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

Have you tried Neurontin? Generic name is Gabapentin. I will say that when first tried, it made me feel out of it because (simply put) the dosage was to high to start with. If you've never had some of the nerve type pain killers start low for first month. But TBH these, along with pain killers, help enormously. Without them my pain killers alone do nothing!

My nerve pain is from an old accident which caused pinched nerve in cervical, plus degenerate disc disease, plus the fact doctors no longer listen and so i walked around with a literal broken neck for 8 plus months which stretched out nerves, vocal cords and more. But Nuerotin has helped more than most doctors even try. I have a blown disc (3 to be exact one leaking against spinal column, one torn in half), was told June of 09 I'd lose my legs of not repaired within 5 years. At that time arm and neck was OOC; I insisted they go in to find what MRI want not showing.Then 6 mths later day before back surgery the surgeon dropped me as a patient. No reason (to my knowledge), none given, and can't seem to find a doctor that wants to operate on a spine that 2 other docs have already touched.

Regardless that I'm maxed out on pain meds and my quality of life sucks. I'm 45 Single mom with fybro, ddd, thyroid, high bp, and a list of stupid things if my back were better I could do more to help myself get and feel better. It's almost like docs no longer want that to happen. Do they get a kick back (payoff) when one of their patents die?

There are many doctors who will prescribe those type of pills. The only problem is they're going to send you to your Oncologist and expect them to prescribe the drugs they think will work for you.

Are there any doctors left out there that are willing to perscribe oxycodone 30mg to people that truly need them. I have been taking them for months now for my osteoarthritis in my hip, degenerative disk disease, chronic pain in my hip and back, spinal stenosis, etc. Had back surgery last year and fused my L4 & L5. Had a rod and a metal plate put in. There were complications that had happen during the surgery. The doctor was just supposed to make a small incision in my lower back to put those pieces in, so because he couldnt get to the part of my spine that he needed to for the rod, so he made a small incision on my left side and tried to get to the spine that way. Unfortunately he wasn't able to get to it, do to the fact that there was to much of the muscles that blocked his way of getting to the spine. Not to mention, but in the mists of him trying to get to the spine on my left side, he had ,cut all the nerves that are in the lower left side of my back, which in return has caused my left leg to have permanent never damage. So anyway, since he couldn't fix my back from my left side, he went into my right side. Then he was able to take care of putting the rod where it needed to go. After my recovery from that, my hip seemed to have been getting worse as the days went on. I can badly walk some days, it a struggle to get ip out of bed, if I step the wrong way my hip gives out on me and there have been times where i feel like I want to collapse to the floor. I can not lift my leg up far enough to put my socks on. It's very hard for me to bend down to pick something up off the floor. I have to walk up and down the stairs one by one, I walk with a walker(on my bad days)and use a cane the rest of the time. I have a 10yr old that I want to do so much with, and i cant because I never know if my hip will even work with me on any given day. I am not that old(44) but I feel that way(like I'm 80). I would like to be able to feel comfortable and free of pain for awaile. I know one day I will have to have surgery on my hip, just right now the timing is not d. So if there is anyone out there that could help me find that doc, I would be so appreciative for the help. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and possibly helping me with my situation.

When you post "opioid abuse" you are lumping in illicit opiates. Those numbers have proven to be more than 2 million off even when including illegal drug users.

WTF... you had me going with your knowledge regarding opiates/opioids.... but after reading your recommendation and review of the physician I am certain that the majority of your intelligent posting was copied and pasted. Why would you refer anyone to a Coke abusive sexist? So reckless!

I too, share a similar problem. Hopefully I can be of assistance to you. At any rate, I am physiologically dependent on opioid/opiates narcotic analgesics. Like you, I have severe spinal injuries resulting from a NVA and sustained 4 c-spine stenosis and 2 herniated disks as well as 3 L-spine severe disk injuries (2 stenosis) with 1 herniated at L5. I take methadone 50mg every 12 hours with oxycodone 30 mg every 4 hours as needed. I had to withdraw from med school in 1994 due to unrelated reasons but have encyclopedic knowledge on how to assist you with your dilemma. First, it must be noted, the epidemic of opioid abuse is reaching critical mass in the contiguous United States. I'm willing to bet that 90% of all the readers of this posting are unaware of this following fact: "90% of all the world's opioids are consumed in the US alone!". Imagine that?! Anyway, due to ****s like Prince; Michael Jackson and other irresponsible addicts- the US government is making it increasingly difficult for physicians to prescribe schedule-2 drugs. I don't want to appear patronizing here but many people do not know how controlled substances are classified so I shall explain. There are 6 categories 1-6; schedule-1 are drugs that have no medicinal value nor use.

C-2 drugs are the strongest of all the medical drugs. Here's a few examples: Demerol; oxymorphone; oxycodone; morphine; FENTANYL (keep away from this one - it will KILL you!) and schedule 3 is codeine, fiorinal and similar low-end opioids. Until recently, hydrocodone was amongst this group but because many addicts started their addiction with lortab; Vicodin and Norco- the AMA directed the US FDA to this fact and these drugs (hydrocodone) were monitored just like FENTANYL! Personally, I find hydrocodone to be far too weak a opioid to enter the same orbit as oxymorphone and oxycodone as well as methadone. The DEA monitors all schedule II drug prescriptions and, trust me, as a physician - I find the monitoring of hydrocodone (a hydrogenated ketone of CODEINE) a joke. I feel that the DEA pays little to no attention to this aforementioned opioid also. Surely, the elevation of hydrocodone to C II accomplishes NOTHING! It belongs to C III where it can be telephoned in to a pharmacy and also refilled up to 7 times. It should be noted that all C 2 drugs are NOT refillable and cannot be called in by a practitioner to a pharmacy except in 24 hour supplies and even then - a written RX must be sent to the dispensing pharmacy.

In my unshakable opinion, the opioid problems will only worsen and the government is making it much more difficult for Doc's to treat patients whom become tolerant to narcotic meds. The epidemic of opioid abuse should be treated, in both my personal and professional opinion, by education and pill counting performed by prescribing physicians office/pharmacy or another venue. Additionally, Narcan should be given to every patient on opioid medications to ensure the immediate treatment for an accidental overdose and this will dramatically cut mortality rates across the board. Additionally, naloxone (NARCAN) should be sold OTC (over the counter) since it can't kill a person and is not able to be abused. If this was done - death rates from opioid addicts alone would drop by 80-90%! If the government continues it's assaults on doctors, pharmacies and other venues of health care industry - all that will happen is exactly what already happened when the FDA/DEA attacked Purdue pharmaceutical company and forced it to reconfigure the delivery system in oxycontin: 69-85% of all the users ran straight to illicit drugs! This will DEFINITELY happen again but at much greater numbers! It is IMPOSSIBLE to STOP the influx of illicit drugs because of the HUGE PROFITS INVOLVED. Additionally, if the government continues it's assaults on the legal opioid industry and prescribers- the death and crime rate will increase by historical numbers.

Instead of 80 overdoses a month.....the United States will see 8-10,000 a week within the next 5-10 years! This is not a unique opinion- IT'S A MATHEMATICAL CERTAINTY! As for your question about a pain doctor: Steven Holper, MD on Charleston blvd will prescribe copious amounts of oxy, if you are already on it and especially if u are an attractive female! He's a coke user but don't mention it to him and his weakness is big breasts and white, blonde, women! In the interim, you can increase the effects of opioids by preventing the stomach from destroying half of all oral opioid potencies by taking 200 mg of tagamet (cimetadine) available over the counter. Take 200-400 mgms 1 hour prior to taking the pain meds.. Also, drink only grapefruit juice as it contains an enzyme that blocks the metabolic process performed by the liver. There are other drugs that aid in this process and I suggest you Google them. HIV protease inhibitors; Erythromycin (antibiotics) are 2 of many. Be careful and don't abuse the knowledge....
