Doctors Willing To Prescribe Pain Medication In Las Vegas Nv (Page 3)

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 am trying to understand something here.about not able to get your medicines from the pharmacy?i wish someone could tell me, what medicines are they talking about? plus,they are saying that they cut out all of the hydrocodone 10/500 that had opiades.i am kind of confused.WHAT exactly these poor people are suppose to take for chronic pain,for their previous injuries,either car accidents,or got hurt at work,and had surgeries.and still suffering from pain.i don't understand,how US the patients ,are suppose to go by our day,suffering with pain, and go and work.i wish someone could lead me the way, i am a culinary member.

This is to "Buddy" , hey, YOU DONT HAVE "MOUTH CANCER" & it's because of users like YOU, that people that ACTUALLY have PAIN problems, CANT get pain meds. There is not a REAL DOCTOR on this PLANET that would prescribe what YOU are claiming is "acceptable". I hope YOU & EVERYBODY like YOU get the hell out of MY STATE. YOU HAVE DESTROYED THINGS FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE ACTUALLY SEEKING "PAIN MANAGEMENT".

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.

I am so discouraged in this F....ng town(Las Vegas) I've got Stage IV metastatic small cell Lung & Liver cancer. Without treatment they give me 2-4 months & with treatment about 6-8months. I'm in severe pain(not to mention my crohn, celiac or diabetes on the side) I don't know how to find a pain mgmt. dr. certified to prescribe TIRF meds that I desperately need. You'd think they would have a list of qualified doctors in your area that are qualified to prescribe Immediate release Fentanyl. My pain mgmt. Doctor is Robert Biem & I saw him for the first time this last week. But I don't know if he qualifies for the Program. HELP PLEASE!

Put TIRF in your search bar. That should show you a page that explains the TIRF REMS Access program. It is still up to your dr to decide if he thinks this is best for you. Be sure your new dr has copies of your medical records from your previous drs.

Hi Cindy. I am also a disabled chronic pain patient with a long list of diagnosis' from a high speed auto accid. I've tried every treatment out there & drs say they won't touch me for surgery since I'm a very poor risk so, pain medication has been what gives me some sort of life & allows me to do at least simple things. We are relocating to Las Vegas & Im so worried about finding a good, compassionate pain management Dr. especially with the DEA going around & scaring the hell out of any caring physicians that are left!! I'll be locating in Clark County Vegas area. If you have found our do find a good physician & would be willing to share his name with me I'll be happy to do the same with you. I have a family member who resides there & is looking into some referrals. Let me know & best of luck to anyone who's in need of finding a new pain mgnt.dr!!

I moved from Florida to Nevada and I am on SSI Disability. The 1st insurance I chose had a network of THREE doctors (in same bldg. in Vegas) and another one doctor at a Henderson office. My insurance hooked me up with the doctor in Henderson and I went because I was almost out of medicine. My FIRST visit I had my prescription bottles, previous doctors and explained my records were lost in move. I am 50 yrs old and for the past 8 years have been on some sort of MS Contin and MSIR for breakthrough. (I have used Kadian, Avinza, Nucynta and Loratabs in the past). At any rate the morphine has always worked and been covered under my insurance, I was on 60mg extended release 4x daily and 30mg immediate release 4x daily. My first visit I was cut down to 60mg 3x a day, by a 25 yr old PAC! He told me that I needed to exercise more, he goes to the gym 6 days a week and that pain is part of life-just deal with it. I was livid! I may not "work out" but I certainly exercise. My next visit after getting MRI and records I requested to see the actual doctor, which seemed worse, like he was annoyed I was bothering him. He comes in wearing headphones, talking into his tape recorder and typing on his laptop, spends all of 5 minutes with me and cut my meds AGAIN from 30mg to 15mg immediate release. I explained I was having hard time adjusting to last cut and barely making it, "well I don't believe it necessary and we would like to perform a procedure on you to see how much pain you are in". At this point I am in tears, 2 visits and all you want to do is cut my meds and practice procedures, which they mentioned on my 1st visit, procedures.
I am now at my wits end, I have since changed insurances and PM doctors and after waiting TWO HOURS, have had my dosage cut in HALF and was told I could do that, go to rehab or go cold turkey because he felt that was the problem, I have been on morphine too long and it is not effective so we have to take it away and start over. I didn't have any problems with my pain regiment until moving here. There were days that the humidity in Florida really hurt and bothered me but now I am in pain constantly with no relief and no hopes of seeing a PM doctor that understands. I have bone spurs that pinch my nerves in my neck and disc disease along with arthritis in my spine. I was diagnosed with this in Las Vegas in 2006 and was sent to a PM doctor that prescribed me these drugs. Gradually they have increased, by ONE 60mg MS Contin and instead of 30mg MSIR it was 15mgs.
Is there anyone in Las Vegas that has a PM doctor that isn't afraid to write prescriptions or is it doctors that are covered in Medicare networks that are afraid or simply don't care? Never in my life have I been made to feel like a junkie until coming here and seeing the doctors in Las Vegas. I tried to see the doctor I originally saw when I lived here but, doesn't take my insurance.

Hi All,

Instead of everyone telling each other about what they are taking or a huge story of why they are taking such drugs, the real question and answer is this. I need like so many others here in the Las Vegas area need to find a Dr. who will prescribe pain medicines, like Roxy 30's+, Methadone, Loratabs, 10mg, Percocets, 10mg & Soma's etc. I have insurance but I don't have money to go to a dr, like one of the links metioned above as I am on disability. For my self I need a Dr who will proscrib Roxy 30mg 120+ quanity, Soma 359mg 120+ Fentalyn 100mg Patches 14 quanity and Xanac 10mg 120+.

I have Medicare A & B and Medicad.

Plse help

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.
