Doctors Willing To Prescribe Pain Medication (Page 203)
UpdatedCan you tell me about any doctors who can prescribe Vicodin
Nascarjoe, if you signed a pain contract saying you would not have another doctor treat your pain and you get a prescription for pain meds from your pcp, your pain doctor may dismiss you and you may fiind it hard, if not impossible, to find another doctor that will treat your pain.
mm, many doctors request medical records directly from the doctor due to creditability when a patient submits them. It is not unusual for a doctor to take the medical records a patient gives them and request them from their previous doctor. If there is a problem, the patient is dismissed.
Doctor referred me to a pain clinic; I was on my way to an appointment and because I wasn't there at 2:30 when my appointment was at 2:50 they would not see me that day and rescheduled, so I found another pain clinic and I got a referral from my doctor to go there instead. I didn't like the way I was treated by the first pain clinic all cause I was a new patient. They are bulls***. In Muncie Indiana there's nothing but methamphetamine addicts there, it's known for methamphetamine capital. I don't like being treated like I'm the drug addict. I don't even like taking these meds but I have to cause of the pain I'm in 24/7. I didn't have to go through all this in Michigan. Sorry ass addicts ruined our chance to get well again.
BL YES YOU ARE CORRECT, IN MOST CASES THIS IS TRUE, ALL I AM SAYING IS THAT MAYBE THERE IS A CHANCE IF THE PATIENT REALLY THINKS HARD. I HAVE TOLD NEW PAIN DOCTORS THAT THE PREVIOUS DR HAD NO BED SIDE MANNER SO TO SPEAK., IS IT EASY , NO, BUT I HAVE DONE IT A FEW OCCASIONS WITHOUT AGGRAVATION.
I have not signed any contract with any pain clinic this is all new to me I wasn't impressed with the attitude the doctor referred me to so I chose one my self and she willingly referred me to the clinic I wanted but I'll see her before my first visit with clinic I'm
Not desperate about meds I just know what me and my previous doctor in Michigan I had for 14 years had to go through to help with my issues on pain we tried everything under the sun even fentanal patches that didn't work

Your one of the lucky ones I too have an exceptional doctor that prescribes me fentanyl and Dilaudid for my auto immune disease but most folks aren't as blessed as we are.The best way to assure your doctors anonymity is preserved is by not providing it publically not long ago someone did that and my doc was flooded by those seeking meds for other purposes it's sad but true.My initial instinct is to want to help others I believe are suffering too but once you've been burned it's hard to trust again..For the most part folks with legit documentation and failed treatments most docs are open to treat compassionately if you present yourself in a manner that doesn't scream drug seeker.

That's the unfortunate part of relocating and having to change doctors. You can only do so much to try and convince the new doctors what worked for you previously if there not inclined to Prescribe the drugs that your previous Doctor felt comfortable prescribing. More and more the restrictive narcotic mandates make these docs Leary to prescribe anything addictive despite your condition.Its truly a dilema for the legit. Chronic pain patient. I wish you the best in finding one that provides the relief you seek. Regards.
I think I have but this is a liberal government issue no thanks to our drug addict president that no longer in power thank god
BL IF and when a paint doctor is no longer your doctor the contract is no longer in effect
Nascarjoe, you have to keep calling the clinic you were referred to, this has happened to me before and sometimes the referral gets misplaced or it's not a priority to them. Everyone nowadays has to be very proactive in their own health care. Just call them again and ask when you can get your appointment scheduled. Just giving you some advice, and yes we are all left to feel like we are junkies. One of my doctors who prescribes me my anxiety meds told me to be very careful at a new doctor when asking for pain meds, his wife is a doctor and when she finds out a potential new patient is on narcotics the receptionist is told to tell the person they are not taking new clients. Point blank, it sucks to be a chronic pain sufferer, everyone has to jump through hoops to get a good, caring, compassionate doctor these days. We are all in the same boat and it is frustrating, aggravating, and very discouraging to say the least.
Thanks I got my doctor to refer me to another clinic cause they cancelled me as I was almost there my appointment was for 2:50 but I was to be there at 2:30 for some other type of paperwork they never mentioned and didn't like their attitude so I'm waiting on on other clinic to give me appointments
mm, a pain contract does not have to be in effect for a doctor to decide he does not want the person for a patient. When a pain contract t is broken, it can be a red flag. That is what most doctors look at.
BL, AGAIN YOU Are CORRECT, I am just saying if the patient did nothing wrong, or explain what they did and why they did it. But your post said another doctor would not take the patient if he/she had a contract with another doctor and is not true. That is what I was responding to you about.
Marshall Keith Gardner in NE Philadelphia. Use to get four 80mg Oxycontin and eight 30mg Roxicodone a day. Be prepared to pay a few $100 for initial visit and like $150 per additional visit.
hi my name is treasa and I am in sever pain in my knees ,, I had surgery a few years ago and my pain level on most days is a 10 and I cant do much but the doctor I had is no longer in his practice and has move to a clinic that no longer accepts my insurance or fills pain meds can u help me get my meds and do u take MDWISE INSURANCE
Hey is there any doctors around or near Augusta Georgia
There is a doctor in Chicago who helps my brother out with his pain very much.
Nascarjoe, it sound like to me they gave you a line of bs when they would not see you and it was their fault for not telling you to be there at 2:30. Better off getting another doctor hope it works out, keep me posted.
Sms2289,
There are allot of good doctors in chi town I have one that prescribes my oxi's and Dilaudid and has for many years but my cp condition is documentable.Surgery,Interventional therapy,Treatment and lesser narcotic meds proved ineffective.Im honest with him and rarely use the prn meds as prescribed and he is fine with continuing narcotic pain protocols for me and others I have met there.I believe most reputable doctors around are open to treat patients for pain as long as they have appropriate documentation to justify the prescribing of powerful narcotics.
Tresa,
Your best bet is to contact your insurance provider for participating physicians.Then call them and schedule an appt. for an examination.
Very few doctors prescribe the same meds that prior doctors have unless in their medical opinion it's warranted.
