Yes! My husband was "downsized"" from the army and I lost my doc on post. I desperately need a new doc to do my medication management. Everyone I call under "pain management" is into the anesthetic injectiontions which don't work for me. Please let me know!
Thanks

These posts are over two years old and not updated.. I was wondering how everyone is doing now and if you all find your doctors ?I and some other women and men. Had same issues in our state. It took me years of asking everyone new I meant, and yes, keeping my hears open in public, people do talk. And if they like and have a good relationship with there dr. ,they will tell you.. I went thur all that judgement stuff. But found best where I live in va now, I moved from living in Florida and having great pm doctors, to moving to va and living that night mare, I lost one dr cb he lost his license. So you really need to investigate and research a pm dr. i had issues with primary dr who out right refused to write me any thing but referred me out.. Always keep copies of your medical records,, always get a new Mri if your is over 3 years old and you plan on moving to a new state.. If you a vet.. I know few. Va does offer pm. Also I learned after my move from Florida to va the hard way. Don't ever move out town or to another state without first having new pm dr lined up. Des every where has doctors and pharmist scared to fill Rex, they do not care if your. Dying from cancer. They could care less about people whom are in real pain. This is all due to dishonest drug seekers. Wanting medicine to sell. They have made it very difficult for those who do need it and are honest I would never ever make a big time move or location to another part of USA without finding or having.

s there anyone out there who would be be willing to help start a GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT that will help people w/ pain who REALLY NEED meds? I have fibromyalgia, degenerative disk disease, and huge fall out from an accident w/ broken bones that led to a pulmonary embolism, and even more fallout from that--arthtitis, and more-- in other words---I'm a mess. Even with records of years of treatment, and a safe record with very small amounts of hydrocodone, I am finding my doctors less and less willing to proscribe pain meds. Have found relief for the fibro in Lyrica--which costs a small fortune, also Tramadol helps w/ the back. BUT there are always those Bad Days---you know the ones. Where all you do [when you don't have hydro or something similar], is just curl up in bed, or recliner, w/ a heating pad and whimper [a lot] you can't even get it together enough to get to emergency room--it just hurts too much. And the depression that goes with all this? *sigh* Now on top of all this politicians have decided to get between doctors and their patients, restricting what a person who is a medical specialist, can do what they feel/know is right for treatment. Doctors are in Real Fear of what legal repercussions can come down on them, Washington State has some of the most restrictive laws around. I would really like to help change this. If there is anyone out there--nurse-lawyer-doctor-pain sufferer-care giver-relative or friend of a person w/ awful pain---or just someone who wants a good cause to put time and effort into. PLEASE POST HERE. I will try to stay on top of all reply's--please forgive if this is a few days lax at times, the pain drives me into a hellish cave where i hide [and whimper]. Any and all ideas are welcome--one never knows where that 1st spark that lights the flame will come from. ------till later, stay warm, read, watch TV, go online --what ever it takes--care.......

Ive went to seattle pain clinic. They are not good at managing pain. Theyll start you out if you have mris to prove your real..then theyll cut you i am in severe pain and do not get through a day. I had a pinal infection. 1 month out of a 2 month stay in swedish they cut what swedish hosp. Gave me . In half later to take 4 of my 4mg hydromorphone to 3 or I could give up 10 mg of methadone. I am suffering needlessly. I have med records from drs. I brought them. They have no record of they say. I cannot replace these. I am on 30 mgs of methado ne since 2013 I in constant pain...they dont care. Alot more yo my story but iu d look elsewhere.

Ok it is nov2015, and I have been on methadone for more than 10yrs.after losing insurance that paid for oxytocin. So now that same doctor i've been seeing for 20yrs and prescribed all of this is now saying that he can't anymore that it's illegal in Washington st.and that I'd have to go to a methadone clinic 100 miles away. Strange thing is I know ppl in same town at different dr.office that are still getting them today? What is going on? Anyone know if that's just him saying that cause he don't want t anymore? I'm panicking I have fibromyalgia, stenosis, 5 herniated disk and RA, what am I going to do? I go to see him in 4days.

Yes, still looking for Doctor: Semi-paralyzed now due to chronic pain which no doctor wants to treat with any kind of understanding/caring due to political agenda & over-the-top stringent medical regulations here in Washington State. Also hearing from doctors all the time that I just have to "sit & suffer" concerning my chronic & debilitating pain because "this and that study" claims this/that will happen if you take this/that amount of medicine, or that one might die from a certain dosage of pain medicine, especially that of OxyContin, which is the only pain medicine that has ever worked for me.
I have had two back surgeries that have left me worse off then before with regards to pain, along with having tried EVERY method or alternate way available for the last 15 years concerning trying to help me reduce my pain level: Trigger & spinal injections, acupuncture, massage, manipulation, alternative prescriptions for pain relief (which have noted on medical record as to the fact that I am extremely allergic to morphine, reglan and subuxone), etc.; Nothing has helped and thus I now am bed-bound and completely dependent upon the help of others because all doctors have basically connoted "Too bad, so sad". I wish that they could somehow experience the chronic daily pain I am in and then maybe they could understand. And what makes me even angrier is that they all know from having viewed my current MRI that I am a person who is not lying, an addict, just pretending, etc., because my MRI clearly shows that I have bone on bone in the S1 level & obliterated disks in other areas...
I really feel like no one cares. We are now in the process of losing everything in the hopes of just trying to keep me out of the constant pain & subsequent disabilities created from my debilitating chronic pain.
I know I sound like a complainer, and believe me I am not, but knowing that all these so called studies & reasons for not subscribing me the dosage that I need to function on a minimal basis are getting in the way (even after 15 years of proof that these studies are not applicable to me) is getting to be too much. Why, I have even been prescribed medical marijuana, which in Washington is legal, and even this has not helped!
I am not asking to be considered to be prescribed a higher amount of opioids because I am an addict, but merely because I would like to not be at the mercy of others when it comes to getting out of bed, going to the bathroom, showering, dressing, eating, walking, standing up, bending, participating in life, etc. Is this too much to ask? Apparently so.

The Seattle pain clinic treats everyone like a criminal. They label people and genuinely only care about themselves and how they look, to the government. They need to review the code of ethics for medical providers. I would never ever go back there.

Seattle pain is a joke and a waste of time and money. I have found Drs who will prescribe but lowered me down from 5 to 3. I did go out of country as well on one occasion and their oxycodone is beyond strong. I can help with info till you can find a pain management place being it seems they will only do a consult and give pcp recommendation on a treatment plan that your pcp should be prescribing you. Mind u I live way up in ferndale and I've travelled a lot to be semi out of pain. {edited for privacy} if you need me

I am a chronic pain patient. I was crushed neck down in auto accident 6 yrs ago. Fused spine, reconstructed pelvis, joins replaced, etc. I'm disabled of course. My pain doc in Olympia WA just quit 2 days before my 30 day appt. I went into withdrawal and my body shut down. Spent Feb 2016 in hospital where they "saved" me again. I need a new pain doctor who doesn't work for the big clinics. One somewhere near Thurston County WA. Or Chehalis. Someone who cares about the quality of what's left of my life. The pain clinic I got into gave me just enuf morphine (the only drug I can tolerate) to keep me from screaming most of the time, but I am bed bound.....again. Years of hard fought for progress is being lost! I'm getting weaker, I'm losing hope. They prescribed me less than the minimum they could have and shorted me 2 days also until my next appointment. What kind of torture is this policy? I feel like a panther in a small cage pacing back and forth, dying to be free. If anyone knows of a decent caring doctor who can give me back the shadow of my former, active life I would appreciate it SO much. I don't drink, I've never even tried illegal drugs, and I've never disobeyed my pain doctors instrucions yet I'm being treated like a criminal drug addict. Anyone, please help if you know of such a miracle doctor.

I have been on Methadone for about 20 years due to a car accident, surgery screw ups and other chronic pain illnesses. It is getting harder and harder for those who are on Methadone because most Dr. offices are doing a comparison for every 10 milligrams of Methadone that you take is equivalent to 30 milligrams of Morphine. So that means the most a Dr. will soon prescribe is 3 10mg tablets a day. If that is ok for you then I have a place you can go. They will also prescribe other meds that you need and they do believe in you as a person. They also know that it is not all in your head and that you have real pain and real issues. It helps if you have medical records and x-rays. Bring them with you. They also do the My Chart online so you can look at everything the Dr. does for you plus all paperwork, tests, notes, e-mail Dr., make appointments, etc. They are compassionate people and they are there to help. They are also willing to prescribe other pain meds due to each individual case. It is in Wenatchee, WA and it is called Confluence Health Family Physicians and their number is 509-665-6087. I hope this helps.
