Doctors Who Will Prescribe Pain Medication In Rhode Island (Page 7)

I am looking for an MD or Pain clinic that will prescribe pain medication in Rhode Island. I have 4 herniated discs, nerve damage in my leg, severe migraines. My former Md said that he could not longer prescribe due to the regulations, I dont want to have to move, that would be crazy to have to go through that, but I also do not want to continue living night and day in Agony, with not one Md that has any compassion, it seems all they care about is to look out for themselves, I only take 2 pain medications that I believe are both in class 1, but when you talk to a doctor about pain, they tell you to take tylenol. I am tired of theses doctors just caring about themselves, if you have a patient like myself, that has the MRI's and Catscans to show what my pain level is, they should be a little more compassionate. I am not able to have surgery at this time, not until my daughter is driving and able to get out on her own, grocery store, ect. I would really appreciate any advise, I sleep with a heat pad every night on my back, but when I go to get up, the pain is unbearable.

Diane,

I see your a long time poster on here and feel your pain.. indeed your correct fiorinal w/ cod. 30 mg is technically weaker than hydrocodone or oxycodone. However it contains the barbiturate (butabarbital) and the opiate (codeine) along with other non controlled additives but the theory behind removing patients is it causes double the addiction potential and increases the
possibility for multiple complex cocktailing with other substances. Most states won't even allow there prescribers to write for them even though it's an excellent migraine modality used for decades safely by compliant patients. There in is the rub, uncompliant patients drug abusers and doctor shoppers have caused the restriction of its use in most areas. Even in places where still prescribed very few pharmacy's stock them and must be ordered by special request. Hope that helps explain some of the confusion regarding this medication. This was a popular Rx in NJ for decades until the early 2000's when most docs discontinued it's use recommending torodal, tramadol or worse some lame OTC preparations......

Hi Kitty Kat, love the name! I was also under the understanding that they could only have 100 Patient's, but if he has other doctors working with him, that she be allowed, becuase they could each be seeing 100 People. Would you mind if I ask where you go, I was with one Group Biltmore Pain, but they hired new people that don't listen and want to give strong narcotic's. I would really appreciate it
thanks
Diane

I am looking for a pain doc. in RI. I have had two back surgeries. I was taking OxyContin 30mg and oxycodone so I tried to cut it down to 20mg which I found out painfully. I tried to get put back up but the next thing I knew I was cut down to 10mg. All that does is make me suffer. I need someone to do shots and take care of meds. Please help.

Don't think the druggies ruined it I believe it was the doctors. The ones that were writing scripts like crazy to everyone Including the druggies that's where this began.

I wish I could help all of us that are in real pain, not the druggies. There is a Dr, his name is Dr. Chopra on Smithfield Avenue in Pawtucket pain management. If you're in pain and you have the documents he may help you. That's all I can try to help you with.

Tori, is there any way that you can give me your doctor's name? I myself have no hip. I have no pelvic socket. I have a rod in my back. They try to push me on Gabapentin and a 10 milligram oxycodone every 6 hours. I can't sleep, I'm in so much pain. This doctor here wants to give me something like Nestor or Seroquel for sleep. I haven't got a good night's sleep in probably 5 months. Is your doctor still available? If you can post back I would appreciate it. Thank you.

There is a pain clinic in Attleboro, MA near Sturdy Hospital. I can't think of her name, Susan something, but she is in the same Plaza as Dr. Burtt, the Cardiologist (You can see the hospital from the parking lot). If you are a drug seeker or slightly abuse she will kick you to the curb. If you in fact need pain meds, she writes them. My husband continued on his Morphine, and she upped it, while he was deciding on a 4th hip surgery, but this time a hip replacement in his late 30's, and already had a cervical fusion. If this b**** likes you, she won't flip if you don't come in every month for an appointment if you have to work, but you must quit smoking, monthly drug panels, and no notice pill counts.

No the doctors are covering their asses. My doctor discharged me because my U/A was clean, and proceeded to tell me if I smoke a cigarette before my appointment she won't see me. It's getting just a wee bit absurd.
