Doctors Willing To Prescribe Pain Medication In Las Vegas Nv (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I have mouth cancer that is very painfull and have been taking opioids/pain meds for many years. My tolerance is extremely high, so to have the meds actually work on the pain i'm needing a lot more than most. Just a guide of what i thank would help me and my history with pain meds: About 360 roxys 30mg, 180-240 lortabs 10mg, 90 morphine er mg, 150 xanax 2mgs, and 180 somas, which is not a lot to me. Is there any Dr. in las vegas, NV willing to write like this any more? #CANCER PAIN IN VEGAS

I also was in so much pain that oral opiates weren't the answer. Doctors in Arizona told my family that I wasn't going to survive. I layed in bed in a darkened room waiting to die. I was then referred to the pain management center at UCLA. After confirming my eligibility they implanted an intrathecal pain pump. Because the morphine and other drugs go directly to the nerves in my spine. I am again lucid and have my life back. I still see pain management doctors and must fight this insane battle to get prescriptions for oral opiates filled, but it's all less desperate now since it isn't life and death anymore, rather quality of life. My assist dog helps me walk, get up stairs, and on airplanes. Life is so much better. Our lawmakers need to stop playing doctor and realize that not everyone taking pain medication is a junkie! I've had pain specialists in two states tell me that some patients have turned to buying H off the street because it was easier to get. I hope this excessive legislative involvement in our personal lives is fixed soon! I agree with some changes, like requiring the involvement of a pain specialist when prescription levels reach a certain level. It makes sense to have state databases to catch the doctor and pharmacy shoppers. Checks and balances are a good idea, just keep it all balanced. We just moved from Washington state and left an excellent doctor because the pharmacies weren't able fill my prescriptions reliably. Now we're encountering the same problems in Nevada. We moved to both States hoping to buy a house, but don't dare until this mess is resolved. By the way, I was a police officer for 30 years, injured on the job. I retired as a Police Chief and hoped to teach when I retired. Now I just want to live. CA Workers Compensation has been given way too much control of my life, but that's an entire story of its own.

Your doctor is an a**hole. No one in Vegas will prescribe that without thorough examination. I don't think ANY Dr is going to give you that much, cancer or not.

I can relate to so much of what I'm reading here. My husband & I are both on Social Secirity Disability due to back problems. He's had 3 surgeries & has degenerative disc disease as do I, exascerbated by multiple car wrecks. Fortunately, my loving husband has been able to care for me almost entirely for the last 6-7 yrs. We're both 60'ish now and his last surgery really knocked his legs out --literally. Thank God he is getting use back of both legs. His hands aare slower coming back. We also have a 40 yr. old son who's back is so degenerated that if he tries to stand, he will fall ! So over the course of the last 30 years or so, I've been progressively more heavily medicated. I've also had 3 heart attacks, a stroke & minor seizures as well as a variety of other maladies such as COPD and Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea, GERD, Spastic Colon, Chiari Malformation and others. When I last saw my PMD he had me on 5 oxycodone 30 mgs. daily + 100 mgs. morphine sulfate daily + 1 hydromorphone 4 mgs. daily + 4 soma 350 mgs. daily + 2 valium 10 mgs daily. Oh, I forgot to mention that IF also had breast cancer & had to have a mastectomy. Anyway, my PMD promised that since I had the cancer I didn't have to worry about this awful oxycodone bureaucratic garbage that's going on. Of course I'm paraphrasing. What he actually said was since I had the cancer diagnosis, he would be able to keep me on my oxy's. Unfortunately, as we now know, even even cancer patients are being made to die without adequate pain relief so he was unable to keep his promise. Sadly he wasn't man enough to own up to that fact so he chose to dismiss me without cause, notice or referral to another PMD knowing full well how impossible it would be for me to find a replacement within the limits of my insurance and definitely within the 30 days before my prescription ran out ! I saw another PMD just a couple days ago who has informed me that in his infinite wisdom, after knowing me for all of 4 minutes, has decided that I have Opioid Hyperanalgesia. Watch out for this one folks !! Look it up! KNOW WHAT IT MEANS BEFOREHAND OR YOU WILL REGRET IT !!! This new PMD is recommending I come off ALL pain meds inside of 6 weeks! After 30 years! What is it they say??...First do no HARM!!! I'm NOT some junkie off the street but even if I were, they bring H addicts off drugs more humanely than that. Their minimum is usually at least 90 days because any less is DANGEROUS !! And I'm no addict. In fact, before my previous PMD took the cowards way out, we were already working on cutting down on my oxy's. I went in to see this new dr. Fully expecting to have my meds cut back and really quite willing to work aggressively on that but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that he would decide to pull me off everything, virtually cold turkey. Especially when I'm the only caregiver right now of 2 completely disabled grown men. His response, "I can't medicate you based on your social life." SOCIAL LIFE !!! I haven't had a social life in 30 years. I'm just trying desparately to make sure my family gets feds because neither of them can stand in order to cook or drive to shop or get to their doctor on their own. Sure, cut my meds in half if that's what it takes to make you feel safe but what he's doing is worse than irresponsible, it's sadistic and cowardly and the bureaucrats have no right to this kind of power. The kind of power that makes our doctors mistreat us out of fear of losing their licences! And don't fool yourselves, your doctors would prescribe as they did a couple years back if they weren't constantly looking over their shoulders. So the moral of this story children is this: If you have a PMD that's prescribing anything above oxy 10's you're going to need to do WHATEVER it takes to keep him/her happy including kissing their tailfeathers if necessary...if it's even hinted at being needed because, baby, there are people out there DYING OF CANCER who are not being given the proper pain care because...you got it... it might get them addicted or ..guess what.. kill them...no REALLY !!! So boys &girls before the painful screaming starts, try to find somebody (I do mean a doctor, of course) to prescribe whatever you can get even if you have to pay for it with food money because believe if you don't, you'll be hurting so bad you won't be able to eat anyway. And one last recommendation or rather two-#1) Take each word of advice the lady before w/all the surgeries & endometriosis, I believe, anyway everything she said was right on the button and we'd ALL be well advised to take heed to each word. It was well written & extremely well put. It was quite clear she knew of what she spoke ! And finally last but by no means least, PRAY, because it's gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets ANY better. God bless you all and good luck ! If you're able, help someone else every chance you get. May the circle be unbroken by and by.

If you have Medicare Part B, that pays for your drs visits. If you also receive Medicaid with your Medicare, then your co/pays and deductibles are also paid for your drs. When you receive Medicare & Medicaid you also have Medicare Prescription Part D where you pay no more than $6.50 for Brands and $2.35 for Generics.

There is no way to know what a dr will prescribe for you ahead of time. To find a dr in your area go to the Medicare.Gov website and put Physician Compare in the search bar.

The Laws and Doctors in Las Vegas have totally changed. I'v been on Valium for 7 years and my doctor is a piece of trash. Any how that's another story, I've also been on pain medicine, Norco's for the last couple years they help manage my pain and help me with work extremely well. Now my Doctor because of a Pharmacy mess up cut me off of my Valium and told me to see a Psychiatrist, he then told me that he is under watch by the DEA big time. IS THIS IS LAS VEGAS PROBLEM or a NATIONAL Problem? I simply don't understand how the system works out here.

I need my medication the Valium especially, but for PAIN my doctor cut me off as well. I don't take a TON of Hydro's but just enough.. How the heck do I find a doctor in this town that will work with me? It's almost as if the Government wants people to buy drugs illegally. I've never seen such weird practice in my life. Any suggestions on a good DOCTOR period? Thank you! God Bless You All! Remember the Politicians did this to us our country is going down the drain fast! You can email me I frankly don't give a crap anymore about the government tracking things so email here: {edited for privacy} I am sick of the way these doctors and pharmacies are playing God with our lives at Risk. I didn't ASK to be hurt, You didn't either. Is this Las Vegas or the whole Nation?

I am in severe pain from a back injury and when I arrived in Las Vegas from another state, they started playing games with my medication. Sometimes, I can get it and then I can't. I work and can work very well on medication, but now that I have been cut off again, I am going to have to shorten my hours and my get laid off. I am writing this in severe pain and was told I had to wait for 2 weeks to get my pain medication as well as a muscle relaxer. I think they are crazy here. Seriously! For a crooked, decadent, scum around the toilet city, I am surprised that the one thing they would fixate on is stopping medication for sick. Maybe they should stop plying drinks on the gamblers so they will give up their houses and life savings to the casinos.

Buddy you do realize that the amount of opiods you are being prescribed is astronomical??? That quantity in those mg doses is the Very reason people who require only a 30 mg morphine 3x a day with a 10/325 hydrocodone door breakthrough CAN NOT find A Dr. who is willing to prescribe ANYTHING!! The quantities and dosages you state are what you require can kill an Elephant!!!! You seriously need to reevaluate whether you truly NEED said dosages/quantities!! That is ridiculously dangerous AND the very CAUSE of sooo many people who truly REQUIRE a much smaller dosage to achieve daily function w/o excruciating pain!! Thank you soo much for allowing your tolerance to become completely OUT OF CONTROL!! Because you allowed your mind to overtake your good judgement, my husband is in dire straits!! Try putting your back surgery in the hands of a butcher who instead of making his life better, created Cauda Equina Syndrome, had he been able to foretell his own future, he would have just dealt with the ruptured discs. Now he is unable to work, ever again, worse still he is unable to find a compassionate Pain Dr. due to patients who just keep increasing their doses to such exceedingly high doses that the medical powers that be will NO Longer ALLOW doctors to prescribe over 50mg morphine per DAY!!! PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY is the first factor...You sir, have a complete failure grade. Are you able to control your pain now? One more question...Are you a smoker?? Did you bring this mouth cancer to fruition to begin with? If so...Shame, Shame you knew the risks.

I disagree with the previous statement. None of your business if this person is a smoker. Very sad to be so judgmental. You really need to apologize for so many rude comments. Walk in their shoes for a day.
