I Need A Doctor In San Jose California That Will Prescribe Me Vicodin For My Back Pain (Top voted first)

Updated

I just this morning went to my doctor and I went because my back pain I have had for 3 years that I have opted not to take pain killers for has gotten so bad I can't work out, I can't stand at work for more than 5 minutes with out pain and I am now losing sleep too. I told my doctor all of this and he thinks i need to have rehabilitation and physical therapy which doesnt even start till next month. I need a doctor that understands my immediate needs for my pain. Can anyone help?

I found this pain dr. for my back pain and fibromyalgia few weeks ago dr. Michael Jadali. He is amazingly knowledgeable and very caring. He is using a technics that I have never seen and has helped me a lot. He really thinks outside of the box. Getting an appointment with him is not that easy though but I finally did. He spends lots of time at each visit and will not leave the room before answering all your questions. The first visit he spent one full hour with me to the point that I was getting tired with him but he said he likes to check everything. following visits were only about 20 minutes. He also has a great bedside manner. I feel so blessed to have found him.

Kaiser MDs are being forced to get very tough with pain and any other meds that actually make a patient feel better. BIG BROTHER IS ALWAYS WATCHING! Them. Not you.
Current Kaiser medical practice is now completely computerized, impersonal and dedicated more to imputting info and asking general questions than answering specific or personal ones you may raise. I wonder if file clerks with a HS educations couldn't do the same job.
Doctors are now given uniform computerized responses that are spat out reflecting your answers to the uniform computer generated questions. And they seem to be scared to death to think outside of the computer box.
But Kaiser is good about responding to a request to change the MD you're assigned to. You can ask to change and you just may get lucky and find a doc who will look at your face instead of his/her computer.
All of this kind of medical practice is to save time and therefore save/make money. Before too long every physician will practice medicine this way. Eventually even the Beverly Hills Concierge Docs who currently put on a pretty good act of appearing to care about their Elite Patients will start paying more attention to clocks and computers to support their elite life style. What works works. Is this Good Medicine???

If you have mri's or x rays to show that you need pain medication there are places that have very fine pain management doctors.

I think therapy and all of those non medication treatments are a waste of time and money. believe me I know. My sister is in bed in horrible pain from a nerve ablation treatment that was to help her pain. Now she is in much worse pain. I wish there was a way for us to send an e mail because no doctor wants their name on here and they are all very legal and cautious and they do not need exposure.

It took me two years to find the right doctor. I sympathize with all of you.

Hi Lou,
I saw this online and was hoping you could help with a recommendation for a back pain specialist In San Jose area. I'm DYING in pain and my Dr. At Kaiser couldn't care less. I saw you helped a 'Scott' awhile back, so if you have any recommendations I would GREATLY appreciate it. Reaching out to a stranger is weird, so I apologize,

What we need to do here is have a patient strike and boycott these doctors that are refusing to prescribe pain meds for chronic pain. If a bunch of us were to get together and picket outside of their offices and file complaints on them for patient stereotyping and discrimination that would start weeding them out. The DEA issued "guidelines" stating that they have to explain the risks and then monitor the patient. That's all, but these quacks are just lazy. Most insurance providers will mail to you the complaint form that will then be filed with the state. Fight back against these non compassionate doctors and epidermal shot mills. File complaints.

Lou hell I'll try it this way I have been going to 2 Dr in Jax Fla since 1995 I have tried a variety of meds through the years but it seems that the methadone(10) 8times aday and roxicodon (30) 4-6 times a day are what do the best. When I had Ins I did rehab, epedural injection, PT etc to no avail. I have no problem putting a new Dr in touch with my Dr back in Jax. I had to take myself off the meds not long after I got here and I thought I would see if my pain level had changed and it hasn't I look like a 80yr old man shuffling around and now I am having reoccuring pain in my neck. I have no ins now and I know new patient visits are not cheap but
the meds are not that expensive so I am sure I can work thru that. I'm just looking for a Dr who can work with me on my problems concerning my back I know most Dr want you to sign a contract thats no problem hell I will pee in a cup if thats the case. Get back to me

This message is to Drubs8. I am in your exact position. I was taking 10 mg Norco for a few years off and on and now my Kaiser doc doesn't want me taking it daily so he basically cut me off. I'm so betrayed and in even more pain than before. I have degenerative disc disease, spondylosis and radiculopathy. Can anyone help??
