Medication Pain Management Upstate New York

I am trying to find Pain Management in the Albany New York area. I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and have had the injections done, which do not help at all. My neurosurgeon, primary care Dr., and myself have been trying to find a doctor in the area that will help me with pain medication. I didn't think it would be this difficult. I even have the support of my current doctors, but for some reason, its not easy to find one for pain medication. At this point, its not even a matter of insurance. I don't care if I have to pay. I just cant handle this pain. I am actually having surgery(fusion) this coming week and still have to find pain management. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, Jay! How are you? I am very sorry that you're in pain.

If you're calling around to doctors asking about prescribing pain medications, then that could be creating a problem right there. Doctors are taught to view that as being drug seeking behavior, so most of them will just say that they don't and not even let you get in the door for an appointment.

You'll need to just see a new doctor and discuss your treatment options at an appointment, after they've seen your medical records.

Can anyone recommend a good doctor in that area?
