I Just Need Someone To Help Me Find A Doctor In Ky That Will Write The Oxy 30s And Xanax Something For Breakthrough Pain Whatever Else Do (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Just want to find a doctor in KY that will write something preferably the oxycodone 30 for pain and 15's for breakthru, plus I've been taking xanax for around 5 years to try and help with the pain and anxiety which they do to a certain point. But I say the oxycodone because I went to a pain clinic in GA 3 months ago and they wrote them for me and I thought I was in heaven as far as the pain was concerned but due to the pain I can't make those trips.!!! Someone PLEASE HELP!!!!

I agree that we the suffering know more about pain and pain meds than any (with all due respect) dr's..........Never in my wildest dreams did I think that my life would one day need pain meds to relieve pain in orderivative to live close to a functional life .I was taught to be independent and to never need anything or anyone to survive. ....
..... ........who knew that accidents and poor health would one day be something to cope with. .......NNo one should be making any accusations at any body. .....walk a mile in my shoes and then maybe make a judgment! !!!!!!!

To Lou (and Spyz and Rhonda): Many thanks to all of you for your coherent, appropriate and insightful responses to Rxlf Appropriate. After suffering with a severe chronic pain condition for 7 years, a courageous and compassionate doctor gave me a prescription for a pain pill. I had never heard of this medication and didn't have much faith that it would work (since others hadn't.) To my amazement, an hour later I was thrilled to find that I was pain free for the first time in years. Then I was furious to realize that this relief had been available for all those years of ever increasing pain and gradual loss of my ability to do many things because of the overwhelming nature of the pain. Yet no doctor had ever even suggested that I try this medication Instead, they'd repeatedly given me the same weak pain relievers, even though I made it clear that these meds didn't help in the least. It was my first realization that doctors and society attached all kinds of unwarranted stigma to the name "Oxycontin," It was that stigma plus ignorance and false assumptions that would make getting pain relief an ongoing struggle--struggling not just to get the medication but also struggling to be given a dose that was actually therapeutic. Finally, seven years ago, I moved to a different state and became the patient of a PCP (with whom I've developed an honest, open and trusting relationship) who was actually concerned that what I was taking was actually sufficient to provide me with adequate pain relief plus a quality of life that was as close to normal as I'll ever get. I have now been on the same dose for these last seven years; I don't need more and I don't ask for more but my doctor sees me every three months to see how I'm doing and to make sure the Oxycontin is still doing it's job. Just FYI - I have never (even the first time I took it) experienced ANY kind of "buzz" from the Oxycontin. I've actually heard so-called "pain specialists" say things like, "And we all know how all these pain patients love their high!" Not true for me at all, EVER. It is the ignorant assumptions of both professionals and lay people like RxlfAppropriate that make the lives of suffering people, people who live with daily agony, even more difficult. So, again, a BIG THANK YOU to those I mentioned previously who took the time to speak so intelligently, with knowledge and compassion, about this issue!

You can't say that without seeing the patient first! How arrogant! If I've had one specific med for a few years that worked, then duh! That's what I'd ask for! Why are pain patients expected to be naive and ignorant of the various meds available and what the possible benefits vs adverse reactions could be. I am more suited than ANY doctor to decide what is the best course of action especially since most pain docs HAVENT taken pain meds.. Like Robin Williams told Matt Damon in movie GoodWillHunting "don't suppose that you know anything about love just because you've read Shakespeare" to the pain docs I say, " don't suppose you know anything about how narcotics will affect me because you read about them in a book!" I've been taking and studying them for over 40 years-how long have you?

To Rxlf Appropriate: Given that you probably don't know any of the people who have posted to this thread and have no idea whether or not they are actually in pain, you would do well to keep your sarcastic judgments to yourself. While it is true that there many drug seekers looking for a doctor who will prescribe for them the medication to which they are addicted, there are also many people who live in daily agony and struggle to obtain relief because of people (including doctors) like you who simply dismiss them as addicts without knowing anything about their situation or suffering.

Michael and Others -

Most of you who took the time to post in this particular discussion would probably benefit more from treatment of drug addiction than any pain management docs.

@Micheal,

I may not have a doctor I can refer you to, but I can provide you with a couple links that may be of service to you in so far as locating pain management doctors within your general 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 page a try too if you come up with different results for some reason or another:
wellness.com/find/pain%20management%20specialist

Many of the results you find (in one or both of the links above) also list a phone number for that specific doctor; I'd consider calling up a number of them to see if they are accepting new patients; some aren't, but most usually are.

I hope this info helps and wish you good luck on finding the right doctor!
