I'm in the same boat, I have a doctor in the Everett area and he's retiring at the end of June and I can't find anybody to take me because I'm over the stupid recommendations from the state of Washington. however I am stable and a great patient.

Hi, Devon. I'm sorry for the confusion. I do take two 10mg oxycontin er - which puts me below the "acceptable" guidelines comparison of my oxycontin to 90mg morphine. I've had to stick up for myself believe me! I told them that I refuse to have a machine put in my body (stimulator or pain pump). So far, I'm still recovering my pain meds but each time I go to my monthly appointment I wonderful if this is the visit where I'll be leaving without being given a prescription. Dr. Paterno is leaving Washington Center for pain mgmt this month & I see Kathryn (physician's assistant) next month. I don't know if this cleared anything up, or not. If you are on a low dose/maintain well/comply, etc etc then you might want to make an appointment with them. You don't want to see Dr. Hong or Dustin Reed - both will not prescribe meds, but will do inj's. & an implant stimulator or pain pump. I wish you well.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Can you get Medicaid or Medicare coverage? I'm medically disabled, receive my social security disability benefits & have both Medicare & Medicaid. I know how difficult it is out there & I'm really sorry for your struggle

Deedee,

I was denied because I was over the limit by $3.57 in Arizona. I had coverage... I do know of a good dr in Redmond but I don't know how to exchange info as I'd like to keep him private but willing to help you out.

Is the Seattle pain management still taking new patients? I've had 5 surgeries on both knees (total 10). The 9th and 10th being total knee replacements. I also have arthritis everywhere, in pain everyday all day. Looking for a doctor that ain't afraid to write a script. Not asking to break the law just in desperate need of relief... Please help.

Has anyone out there found any help? My boyfriend is really messed up. His is disabled, bad back, knees, shoulder, arthritis, etc. His dr. retired and did not give any good names of drs. This state is horrible, especially for people who REALLY need pain meds. He needs a new dr. asap. Thank anyone who can recommend anyone. I don't know how any of us can get ahold of one another. Is there another website you can recommend? Thank you

the fact that you have been using opioids for a very long time - like many years does not matter. There is no "grandfathering"...... have tried at least 6 new Pain Specialists since mine lost his license and it's obvious that they are all running scared in Washington. There is no negotiating - other than maybe a LITTLE leeway on how quickly you will be taken off of everything. If there is ONE doctor out there who is more interested in helping and just a little bit less scared of losing his license - I'd love to find that doctor.

If you are referring to "Seattle Pain Centers", they are long gone - they were all shut down by the state.

oh that there were such a thing as "being lucky" because we have been on opiods for so many years. I've been on several for over 20 years. My Pain Doc lost his license in December and I've lost count of how many doctors I've tried since then. It doesn't matter - they are all running scared of this state and will not prescribe over the "recommended maximum" and will take you off of everything you have been using. Moving elsewhere may be my only alternative.
