Doctors Who Will Prescribe Pain Medication In Rhode Island (Page 9) (Top voted first)

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.

I am looking for a pain management doctor as well. I had a spinal fusion of L4 L5 six months ago, I have failed back surgery, it was not a success, I am in more pain than before the surgery, I can't sit more than ten minutes, same with standing, walking. I have a significant amount of scar tissue pressing down on my nerves that causes this horrific pain. I have spinal stenosis, degenerative discs, severe arthritis, I have had two failed back surgeries, two ACL knee surgeries, I am getting really depressed because of the constant chronic pain, I used to be very active, working out everyday, horseback riding, riding my Harley, I have no quality of life anymore, if anyone can refer me to a doctor or pain management I would greatly appreciate it, I am not looking for hard core meds, just vicodin that takes the edge off the pain,so I can at least fuction, I am in my 50's with an 8 year old son who is very active, I can't keep up please help me!

Hi. Sorry to hear of your situation. I just saw my doctor last Thursday & was told he just received new regulations from the fda(?) that day limiting what he could prescribe me. He said that for my next refill the MAXIMUM I could get was 20 pills, so say 1 weeks worth for me. I can't be going to the doctors every week!! My life IS ruled by pain. He said I could go to a pain clinic where they would give me something stronger (I do NOT want anything stronger!!!) or he said I should get my medicinal marijuana license. I do NOT want to go to work high though..... I'm stuck & like u am now trying to figure it out. As I said I do NOT want anything stronger & im open to medical marijuana but do NOT want to be high everyday.... I'm miserable and since my last appointment I'm now very scared & worried as to how life will be as pain rules my life. I wish I had better information to give to you.... good luck! If you find anything/anyone please post here. I also got a referral to a "witch" doctor chiropractor who supposedly works miracles so
I'm now trying to get in with her...... time will tell. I have major problems between L5&S1. Herniated & bulging discs & also other bones that I was told were fractured and never healed properly. I also have fibromyalgia..... ugh. Life!!! I'm not even 40 & im besides myself... best of luck to u

Try this thing called Kratom. A friend of mine actually was abusing Vicodin & used this to get off of them... I need pain management yet can't get it. It's NOT easy or even comfortable but the Kratom pills have helped me. Mind u its nearly 1:11 pm & I have to be up at 5, haven't slept & am in pain with 7 lidocaine patches on..... not a pro but totally understand what u must be going thru. Wish I had more info but am in the same situation as u. Say 4-5 years ago my friend got me the Kratom so I could wean off the Vicodin & I did it and was OK.... at this point I would just love to only take a vitamin daily!! My doctor wanted me to be on medical marijuana but I don't/can't go about my day "high"...

I need to a doctor who will continue to prescribe me my oxycodone. I've been dealing with degenerative discs. Went along with the doctors suggestion of back surgery and I'm still in severe pain. I have rods and screws in my spine. Inj's. absolutely don't work for me and my doctor wants me to see a pain management doctor and they all do inj's. At this point my doctor is cutting me off, each week I get less oxycodone and my days of pain are growing.

Dr. Timothy Lowney Jr. Central St. Seekonk MA. 1-508-761-6785. His office is right off the RI Line, within 15 minutes of Lincoln, Cumberland, Pawtucket, less than 10 of the Attleboro's. He is amazing!!! Affiliated with Norwood Hospital. He has another location also. Staff is awesome too. I have had 7 spinal surgeries and was on oxycontin 80mg x3, 10mg x3, flexeril, xanax, etc. When I started to see him almost 3 years ago.

He weeds out those who are chasing a high, and is the most compassionate doctor to those who are in need of chronic pain relief.

Plenty of doctors will. Dr. Tromanhauser in Boston is THE BEST! IF you need RI, go to RI Hospital.

Hi. Can u tell me more about Dr. timothy? I'm a RI resident although I recently moved back so my license is out of state & my passport is based out of a home I own in MA. I've been seeing a new doctor who so far seems to be HELPING so I definitely am NOT looking to "feel high". I just need to be able to function through a day so I can meet my family's needs and mine. Due to my back I took a corporate "job" for the sole purpose of getting my family & I insurance at less than the 30k i had been paying as Alan SBO.... These people who abuse hurt the people who r really in pain!!! I NEED HELD!!! Advice? Thoughts?
