Finding A Doc To Prescribe Oxycodone In Springfield Mo (Page 15) (Top voted first)
UpdatedI have a very bad neck injury and I'm taking 4 x 10mg oxycodone a day for pain. I've moved to Springfield recently and all of the doctors offices tell me "Oh, our policy is never to prescribe narcotics." Even the hospitals won't prescribe it and have a family practice docs list and at the bottom of the page the disclaimer states none of the above doctors will prescribe narcotics. I need help anyone know a good doctor with in 200 miles of Springfield Mo. who will prescribe oxycodone?
Och is a hospital owned by doctors. They have clinic offices as well..pain management offices..just about any kind of doctor or specialist you are in need of.
However, to get into their pain management, you must be referred and that takes several weeks to months to get in!!
How do you like the new form of hydrocodone? I've yet to hear of anyone getting good pain relief on it. I would like to know what you think about it compared to the regular hydrocodone? Thank you.
Try Dr. Jennifer Powell. Lake of the ozarks. She is a private doctor. Cash only. But it's only $100 per month, and that covers you 1 time or 30 times a month for whatever reasons!! She is an excellent doctor. Wonderful with pain patients!! Never treats you like a drug seeker, unless you give her a reason. Expect U/A's and pill counts out of the blue. Good luck.
Jess, you are talking to me right? About dr baker at och? Yes i go see him Wednesday. My pch referred my right away because on February 2nd i was a pedestrian hit by a car. Broke my pelvis plus had other injuries. I wont ever fail a U/A. I'm wondering what he will do on my first appointment, whether it be meds or shots or what? I am in severe pain every day and just wonder how fast the pain will go away. I've heard the shots and inj's. help for months and that would be just amazing.
Tink, what happens at the very first appointment? Im nervous. Wonder if i get injections or what
Please let me know if you were able to get into any of these doctors and what the outcome was. Good luck and god bless
I am kind of in your same position. I battled cancer for 7 years. Last year I opted out of anymore treatment, and chose quality of life. Meaning we treat the pain, it's called palliative care. I have two oncologists who both told me this is fine, but that I needed to find an MD who I would see monthly. I did, in another town where I lived at the time. I've seen him monthly for the past two years. He treats whatever I need treating, such as an illiness caused my my cancer, along with pain medication. I take quite a bit everyday, as I have to keep taking my pain meds, so I can keep on top of it. This months visit, the regular md explained that he is going to quit prescribing any pain meds.. PERIOD. He said that my case is different as I will take them until I pass away. He's referring all of his patients to a spine, brain pain management center. I'm okay with that, other than I am self employed, I did have Medicaid, but was dropped due to my car being too valuable, plus I have a checking account. While my car isn't anything special, and my checking account sometimes has a lot of money in it (according to the system, as I bill people for work I do, so basically i don't get a weekly check, but when I get paid it may be for 20k... mind you that has to last me for like 9 months. But because of this it looks like I make a lot. If I were to pay for my medical insurance, my quotes were 1800.00 a month, and that's simply not something I can afford. The initial consult at this place he wants to send me is 600.00, and if they take me it would be 250 a month there after. I have my diagnosis, have been through all of the diagnostics to prove it. Yet they are saying I MIGHT HAVE to do more evaluations, but they won't know until I go in. I haven't a clue as to what to do, as at this point I can't survive without them. This is all, as per my dr a result of the crack down trying to curb the epidemic. I can only hope they look at my records, and are willing go treat me. While I do have cancer, stage 4, I don't know what they expect for someone like me.
How sad that people who need the help can't get it. Why be on this site if u can't help??
Why be on here then if u cannot help others?? Get lost.
Why r u on here if u will not give a doctor name? I have tests that prove my back pain. Does not help for u to post NO info.
Dr Powell taking new people..???? my husband is really bad. Please reply.
Desperate in AK.
Could I get that info as well? I have severe arthritis in my left knee from a sports related injury I can't get a replacement for 2 years and need some relief.
I'm very confused as to why people are saying get off here if your not helping. Who is this directed too? I have given out plenty of information on here. It's only helpful info if you live in St Louis though. But, people post that they are willing to travel hours from Springfield.
Friends, whatever you do, stay away from Dr Tonkin @ Elite Pn Mngmt in Springfield, he'll quote nonexistent laws about opioid limits and leave you feeling like a crackhead for even asking for help.
Without a doubt, the worst example of a doctor I've ever had the misfortune of meeting!
What is the dr name in St louis, I will travel. I'm looking for a pain dr. I'm on oxycodone 30 MG 4 x day zohydos 30 MG 2x day
Please see lines 249, 264, 288 and 290. I have listed the names of multiple contacts in the St. Louis MO area.
Re: Joan (# 272)
Hi Joan, I only pray you're still reading our pleas of medical help that we already have been thru the wringer with Epidurals, PT, Ortho Surgeons etc. I still am looking for a Pain Dr who will help us here in Springfield, Mo. Please if you would let me know of some PMD close to you that i can call and pray to get an appt. I am desperate and have no quality of life. I can't do so many things that i used to do, to hardly survive the day. It's a long story but I hurt too much to type. I am screaming HELP ME. Been on meds since 2005, for many illnesses.

Re: Dee (# 321)
I'm so sorry your in such horrible pain, I know how you feel. I have been getting the shots every 2 weeks. Then last week, he made me have some kind of fusion. The pain he put me through was unbearable. I was reading your post, and then it said (edited for privacy) so, I don't know if I was able to read everything you were wanting to say. Im wondering if the same thing has happened to my posts, and I just can't see it on my end....hmmmm. Im going to post this, then repost the doctors names I have in St. Louis. Please lmk if you can or cannot see them. Again, please do not use me as a reference. Good luck
Re: Mr help (# 8)
I am relocating to Springfield, I have all my medical records, a ten year pain management patient, urgently need to find a doctor. I am passed my refill date & as I was affected by the recent hurricane returning to LA / TX is just not possible. Thank so very much for this forum, anyone facing this knows the horror of pain & what happens when we are without meds. I am also self pay making it extremely difficult to get anyone to listen to me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Re: Joan (# 322)
Yes, I am able to view your message and cant thank you enough for the information you sent to me. I will be forever in your debt. I am getting the care i need to hopefully live what years i have left, with the help of 2 wonderful and gifted specialists. I will never forget you. God Bless debilee 1953 gm
