Help Need Pain Management Doctor Southeast Mi - Southgate Taylor Southfield Wanye County Michigan (Top voted first)

Updated

I just move here from phoenix where I was on Percocet 10mg, MS Contin(morphine sulfate 100mg), or synthetic opaite will work too bupanorphine, Tiban i think is on. and Soma. I don't have inscurance and I am looking for a Dr. or PM clinic that will write opiod medications. Anywhere in the Detroit Metro area would be nice. And since no Insurance I need it to be a cheap as possible. Also, I need to know ahead of time that the Dr will prescribe Percocet Oxycodone MS Dilaudid. I have been taking over 300 10mg Norco's a month for the pain and I know it is affecting my liver. Please if anyone can help me. And sorry about the spelling errors.

to refute that last reply, Dr. shopping is not what this lady is doing, and those who don't know the correct terminology for things should keep their mouth shut and stop calling people names. Dr. shopping is when someone goes to many many different doctors at the same time getting prescriptions for the same drug so they can have an unlimited supply of drugs. That is not what this lady is trying to do, she is simply trying to find a doctor that will treat her, one doctor. So before hypocrites like you start calling names and accusing people of doing illegal things you should find out what those terms mean first. It is people like you and your ignorance that cause people that are in pain and anxiety not to get the treatment they need.

You are right. If I walked in and asked for a certain pain med, they would be suspicious. I don't mind being examined or them ordering or looking at my MRI's (3 of them), Two EMG's, and about 10 differerent X-rays. I don't mind them consulting with my neurologist or rheumatologist. I just want to be able to have some quality to my life and be able to get out of bed. Update* I did just go to a doctor who was recommended to me by a friend. He seems caring and sympathetic though the first visit was $150.00 and additional appointments are $100. That is hard when you have no insurance and we are living on only my husband's income of 30K a year with three kids. For now..he is changing some of my meds to get me on a better regimen. The pharmacist I go to thought the change was good too. Honestly I just want to be able to walk, interact with my family, cook them dinner and have some sort of good life without being in pain so bad all the time. But, I also do not want to sleep all the time either. I send best wishes to everyone who is in pain to be able to live some sort of decent life without being in pain all the time. I am so so tired of being in pain. Additionally, if you look at me you would not know that I was in pain so it is hard for people (even my hubby) to understand how much I hurt.

Being a disabled vet an saying it makes it easier to get paun meds kinda makes me pissed off. First I do believe that Vietnam veterans are among the most overlooked vets, It was a bad war...I help an older Vietnam vet who was recognized for his service and multiple tours. He eould of been what we call special ops today..he trained to kill hand to hand, he has 14 deaths he struggles with to this day. He never used drugs of any nature, even tho he should of. He did drink some but not an alcoholic. He suffers from PTSD, his legs from the knee down are pure scars. The scars and pain come from running through the jungle bush the north Koreans would burn on purpose, when a bomb dropped he described how he had to run, run like hell to get away from the zone that would eradicate all oxygen in the area. The enemy knew these sharp burnt bushes would tear through their clothes injuring some enough to drop them before exiting that zone. He's 77 now yet those scars are extreme. He's been in pain all these years, the list of issues are many yet he takes a blood pressure med n nothing else. He walks over 8 miles per day in any weather we have. In Colorado that can be 115° Summer, -35° with wind chill in winter. Yet he's considered 30% disabled an receives 440$ month from the VA. I've appealed it, but no matter what I do he's not getting a response. This man is 100% disabled. He received a special baton only gave once a year to one vet aprox 9-11 years ago..he was one of the most dangerous men in war.. my compassion for some of our vets is extremely high, they've paid the ultimate price.yet its extremely difficult for me to say I think it's fair or equal for vets to abuse the system. To receive multiple drugs from multiple doctors while doing street drugs has created laws that prevent ppl like me who want to die daily as we are so UNDER MEDICATED it makes each day a choice if this is the day I'll put a bullet through my head. Pain is taken too lightly. So while SOME disabled vets are receiving 100% disability that means a 5,000$ automatic check from the VA, half of their home and car taxes are paid, they get paid to travel to n from the doctor, receive dental and vision, the rest of us who couldn't join the military, as we all can't or who'd run the bank the checks get cashed at, grocery stores, hospitals, road crews, basically anyone who wasn't in the service gets a fraction in disability compared to their benefits and now im reading...I was a vet so it was easy for me to abuse drugs now each state will soon be on a database that runs your name to make sure ppl aren't using 2-4 doctors, were given UA's to make sure they we're not using street drugs. The more I learn how easy it was for my neice to collect over 1200 month and receive multiple sources of help for a tiny ankle injury she had AFTER she left iraq where he job was to basically get drunk, as she was a office clerk on a secure base, it makes me sick some vets can admit how sleezy they REALLY are. My niece no exception. I view her as a worthless pile using the system. She never once was in harms way but tells ppl she was facing death daily. My ass! The letters and movies she sent me are not expressing any fear or (intelligence)..just a non stop party. She actually admits that it mad her mad at xmas one job of decorating military vehicles. That alone speaks to the safety zone she was in...the vehicle's were decorated!! My nephew in the 82nd airborne seen combat, he was one of the third (I don't know what it's called in military terms) group sent in when the war we are still in started. He does NOT use the system.yet like old Bill he is scared for life. Thousands are suffering who were injured are receiving little help with pain here in colorado as well, your post of all you wrote mr. vet makes me sick. I have no respect for your service or care less about your pain. I'd rather you suffered. when I think your one of many who created a living hell on earth for those of us who suffer much more than you..and than so easily say "it made it easier" how does your actions now affect the rest of us?

I'm going to start looking up major tragedies in the past, small aircraft crashes that made news, or maybe I'll say I sustained my injuries in a terrorist attack, think the doctor will pity me more and help me?? Lets all try it! I'll print your little post, add it to my book that im leaving behind the day I cant take no more pain! I'm listing each doctor who didn't take me seriously, along with a lot of video I take of ppl on SSD N SSI WHO I pay to help me take a bath n tidy my house, they talk about how much n easily they make money...yet back paid 20,000 by disability for faking. Funny thing is they to have the meds they need, and DON'T need. They sell them! Hopefully someone will send a photo of my family along with my journal to a newpaper listing each dr who decided my pain was "not that bad"!...I also hope the dictors, yes d***s nit docs suffer deeply when my autopsy report shows just how bad my spine REALLY was...im seriously disgusted at this "vet" ... thanks so much for the hell you helped create for so so many of us being undertreared. I hope your still alive when my pain limits are met, if you don't think you have bad blood on your hands yet, remember you will upon my suicide...if anyone whos being under treated medically for their pain an the excuse is: too many ppl abused the system, understand why I said my blood will be on your hands, others will only see it as it was my choice, you haven't suffeted long and hard enough yet. I'll remember you vet the next time I see a real vet with honor..that'll be tomorrow.

Hi George,

Listed below are a couple websites specific to locating pain management doctors in a given area. All you have to do is input your city or zip code for narrowed results: {link removed because site no longer exists}

You can give this other site a try too if you come up with different results for some reason or another:
http://www.wellness.com/find/pain%20management%20specialist

Most of the results you will find also list a phone number for that specific doctor; I'd suggest calling up a number of them to see if they can prescribe the type of medication you are seeking to manage your pain. You may also want to ask what the cost of seeing this doctor is, without insurance. This type of information can generally be provided by the receptionist (the one who answers the phone at the doctor's office).

Please post back if you have any other questions or concerns regarding this.

Move to EUROPE!!! Move! I am. The FDA N DEA CAN KISS MY CRIPPLED ASS!! What will the future say about how they are treating us now??? Pretty bad! It's 2014, no one should live with pain!! Abusers will abuse, that's the nature, but it's not a logical reason for ppl to suffer!!!

Get out while you can! The Netherlands, Germany, France...ect believe in chronic pain, it's serious. Don't stay here and die! Pick up n go! Sell what you have and get out before it gets worse!! It will get worse!!

America has taken so many if our rights, why let them take your life too??? Don't! I know it's easier said than done but please try! As long as you haven't had a felony record in past 4 yrs the immigration laws are pretty easy! Don't take this crap!!! I'll never stand for my country again!!!

If you stop your meds quickly you will get sick. My doctor went on vacation and I've been out of meds for a week.. The pains so severe I almost ended my life. My mother gave me part of her script which is a fourth of what I take normally just to take the throwing up away.. So sorry for your pain, I know how hard it is and how people judge you because that can't see it or feel it.. Good luck.. Also I don't know any doctor that would see an uninsured patient.. Sorry

May I ask why you are on so many different pain meds at a time? You might not be so lucky to find a doctor to give you all those pills at one time... The doctors are cutting down on pain meds and your not supposed to mix all those meds... I was just wondering.

I am also looking for a doctor to manage my pain. I have 4 bulging discs, carpall tunnell in both hands, neuropathy, lordodsis of the neck, scoliosis, diabetes, hypertension, severe anxiety, fibromyalgia, bone spurs in my back, shoulder, heels and feet, both knees need surgery and I was sexually abused from the age of 5 to 7. I have tried physical therapy for 2 years in a row and my PT specialist told me he wasn't helping me so there was no reason to continue, I tried a pain management clinic and after steroid shots done under ultrasound my sugars sky rocketed to almost 400! I am UNINSURED also. I am fighting for social security disability since 2008 (which was just remanded by a Civil court judge) so I am also broke and thank God for my wonderful husband who not only supports me financially, but emotionally and phsycially too. My primary care doctor who I have been seeing for over 2 years just told me that she does not feel comfortable giving me pain medication or treating me anymore and that she is giving me one more refill but that is it. I have to find another doctor quickly. I am on Oxycodone 30 mgs 3x a day and viccodin ES, 4 times a day. Please take into consideration that I weight 320 pounds. So when I take medication it does not affect me the same way as someone who is 150 pounds. (Yeah- I know I am a big fat morbid obese person who needs to lose weight so no crappy comments please!) Honestly food and my family are the only joy I have in my life. I too know that this medication is hurting my liver and my kidneys and in fact my liver enzyemes are high and my kidney is not functioning correctly. My mother who had uncontrollable hypertension died of kidney failure at 68 years old so I know how serious that is. Anyone with help who can list a doctor that they KNOW and go to that for SURE will prescribe opioid pain medication and not treat me like a junkie. Please list them. I need help and I cannot live without the pain medication! I would consider leaving this world if I cannot find a doctor to help me. I feel let down by the medical profession. I know I have some mental problems too. The anxiety makes it so that I do not leave my home except maybe for once a week. Please know that I have MRI's, x-rays and EMG's to prove a lot of my medical conditions also. Thank you for any help. I live in Michigan in the Oakland County area or even Macomb county doctors would be great.

Can you please help me?

Unfortunately, what you are suffering is withdrawal. Withdrawal from opioids is painful. That is why opioids do not work in the long term. In addition, you have developed hyperalgesia ( is an increased sensitivity to pain) - a known side effect of opioids. Your best option is to withdrawal from all the opioids, get to ground zero of your "actual" pain. And then start with a "legitimate" pain doctor - a very rare breed of the medical profession.

Hi, "in pain all the time", you said in your update that you found a good doctor they a friend, would u mind sharing the doctors info. I have been having back and neck pain for a few years and it's hard for me to get any medications or even treatments because I haven't had a regular doctor. Since I'm a new patient and still relatively young (33), doctors are conservative with medication and treatment. I have had several ER visits for really bad days and a few doctors appointments where we've tried OMT and lidocaine injections but it's very temporary relief. They will only give me Tylenol 3 which don't help much and I spend a lot of time laying and icing or heating my neck and back. If anyone knows a good doctor that will help me both with pain meds and alternative treatments, I would be very appreciative. I'm in southeast michigan Macomb county.
