Andrea would like to hear follow up on your complex case. I too am complex (and am a professional nurse) but with several FBS as you mentioned and a history of heavy opioids for pain what happened to your PM specialist?
Thanks.
Unless u have ptsd or severe annixety, please do not judge ne one who is is serious need of a spacific medication
. Wen u've tried everything else meditation, breathing , ne thing n everything iu can try. You have no idea what people go threw. Wth these severe sicknesses & diseases. Thats a true fact. So do some research first bfore makeing judgement on any one person. And Thank God you do not have to deal with these kind of illnesses.
Hey. I know you post is over a year old? I am trying to understand. What you meant by. Have your TV d 3 levels checked? I never heard of Vitamins d 3? What is this? What are they checking for with this? Thanks
Please, please, I need a doctor in Seattle or the Eastside in WA State who is willing to prescribe me opiates such as OxyContin, etc. at high levels due to a debilitating, disfiguring & disabling back injury, along with a herniated disk, deteriated cyatic nerve and brain tumor that effects major controlling parts & functions of my body (pitituary adenoma). My chronic pain has additionally been made worse by two botched back surgeries. I am no longer able to take care of myself, usually are in a wheelchair, are not able to walk for more than 3 feet, cannot standup for more then one minute without experiencing severe back & leg pain pain, cannot twist or bend/stoop at all, have lost use of my left leg (and partially my right one) due to seizure, etc. caused by brain tumor, past chemotherap and constantly falling down or tripping over things due to muscle pain & weakness of legs and back. Need to find doctor that understands that I have tried EVERYTHING available out there that can be prescribed to combat pain and that the only thing that has been effective to treat my chronic pain is opiates. I want a doctor that will listen to me and not what he thinks would be best, along with not conforming to the current political agenda or what all the other doctors are doing because of the state's agenda. I wAnt a doctor who will listen to me, fight for my rights and not leave me in bed in constant pain, unable to fend for myself an any way, shape or manner due to the fact that he thinks I am a drug addict, that I use too much medicine/opiates to treat my problems, that I have sleep apnea (which I do not, because I can only sleep sitting up due to severe pain that is experienced whilst trying to sleep in a prone position). Someone please help me, for as I want to get out of bed and live my life and be with my family, instead of depedong on them for everything! Won't someone please help me? I am above the ground, yes, but I want to be able to enjoy my family and life again.
Are u kidding me. You obviously have never had pain. Why are you on here judging people. I pray you never have to go through pain like some of us suffer From.
Thank you for your comment. There may be a few but that shouldn't ruin quality of life for those who truly need pain control to just live a halfway normal life, and to function. I appreciate you taking the time to post on behalf of those who's pain is not under control. It's very difficult. It can effect every single aspect of a life and that is not the way anyone should live. Take good care and thanks again.
To "Barrington".
Why are YOU on the site? Is it just a fun way for you to spend time, attempting to make yourself feel better about yourself by judging people you don't know? Your attitude sickens me. Of course people who are crippled by pain are going to feel anxious and motivated to find relief. Get a life and stop making sweeping generalizations about people who are suffering enough.
If you are in perfect health and go out exercising daily, it makes me curious to know why you are taking the time to read and post without adding anything constructive or even remotely interesting to the discussion.
What is your problem? Read the Terms of Use agreement. You are neither civil nor respectful.
Oh, give me a break! 99.9% of the posts here resemble Drug Seeking behavior. "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I NEED A DOCTOR TO GIVE ME PAIN MEDS!!" "I NEED A DOCTOR TO PRESCRIBE FOR ME AND MY WIFE!" You don't think that comes off as suspicious?

T his is a non-judgemental forum for people with legit difficulties. Perhaps you have never been hit head-on by a drunk driver and had your life totally turned around. I have been treated for pain issues for accidents that were not my fault. I have been meditating, eating organically, lost 30 lbs., and have done everything under the sun to keep myself going including giving thanks every morning for the priviledge of being able to take a pill that will allow me to get out of bed and do dishes, etc. If I can assist someone to find a pain clinic or Dr. who hasn't let the state scare them out of helping people in chronic pain then I feel great about it as I am sure others on her do also. If I could get by without taking pills I would. But you have wrongly assumed that we do not meditate,exercise, or do whatever we can to be healthy and keep our pain levels down. Why would you feel the need to try and shame someone?
Are you people serious? Do you guys know how you look? I'm floored that there are people on an open forum, pestering folks about where you can get your next fix. Try exercise, meditation or going for a walk. That would be much better for you health wise then stuffing your bodies with Narcotics. Smdh............

Seattle Pain Clinic has clinics in Renton, Seattle, and Tacoma. You must have your primary health provider refer you to a pain clinic. If money is an issue and you are already on that medication I believe you may be able to go to Seamar Health Clinic. It is so important now to have a primary health doctor because of the new insurance laws. They have to refer you out to the specialists or your insurance will not pay for it. WA state has good pain clinics/. It is important that you have someone teach you a little bit about how to use your insurance. Good luck. Also..get your vitamin D3 levels checked. Most of us are deficient and that causes problems also.

I am in a serious anxiety benzo problem in Washington I live in Kirkland can anyone help have u found help since 02
Hey, I just started at a Pain Management center in Edmonds, WA. They offer a host of therapies, as well as Opiod treatments. I believe they even offer Subutex/Suboxone for maintenance and for pain. I am currently seeing Dr. Fitzhum there. The place is called Washington Center for Pain Management. They say that they won't prescribe narcotics on your first visit, but as long as you have recent MRIs, CTs, etc as well as a referring doctor they will prescribe meds on your first visit.
A heads up- if they do write you a script then you will have to take a drug screen on the spot as well as sign a contract. If you test positive for anything other than pot or your current prescriptions (or positive for any meds that you aren't prescribed) then they WILL NOT write you a script for anything, and I think they kick you out right away.
Other than the UA's, Dr. Fitzhum, and the Center are pretty compassionate and understanding. I had taken a Percocet from a month old RX because Dr. Fitzhum had put the wrong daily limit on my Norco (10/325) RX and I ran out a day before my appointment. At my next appointment he is going to switch me over to a LA opiate with either Norco (10/325) or Percocet (5/325) for breakthrough. He wanted me to get a 3rd MRI on my lumbar spine to see if surgery is an option or if my sciatica is related to my previous surgeries scar tissue.
My case may be different as I've exhausted all other treatments including PT, massage, epidural injectionssurgery, NSAIDS (Advil, Aleve, Celebrex, Meloxicam), Pregablin, Gabapentin, Neurontin, Topiramate, a TENS unit, traction exercises, meditation, tai qi, qi gong, acupuncture, rest, etc... So opiates were my last option (I've been on them for the better part of a year) and for my pain I've maintained on a relatively small dosage (at the height of my usage I was at 10 Mg of Percocet 9-10 times a day, ATM I'm only on 50-60mg's of Hydrocodone a day) as my pain continues to get worse Dr. Fitzhum has been understanding and raised my dose accordingly. Although my GP was a better doctor and if I was still seeing him I'd probably already be on a long acting med, I just like being able to get my RX every month instead of every week (hence the Pain Center).
Sorry for the rambling, I just though some of my background could give you some insight into what to expect from The Washington Center for Pain Management. They have clinics all over the Puget Sound, including a new clinic in Bellevue. They do offer Buprenorphine, they accept most insurance plans and they are taking new patients. Call about 2 Weeks a head to schedule an appointment as they are a popular Clinic, listed in Seattle Magazines list of top Doctors in Washington.
God bless! May you be happy and healthy in the body and the mind.
I am looking for Seattle Dr's. Please help. Everyone I call says no methadone only suboxone...
I have occasional severe back pain and I went to Dr. Escobar in Marysville. I had to tell her firmly that NO I do not need anymore pain killers! I think she over prescribes, but at the same time I've had lower back pain since childhood and one day I had a routine physical with her and it just so happened that my back was out at the time and I could hardly walk into the office. She notice my pain an offered pain killers.......first time I'd taken pain killers and I have to say it improved my quality of life. I just moved and now that I know how nice it is to be able to medicate the pain I'm afraid I won't be able to find another doctor as willing to prescribe. Just be careful!! I always make sure I am taking for pain and that I NEVER take more than recommended dose! It's a slippery slope!
I am looking for same and can get to seattle
Are you able to get into Seattle, at all?
I can probably find you more listings there, if you can post back and let me know.
Personally, I've found the options in the Bellevue area to be very limited and you generally get much better options if you go into Seattle proper, especially in the U District.
