REPORT

yeah, I'm 33 and been looking after my dad since mid summer and issue was with my shoulder first and a combination of diff physical activities are related, however the day to day basis requires my well being for him being so weak and sick and it's day to day. My problem is I was treated with a shoulder injection and was prescribed a fair amount of norco prior to my orthopedic visit but the injection didn't heal the problem. Helped yes. The Tramadol prescribed I will not take due to side effects. My lower back issue is something that I believe is been active longer and I've just irritated the area much worse recently by laying off the shoulder a bit. Now, with 3 visits including 2 to urgent care where I received 10-12 5mg norco and 7.5 norco the 2 separate times paying my copay of 65 under my ins. and the Doctors Care visit where I received some norco as well along with some anti-inflammatory meds, prednisone would make it appear as if I'm "Dr. Shopping", the current terminology when I've basically been seeking the meds that have helped along the way and nothing more. I finally have an appt with a new Dr. made where I may be able to obtain a substantial prescription with a refill perhaps........and a pain mgmt referral that seems to be needed without being referred to as a junkie or getting red flagged etc.........but what do you do if you run out of a medication that lasts 3 days ya know???.......and how do you avoid becoming a red flagged junkie and "dr shopper" without seeking various locations for help?

hey there.........I was wondering about how you got prescribed percocet.........I've taken norco for a couple months but I've been seen twice for my shoulder through urgent care and migraines, and had an injection by an orthopedic doc for the bursitis in the shoulder. I've got a serious sharp pain in my lower back comparable to the kidney stone second round at various times and ranges of motion that may have been onset by being overactive at the gym and the lifting of my father who can't walk due to cancer in and out of the shower. I have an appt with an MD on the 20th but not enough med to last until then and the norco doesnt help much with the back as I'd hoped. I also take prednisone as my anti inflammatory. The trainer at the gym referred me to him and said hes good but I'm hesitant because of the Family Medicine title. I think I could benefit from a month of the use of the percocet which should be a little stronger and the prednisone as long as there isn't something too major.......I haven't had an xray on the lower back yet...........??? Any advice?

Jessica- I live near Riverside (Anahiem), and my pain man. Clinic is AMAZING! They have clinics in Orange, Fullerton, & Whittier, CA. I paid $250 for the initial appt. & $80 a month per visit, and they are really really nice. It's a cash only clinic, but WELL worth it. Hopefully you are able to understand the website (.com)

FYI: I SURVIVE on disability so cash docs don't work for me as I can barely pay the doc bills I have now! If I could afford the initial $300 consultation fee, I wouldn't be posting here. But, I can't, hence my presence here!

I agree!! I am in Minnesota and have been dealing with Rheumatoid Arthritis, on and off, for the last 36 1/2 years (diagnosed at age 4!!)!! I am at this moment running into brick walls EVERYWHERE I GO FOR HELP! Because of one treatment I received at MAPS Pain Clinic, I now have permanent neurologic pain at the base of my skull which causes migraines from time to time. And the treatment was supposed to RELIEVE the pain in my neck from spinal issues, NOT CREATE MORE!!!! Now, my primary doctor refuses to manage my pain meds, as well as my Rheumatologist, yet BOTH HAVE DIRECTLY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT SEE ME AS AN ADDICT!!!! And to top it all off, the pain meds I do have no longer work well, if at all, for the neck problem. MAPS wants to cut back my pain meds, despite evidence that the opposite is needed, OR, they want to push me in the direction of costly injections or other therapies that have all failed in the past. The more pain clinic contacts I have, the more I feel that the are ONLY in it for the big money, not to actually help the patients they are supposedly treating!

So, having said that, are there any pain doctors in MN, THAT ACCEPT INSURANCE, who would be willing to prescribe the PROPER MEDICATION & DOSAGE?! PLEASE HELP!!

Thank u Jim for trying, unfortunately when we called the number she was told no current docs in our area...sigh:( Watching my best friend go thru this feels like having your heart ripped out. Eight years she has been on pain meds, never taking more than she was told, and sometimes dealing with more pain than she needed to. But, we shall not give up. Thank you again for trying, my prayers to all of you who are going through this.

NO, they won't do it.......unless your freaking spinal cord is hanging out.............good luck.........I've paid 225 with insurance this month to get about 40 pills from two diff locations.......which is also frowned upon...........here's an idea, stab yourself in the leg..........then you might just might get a prescription

and I'm aware that pain killers aren't cures already.........that has been iterated thoroughly. But why have the meds if you want distribute them. I shouldn't have to be dying. Instead you'd rather give out these test alternative drugs on the market to watch your a**. Hope you enjoy your new BMW, or Mercedes for Christmas this year after you get your bonus for all the people you've screwed over the last year..........and I hope you do get a tax increase as well............

I understand the class II drugs being more secured......but class III, which includes all vicodin, norco, etc......it's ridiculous to give a 15 pill script to someone who is actively trying to get over a shoulder issue, lower back, etc.....migraines...all of which I deal while I suffer emotionally as well caring for my cancer stage 4 sick father with little time. Hey Doctors, lighten the f****** up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking for a doctor in Oklahoma Tulsa are would be good. My mom's doctor is no longer practicing and the doctor she has been using is now taking her off Xanax because he saw on tv that it could cause death. If anyone knows of a doctor in Tulsa to stillwater area who could help I'd really appreciate it.
