Doctors Willing To Prescribe Pain Medication (Page 150)
(Newest replies first)

Can you tell me about any doctors who can prescribe Vicodin

REPORT

ONLY Pain docs. Every other doc will blow you off. And they'll make you get an MRI to confirm that your not shopping for pain pills. The good old days are gone!

Hello I have chronic kidney failure, chronic migraines, and neuropathy pain in my legs, I was recently diagnosed with some joint condition which makes me feel like I'm 90yrs old. I'm only 28 I understand doctors don't want to get "young" people addicted to pain meds but some of us actually need them.! My current PC doc is at providence and refuses to give pain meds. I was on them yrs ago with my previous nephrologist. Does anyone know of a doctor in the Portland area that actually prescribes pain medication?

Hello,

I have been taking Norco's and Soma's for some years now. I am 57 yrs. old, and I have my medical records. Recently, my doctor told me he was afraid of losing his license so he would not prescribe those medications any more. He does random drug panels to make sure his patients do not abuse drugs. I never have had any problems with that and he seemed sincere when he apologized for this situation. I have bulging and fusing disks and proof of MRI, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Severe Acute Depression, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Fibromyalgia, GERD, Arthritis, Sciatica, Chronic lower back pain, Spinal Stenosis, Degenerative Disk Disease, Severe feet and leg cramps, Post Empyema, Post Lobar Pneumonia, Obesity, History of Headaches, Anxiety Disorder, Hypertension, Low Blood and Dyshydrosis. Sugar,Plueisy. My legs, back, hips, knees, neck and head hurt so bad, I can hardly do anything at all right now. At least when I was getting my medicine it helped enough that I was able to get up and do a little bit around my house and with my grand-children. But witout it I'm just suffering uncomfortable and spend much of my time crying. I am miserable. I also have a copy of my bloodwork the doctor just had done last month. I live in Fresno, Ca., but can get a ride to one of our near-by counties if necessary. I hope someone out there can refer me or something.

Thank-you!!
Sincerely,
Angela

Hello "ImHurting,"

I don't live where you live, so I can't help you, find a doctor. But, I am going through the same thing you are. My doctors, two primaries, disappeared on me. The first one, then the second one. Now, it is hard for me to find a doctor who believes in chronic pain, and for me to get my medications, I need to live and care for another disabled person.
So, I started a petition, for us all. Because the DEA is the reason why this is happening to you, to all of us. They are putting us all in their, "War on Drugs," thinking we are drug addicts and only using our drugs, (medications), for recreational purposes. They don't understand we are injured, sick or have had bad operations that didn't fix what is wrong with us, so we live in chronic pain, the rest of our lives. They don't have a medical background either. So, now, we are all having challenges to get the doctors we need, the medications/patches that have worked for us. So, far, many have signed my petition about the "Oppression of Chronic Pain Sufferers, etc." which I wrote about in my post, below, #1358. Please scroll down to that post, (posts are all numbered) and read what I had to say. Then, click on the link to sign the petition. No, you don't have to give out any information, you don't have to pay to do so, but if you sign it, there is power in numbers and this petition will automatically be sent to the President, all government officials, the DEA etc., explaining how things need to be changed for us. How we are not drug addicts, we are real people with real pain, even though we don't have cancer. We will live with our pain, as bad as cancer patients have it, longer, for some of us, will not die from our pain. But, suffer terribly, affecting our lives, intensely.
So, please, scroll down, when you have a moment, and please sign the petition. The more signatures I get, the more we all will be heard, to get our doctors back, our patches and medications and to be able to live a more humane life. Please, also pass the link, on to those you know who are in the same boat. Just copy/paste what I wrote, below, in #1358 and send it to all you know. Friends, relatives, those who know you are suffering and might suffer too. Help me, help you.
Thank you for reading this long reply and may GOD Bless you and keep you...
Always,
Marianne

There are a few places in north county that truly believe and can tell by scans etc... That it's not an addiction or "its in your head". When you have images, scans, disco grams etc.. It is clear, nerve roots will be impinged, herniations large or small hurt, stenosis and people with back pain/problems know that's just the tip of the ice burg. So, great dr who believe the pain from what they see are dr mark stern (neurosurgeon) he is amazing and has done 2 surgeries on me...(not his a**hole PA) Dr Bradley chesler in Escondido. He does EMG's and is a PM dr! With proof, again is Eric luisang he's a PA that use to be in north county but has moved to riverside. He is awesome and if you just talk to him honeslty and you should all of your drs, you are fine. I have a dr now who has been my primary for 4 years, so I only use her. My other drs offer to prescribe, but I know and trust her and she knows me better than all the drs, and she tries different combinations trying to get it right. She is an amazing dr, and for that I cannot give her name, in case it is someone just seeking meds. She is trusting and would never want her put in a position where she is being abused. She has been a life saver for me and for that, I thank my lucky starts!!!! Without her I would be bed ridden or worse! When you find a great dr, there is nothing better

Hi Skoski,

I created a petition to The Arizona State House, The Arizona State Senate, and 4 others which says:

"Chronic Pain Patients have severe, ongoing pain, that won't go away, with no chance of relief, except for strong medications. But, now, "The War on Drugs," doesn't just go after the drug cartels and illegal drug smugglers and abusers, they are focusing on real patients, with chronic pain, suffering terribly, yet are now thought as drug abusers. "

Will you sign this petition? Click here:
petitions.moveon.org/sign/stop-the-judgement-of?source=c.em.cp&r_by=10582339

Or copy & paste the link in your address bar. I think if more people sign my petition and the site sends it out to all, I believe we can turn the DEA's oppression of real chronic pain patients into leaving our doctors, our medications and our pharmacies alone! Including the VA! I wish everyone in the DEA and the others hurting us, will suffer greater pain than we have, if that's possible. Then maybe they wouldn't be so judgemental of real people not abusing their prescriptions, needing them for their intense pain!

I wish you all the best and may GOD Bless you...

Always!

Marianne, Put Medicare AND Medicare Savings Program in your search bar. Put Medcare AND Extra Help in your search bar. That should take you to the Medicare.gov website that explains both programs. If the $104 for Medicare Part B isn't being taken out of your SSDI each month, you must be receiving help.

The va has now opted ou of pain medication and now prescribe methadone instead. Per our va dr this is happening at every va facility. Basically we r all s*** out of luck. Why? My guess is the i****s who sell their prescriptions on the street have caused accidental overdoses. So those of us in need and take as prescribed get to suffer in constant pain. The dea can't control the streets so they are now controlling DR'S civilian and military alike, pharmacy and hospitals. What is our recourse for help? I have found none. If you do. Please share.

Thank you, DL for your suggestion. I didn't realize there is extra help. I am not paying for my Medicare, as I understand most people pay for it, on a monthly basis. So, this makes me wonder if I am already getting some help? I'm not sure, but I do know, I've paid into Social Security, all my life, starting at age 15 and in one year alone, I paid over $25,000. I think it was a company mistake, but I never noticed it, until I got a statement from Social Security telling me I had done this. I don't know if this is the reason why I am not paying for Medicare now. I don't think I have Medicade, like my sister has, with her heart condition, so, the only thing I know for sure, is that I have Medicare. I sure wish I knew about help about paying the co-pays, because I was engaged for six years, who was taking care of my finances, thinking the whole time he was paying my co-pays. But, when he left, after my supporting two businesses of his, and his second one becoming very successful, but not paying into the household, he left me with one of his young, rich customers, who gave him a Harley Davidson to keep, brand new. I didn't find out how he ran up my credit, ruining it, and used up my money, not paying any of my medical bills, so now I am being sued by all the bills he didn't pay, but said he was. I am happy he is out of my life, for he was very abusive, selfish and I later found out how he has done this to other women, too. Here I thought, when my neighbors told me they were friends with his mother, that I was marrying into a fine family. But they held information from me, I guess they were hoping he would change with me. Ha! So, I sure could use the extra help, but don't know how to go about it. If you know, DL, please let me know, okay? Again, thanks for your kind posts, I do enjoy reading all of your posts and everyone's on this site. May God Bless you, Always!

Marianne, I hope this new dr works out. Have you looked into Medicare Savings Program & Extra Help ? They are for low income people of Medicare. The Medicare Savings Program will pay your Medicare Premium, deductible, etc and Extra Help will help with Medicare Prescription Part D.

Casey,
I haven't been on this site for a little bit, being in much pain and sick from the high heat, in my area, which is very unusual, where I live. So, forgive me for not replying to your kind post, mentioning me, in it. I am so happy to hear about your husband and the medication he is on. I will write the Gabapentin down on my list of possible medications that might help me, too. I am hoping a doctor, a lady highly recommended to me, by three people, will see me, when she starts accepting new patients, in July. I will ask her about this medication, as I am now down to 15 mgs/day of morphine, but take two Norcos, in the morning and at bedtime. I used to only take it when my pain levels were very, very high. But, wasn't addicted to it, because it was only once in awhile. Now, I am in more pain, with restless legs, now, but am hopeful, taking myself off of the morphine, will allow me to be seen by a doctor. I hate being turned down, by them, thinking I'm an addict, especially now, since I have been having many chest pain attacks, too. I have a leaky heart valve and have been told my MCTD is possibly causing pulmonary and heart distress. Plus, my scoliosis of my spine is really curved now, which is also a factor of affecting my lungs and heart. Maybe this doctor will give me an MRI, to see how bad things are, for my first primary denied me, saying "it will cost the taxpayers money," when I was a taxpayer too! So, thank you, for your recent post and the info about the Gabapentin, your husband is on. It gives me hope, maybe others, too. I am so happy to hear he is happier and less painful. May GOD Bless you, I'm still keeping you, in my prayers... Always!
