Does anyone know of a good PCP in the Columbus Ohio area willing to prescribe Norcos for pain of the middle to lower back? Please let me know as I am in a bit of pain and just moved to the area. Thanks.

I can totally relate to you I have rsd too. The worst ever .People have no clue the pain you are actually in they think you make it up that you just want pain meds or flat out just lying. No it took 5 doctors until I got diagnosed. Doctors had no clue just guessing wasting my time but filling their pockets. I was going insane. I felt totally beside myself literally. I didn't walk for two long long years left leg shriveled up to nothing . Was told I have good news and bad good news was my injury was identified as rsd he read all of my symptoms to a tee finally I felt like I wasn't crazy. Well the bad news was it don't get better I will never walk I had bad case to get in wheel chair and do physical therapy for the sympathetic response. I did all that the hot cold off on electric synthasisor that I hooked up at home that shocked the crap outta my good leg but felt nothing in my bad leg. Dr.Gronbach in Chillicothe Ohio is amazing. He works at Adena hospital. He's so on point. But he installed a stimulator from st Jude's too in me to just try anything when I pushed button it made me pee,and it did nothing for the pain. I had it taken out. But bless his heart he tried. The only thing to help control .pain was meds and after awhile they'll slowly stop and you find yourself getting stronger meds to cover your pain. I never gave up and got into a wheel chair I stayed on crutches for 2 years,boy was my arms muscular more than I wanted lol. But I prayed and prayed to God help me I'm a young mother my boys need me I felt so helpless and hopeless. I said please let me be a mother again they need me. They're father didn't help. I got up one day and walked out to the pool, well hobbled and got into that pool and did my own therapy. Water is the best therapy ever. I pushed myself harder than anyone could make me. I felt .Y muscles rejuvenate my leg looking like the other one slowly but surely. After swimming and arobics I went into house and tried standing on my leg without crutches off and on .And after doing this for about a month straight I put all my weight down and said your going to walk today. And I did. I took about five steps but I did it it hurt but after each day it felt better and better . The atrophy makes you hurt so much more. The ole saying g move it or loose it is soo correct. But I truly believe God gave me the blessing to empower me with the strength not to give up. No one believes me still to this day but I know God does and that's all that matters. I walked on a walker for a minute until my muscles were stronger then the Cain then nothing. I could walk again when I was told basically to give upon that idea. Today I still hurt all the time I'm still walking tho the disease has traveled to hand and other leg but nothing like my first encounter with this horrible disease. Never give up don't let anyone tell you you can't do it, you can God gave me the blessing and he will you too. Truely ... Take your meds serious and put them in safe place. I've had mine stolen more times then I can count trusting different people to help family included. Just be cautious and you'll be fine listen to your intowishin and follow it . That's God telling you hey chick do this . If your reading this and you don't know what reflex sympathetic dystrophy is look it up. It's a disease that you can get just outta the blue and change your life forever. It effects your nerves, bones, muscles, your brain ,your entire being. But you can't let it beat you you gotta fight and fight hard, then harder. I'm a proven fact. And pray he really does listen . God bless you all. Goodnight.

Hey Greg, wondered if you ever found a doc in Cincinnati? I'm Don, also a 47 yr. old, looking for meds. Back pain sucks, been through several pain docs. The last wouldn't give me any more meds unless i let him keep doing procedure after procedure. Holding my Fentanyl hostage. It should be illegal to do that s***, dr.'s are above the law.

I feel for you. I've been on Savella and it was horrible! Made me deeply depressed, which is a side effect! Go figure! I was put on Lyrica which made my whole body burn with pain. Cymbalta didn't do anything. Then some brilliant person prescribed Effexor, which is impossible to get off because you get painful brain zaps, have a loss of balance, etc...
Anyway Dr Gregory Figg in Westerville treats pain and uses medication as well as other things because he's an anesthesiologist.

Try Midwest Spine and Pain Management in Gahanna. Don't take it personal if Dr. Henry doesn't give you any attention when he speaks to you, that's how he is

That is my Dr also. Ten years ago when I saw him he gave me percocet and oxycodone. Now he will only give me shots. He said he can't give out what he use to because of the new rules. It sucks. I'm now looking for a doctor who will prescribe pain meds in Columbus Ohio for lower back pain.

I HAVE CRPS SINCE 2010 AND HAD A MEDTRONIC STIMULATOR PUT IN IN 2013 WHICH TOOK ONLY ABOUT 40% OF THE PAIN AWAY AND I STILL HAD TO STAY ON PAIN MEDS. THE BATTERY BURNED OUT IN MAY 2014 AND WHEN I LOST WEIGHT DUE DUE BECOMING "CUT-OFF" FROM MY PAIN MANANAGEMENT DR THAT I WAS DRIVING 75 MILES EACH WAY TO SEE MY BATTERY STARTED COMING THRU MY SKIN. I THEN WENT TO THE CLEVELAND CLINIC PAIN MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT WHERE I WAS ORIGINALLY DIAGNOSED WITH CRPS AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE GIVEN NO PAIN MEDS EVER AND OBVIOUSLY HAD TO HAVE THE MEDTRONICS UNIT REMOVED. THE ONLY CHOICEI WAS GIVEN WAS TO HAVE THE MEDTRONICS UNIT REMOVED AND A DRG IMPLANT UNIT PUT IN. HAVING NO OTHER CHOICE I WENT THRU THE PRE-TRIAL FOR 1 WEEK AND HAD NO CRPS PAIN AT ALL SO OF COURSE I GAVE THE OK TO PROCEED WITH THE PERMANENT IMPLANT AS SOON AS MY INSURANCE WOULD APPROVE IT. THE DRG IMPLANT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL IN ME! I GET JOLTING SHOCKS AT RANDOM PLACES IN MY BACK AND LEGS, IT HAS MADE MY RESTLESS LEGS 100% WORSE, PLUS THE CRPS PAIN IS WORSE ALSO. I HAVEN'T SLEPT MORE THAN 2 HOURS A NIGHT SINCE OCTOBER 11TH, 2016 WHEN I HAD THE UNIT PUT IN. SEVERAL VISITS WITH MY DR AND THE REP FROM ST JUDE MEDICAL WAS TOTALLY WORTHLESS. MY DR DOESN'T BELIEVE ANYTHING I SAY ABOUT THE SIDE EFFECTS I'M GETTING FROM THE DRG UNIT. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT GET A MEDTRONICS STIMULATOR OR LET ANYONE ANYWHERE TALK YOU INTO A DRG UNIT UNLESS YOU WANT TO SUFFER MORE THAN YOU ARE ALREADY.

Absolutely, Dr. Despande (spelling ?) and I sat down on my first visit to talk about my history of my surgeries and pain levels along withwhat I've been through the past 20 years. I truly believed he took an interest in what I had to say, however I also felt that he was very aggressive in his course of action on how to treat me. He immediately wanted to cut my pain Med's down to 3-10's a day and schedule me for a the spinal cord stimulator; which I've had already that done once and it didn't work. I couldn't understand why he felt the need to do it again, whether it was for the money or if it's a requirement by these *****s who are making these new rules. I feel that for him to make that decision on my very first visit without trying any other types of medication was kind of hard for me to swallow. However, I went along with his program and once again it didn't work. I have had four back surgeries in which one of them left me with permanent damage to my main nerve going down my right leg. I have talk to orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, four different pain management clinics, and all of them told me the same thing that there is nothing they can do to repair the nerve. Don't get me wrong, Dr. Despande seems to really care about his patients but also is dedicated to what he feels is best despite what you tell him. It's as if this is the first time I've had to deal with this kind of pain. I hope I haven't confused you but my advice is if you know a Doctor who will sit down and really listen to you and you both work out a good plan, then and I would go to that doctor. Please feel free to ask me anymore questions and I will try my best to answer them. Good luck.

Chaos reply to post 83,

Unfortunately you see what inherent issues exist when it comes to becoming proactive in addressing a presumed injustice or policy conflict and petitions are profered.Those whom complained loudest couldn't even muster the energy or time to affix an electronic signature on a online petition.300 signatures is beyond pathetic and discouraging to those who dedicate personal time and resources to establish these actions. If one in every 5 that have been aggrieved by these practices would get involved PERHAPS a change could be realized.But as it stands APATHY is our opponents greatest advantage .FACT!!

I hope this helps.

He surrendered his license prior to the board coming to a decision. This way he can't be found guilty and can still work by going to another state. He was very sneaky.
