, you need to let your doctor know immediately how the medication is affecting you because then he might decide to try something else what you should not have to do, is to through something like that.

hi I haven't posted in months. my current neurologist is a sadist. He said " It is too bad that I don't prescribe pain medications. I was on the phone and I replied Yes you do. He got a laugh out of that. I am full of anxiety right now. I do not want to sound selfish but I need to get this out. The only person that tries to visit me was
in my house 2 hours ago. Dr.'s say he probably has prostate cancer and he has lost 20+ in the past weeks. I 'm helpless he is very scared. Why hasn't he been
referred to an Oncologist. I can't take this anymore. He is alone. My heart is beating
too fast.

Janet Marie I'm surprised your neurologist is able to blow you off for 2 years of no "disease modifying medication" AND no "pain medicine"? How is he getting away with NOT treating you? If he can't or doesn't want to treat your pain he should have the common decency to refer you to pain management! !

P450,

I spoke to the neurologist on 12/05/2015. He told me that he isn't giving me "pain medicine". I have had incredible pain in my leg since 9/2014. He knows that. I found out today that he is on vacation through 1/2016.

are there teaching hospitals outside of Boston? There is a hospital in Peabody that is related to the mass general. My neurologist isn't giving me a disease-modifying treatment for a couple of years. I cannot physically go all over the state. I am very surprised that he can keep blowing me off.

Hello
it is 12:30pm and I just read a message from a professional who knows about me.
I'm grateful for the compassion. This is the most unbelievable coincidence. Last Saturday I couldn't stand the pain and I had to have my 82yo mother drive me to the
ER. after a 3+ hour wait I saw a dr. and I have to be honest about my MS and I told him that I cannot take the pain. He had a nurse give me 2 Vicodin at the hospital.
He wrote a script for me and the nurse gave it to me as we were leaving. I have a bad reaction to that RX. My scalp, nose, lips became very itchy. I have been using Lidocaine patches and Ibuprofen since. That was exhausting. Tomorrow is December 20. Every year my niece and I celebrate our birthdays with the family. I have been stressing out about tomorrow. I can remember last year I had to sit with my leg up on a chair I haven't had any relief since then. I cannot try to rest because there is going to be a lot of people that I only see once a year in the house. I cannot stand still and shower or brush my teeth. I am sorry that I don't have good news I 'll have to share more after this weekend.

Posters,

The critical ones I've read below like Janet Marie need to get involved with teaching hospitals in Boston that will give proper care they cannot turn their back on you. In your case JM find out where your last physician is and reestablish immediate care if you have to use former address and travel with the FDA 120 mg. morphine equivalent you are f***ed as most of us in America and if you read my posts go to the HOME page - I post on trending posts listed.

JN and posters,

NEVER attempt American medications in Mexico or go to one of their physicians and ask for Oxycontin.

In Mexico Oxycontin is Tylenol to use an example. I don't know why anyone would risk this.

My husband has grown medical marijuana for me now since 2000. MMJ is all female plants no males. He grows 3 plants at a time in Hydro so it is free of any chemicals. He learned about all of this through Greenway College. It is a great course. The best part is you know what and where it has in it and where it came from. I have permission for 12 plants because I'm a mess but it works. Part of pain is the strain on muscles and tendons these become relaxed with MMJ decreasing pain. I use for sleep. AM on minimum doses of pain meds since then
