Missy 437--If you are talking about MAPS, no, they will NOT give you a prescription. You would be wasting your time going there.

And I'm tired of all the people taking narcotics just for fun making it hard for those of us who are in pain. Every time you turn on the t.v. all you hear about is who's in rehab or died of overdoses, and it just gets worse and worse for us!!!!!! They really piss me off!!!!

Anyone else feel like I do?--One more doctor tells me "Everybody has back pain", or like the doctor yesterday-"Everybody has lordosis" I'm going to punch them!!!!!! Oh, I've had this too--in a condescending tone--narcotics for back pain. Everybody has back pain. You shouldn't be on narcotics for back pain. I wish she could live with my back for just one day!!!!!

The OTC meds may ease the pain very little, but as with hydros most have acetametiphine or tylonal which is poison, they put in 325, 500 05 650 mg of acet. to stop the abuse factor when drug companies know it is poison and will rot your liver. It does littel to discourage abuse of taking more than 3 or 4 a day which the only reason they cannot give more than 4 QID is because of the legal amount of acet. not the pain medicine itself. If you are taking more than 5 a day of the 10/500 or 650 mg then you need to do your liver a favor and do a CWE when taking them. The cold water axtraction {CWE} will take out the poison and leave you with only the pain medicine. Your liver and health will thank you, I know it is hard to manage with only 4 a day so we do what we have to do and take more, but get rid of the poison acet. with a CWE if you are taking more than 5 a day.

Hi Cathy @429~ I was very interested in what you had shared as I did a paper on our state of healthcare in the U.S versus other countries. We had a chance to move towards the kind of medical care you speak of a couple of years ago starting with a public option, but then fear mongers on the right scared most people back into believing that by having private insurers running the show they have protected their individual right to freedom. I say "hogwash!" I have friends in Germany and in France. When I tell them of the difficulty I have in trying to have my pain meds increased to no avail, they shake their heads and say as you do, "They feel sorry for me." I too, had my health go down when I turned 45. I was hit from behind in a motor vehicle accident while sitting at a red light and had the same thing happen again the following year. What it did was aggravate an already degenerative disc disease that I didn't know I even had until my MRIs were explained to me. I have bulging discs at L-1 thru 5, S-1 and T-4. I hurt so bad most days, but time and time again I have explained this to my Physical Medicine Rehab Doctor and she blows it off. There are now laws in almost 50% of our states surrounding pain med and pain management. You are so right when you say its as if the oath went right out the window. Now Doctors are so scared of treating their patients that the majority of patients in the very same situations that you and I are in hurt miserable day in and day out. I have to be careful. I have friends who when I am hurting especially bad offer me their stronger pain meds or a fentanyl patch. Believe me, I use them. However, I have to refrain from anything as my 2 month appointment roles around to avoid being discovered through the random urine tests they give us. If you have read this site you know that more times than not, folks are just trying to get along in the day and will use things to do so, but play the same game I do when comes to going to see the doctor. I found your note uplifting. Its good to know that somewhere in the world the majority are not punished, neglected and made to do things that now would be considered "illegal," because of the mistakes made by those that abused the drugs. Thank you for your post! Maybe I need to go house hunting in Sweden. :)

Missy--where is the cash only place? I'm on GA and getting my meds free, but if I can't find a dr. I might be interested. I have to lye down a bit, now, though, as my back is starting to bark. BBL

Missy--if you're talking to me, M.A.P.S. --everyone there was very cold and uncaring, they didn't give me a urine test, the doctor said he would NOT prescribe narcotics--it would be unethical (?)-- I was in tears, withdrawing from the Vicodin my gp had given me for the last 2 years. I went for back pain and noone there even LOOKED at my back--I could have had a football-sized tumor growing out of my back and they wouldn't have even noticed. They said I had to have an MRI before they could do anything(physical therapy), which I had the next morning, and I haven't been back since or heard from them, so I guess the MRI came out okay. But it was a lay down MRI and I told the guy my back's okay lying down, it hurts when I'm upright, but he didn't have a stand-up MRI. Anyway, I know others who went to MAPS and weren't given pain meds or were refused treatment altogether if they had meds and had taken more than they were supposed to.

Don't waste your time with M.A.P.S--they will take you off all your meds and try physical therapy and behavior therapy--whatever that is. They don't believe in pain meds.

I am very sorry for all your troubles. I think that's possibly part of my problem--I've been healthy all my life until this back thing. I think they're more likely to prescribe narcotics if you've had a lot of surgeries. They can't see my back pain.

I've been to MAPS--they're a joke. They don't believe in narcotics. They think everything can be solved w/ physical therapy, which I've already done.
