Having Trouble Finding Self Pay Pain Managment In Va

I have been reffered to pain management for protruding disks putting pressure on my nerve root in my back. Every pain management place that I have tryed to get into will not accept self pay. I do not have health insurance and really need to get in one fast because my job requires me to lift heavy things and bend over constantly. I stay in agony all day even with the 15mg oxycodone I have prescribed to me because I am running out and know I cannot get more until I get in pain management so I take only about half of what I need to make it last. I cannot afford insurance and I don't want to have to quit my job because I work for good people. If anyone knows a pain mangement clinic in the hampton roads area of Va that accepts cash PLEASE respond. Thank you

Hello, Rob! How are you doing? I am very sorry about the problem that you're having.

The problem with not having insurance is that it makes it easier for someone to doctor and pharmacy hop to get more medications than they should, thus most pain management doctors have just made it a rule to not prescribe for someone that is uninsured. Even if they did, most pharmacies will not fill such prescriptions for the same reason.

I really wish I had better news for you, but unfortunately this is something that everyone has to deal with, now.

Does anyone have any other ideas that may help?
