Thank you. I've been searching , but it's so hard to know for sure...I need to fire my current "pain management", the pain patients are just extra income. No care.

Wow, your current Dr. really takes his medical ethics and vows seriously if he won't help people that are in pain, overprescribed or not. The truth of the matter is, many people ARE overprescribed even though they have legitimate pain issues. I am on 240mg of ER morphine a day! I'm not HAPPY about that. But I don't know what else to do.

PLEASE post who you are seeing? I am currently about out of my medication I have been cut down to about a 1./3 of my previous dosage. It is not enough! I have 10 days to go before my next appt. And i have 1 day left. No, I am not abusing my med.s I just want to be able to keep my job, and enjoy life. I am scheduled with dr. Mike. (pa) . They fired Faulkner. Mike told me (referring to my severely torn meniscus ,) that his brother had the same thing and he went to physical therapy and took aleve ) (I am a gastric patient I cannot take nsaids) and it healed itself.....B.S.. I have to have it surgically repaired. I am so frustrated...I don't know who to go to for help. I need a dr. Who cares. I am not looking for a pill mill to get a fix. I just want to not be in pain . Withdrawals are hell!!!! Please don't post me a lecture. I am of course physically dependent after taking opiates so long . It's a fact of life, there is a difference between dependent, and abuse. Dr. P. Told me that. He had such compassion, and tried everything to help, and he succeeded. I miss him so much. Have any of his former patients found a good compassionate dr.? Please post .

Look, I've read all of your replies, and I have this to say: I'm NOT a doctor (and don't play one on TV) but I DO have an extensive knowledge of narcotics, learned by collecting books (including medical text books and books on opiates specifically). I educated myself because I had to. I live in the state with the MOST pain doctors and pain centers. I was terrified when I first moved here, and had gotten SO desperate that I enrolled at a local methadone treatment center because there WAS nothing else. There I met the clinic's doc who has run a pain management practice in addition to being the clinic doc for years (this was in N. Ga./TN) I explained to him why I had originally (in desperation and ignorance) gone to the methadone clinic and tho methadone worked it made me a zombie and my family hated the stigma of it. He understood. I had diabetes for 5 years (approx.) before being diagnosed. Because of this, neuropathy had already caused great damage to my feet. I ended up with three amputations and am fighting to keep my second big toe. As usual, some doctor's who know nothing ABOUT pain figured Lyrica could solve my problems. Well, it does: it makes my feet less numb. But the pain is still there. And as I said earlier, if your doc isn't well-educated or if they are a "combo" clinic like "pain relief/weight loss" something is up. Doctors that specialize is bariatric surgery and medicine aren't experts in pain management! The two are unrelated, except in the brain's reward system, a concept those doctors are likely to know only concerning over-eating. If they are a combo-practice is likely means they are just a money machine OR they look at pain and overeating as DAMAGE to the pleasure/reward area of the brain. You want to avoid these people. Educate yourself. I am lucky to have a doctor who also has a law degree, and my previous dr (the clinic dr with his own pain practice) had fought the dea in court and won several times. WHY? Because if you have legitimate records, they can't say "you're not in pain" and since new laws were past to PROTECT pain patients (like making pain a vital statistic at ER's), the dea responds by doing what they did recently: making hydrocodone a C2. Now there are NO real effective pain killers that can be prescribed and refilled, etc. The way is to fight fire with fire. Be prepared. Be firm. Don't ASK for a specific med but say what has and hasn't worked. Do a search on your doc and make sure he/she hasn't had "problems" in the past or you may become his next problem. Fight on the federal level by CONTACTING YOUR CONGRESSPERSONS and SENATORS! Don't be LAZY! You can EMAIL them! How easy is that?! TELL them your feelings.

Tidy would be great my current is OK but but he did lower me but he knows I'm biding time for next major fusion, my third. I'm just so tired of being treated so bad when I have followed every rule for 19 years now I either have to get someone new quick that knows about my condition and med or I again have to have major surgery and I just want some more time those rf procedures worked for me

@ cherry cake. This is so so bad. No doubt the DEA goes around and monitors these kinds of rooms. I had no idea these rooms even existed until all the postings with Dr.P. Did not even know a person could respond about any doctor. This much I do know. I did in fact watch a PC nerd come in and download Dr. P. PC. He used a stick and even knows I was watching him. I just kept quiet about it because of not knowing what was going on. Sarah was another person I still wonder what her part was,. It is very sad our tax money goes to law enforcement to sit on their a## and figure out who is a problem. Ok if there really is a problem I am not aware of it. Surely there has to be better places to find drug dealers. So many postings I am sure some law enforcement person is laughing their a## off for ruining it for legit chronic pain patients. It pisses me off because of the labor work from 13 years old to now always in pain. They do not understand that part. I may have you a doctor pretty soon. But hell I have to find 1 myself once again because of the lack of paying attention to my health where I now have hashimoto disease. This new doctor had to cut me down 33 % and looked what happens. I warned her many times do not touch my meds well once again another disease from a doctor who did not care. Cherry Pie, just hang in there we shall find a caring doctor. Read your other postings so you have med records. We need more folks to get a board of P.A.I.N. going. KU hospital has 1 going right now. I am going and further advance my knowledge living with chronic pain.

ELSTEVEO, this is for you. What else can you tell us about the DEA.and Dr. P ? I miss him so much. He honestly cared, he listened to you. Now I just went on for my Monthly visit at blue valley. And found out they fired dr. Faulkner!!! And basically cleaned out the entire "team". I kind of wonder if it had anything to do with the assistants writing all the prescriptions...I mean I to lid one of them I was nauseated andc she wrote out at script for Phenergan ..the dr wasn't even in the room ...then he comes in. ..makes me feel like shi* cuz my high levels of meds. And i have serotonin syndrome my brain only thinks I'm in pain. We'll duh! My brain is lying to me. So they cut me some more. From 30 mg to 20 mg. For breakthrough pain. Every time I go there I cry in the car. They make me feel that bad. I am afraid to go anywhere else, they are always talking about "dismissing" patients.

This posting is for VERWON. Did you really win Vern ? Look at what you did to just a small sample of patients in the very best city in America. All you did is collect a pay check from the DEA or whoever and put people's lives in jeopardy. Betting you never did a hard day's work in your life. Because if you are from the Johnson County area I would know who you are. Something smells in this entire practice of Dr. P. Who was Sarah ? She sure walked like an agent and never seen her do anything. Why was the pc's always going down and some nerd comes in and downloads the info. This I witness myself. Knew something was wrong because Dr. P is only a handful of great pain management doctors we have in Johnson County. So who won in this BS Vern.

Please understand that as a patient I am once again in a holding pattern. Look at it this way folks who have been reading all these postings. We can get together HIRE a doctor and have already a business building to use. With this many comments on this 1 doctor it shows me and many investors that KC lacks in pain management doctors. So if nothing else we can start our own company. Already have a logo for the business. P.A.I.N. Patients Awareness in Narcotics. Yes already getting a copyright to this logo. K.U. is aware of my intentions and will be taking their classes. Please try and make the classes 1 per week 2 1/2 hrs for 6 weeks. They also meet once q month. For more info just use their link. thanks. We need clinics not a hospital setting for pain management and hope everything works out somehow.

I will not give out the current Doctors name for the simple fact that this is a good case of medical malpractice. I kept very good notes and the lies were simply false. Dealing with a daughter n law who has cancer the doctor knew this and warned them to keep all my meds the same. A very difficult doctor and did everything she asked of me. Yet she has never yet complied with our agreement and my health care. In fact my health care has gone down each and every month and kept notes on my health warnings to my Doctor. Right now legally they are still my doctor. I can only pray they will understand all the troubles I am having with so many diseases, continued pain of course and lets add on some cancer where she had flat lied twice and told this Doctor that my anxiety is thru the roof yet they keep taking me down. Anxiety way up and pain of course goes way up. Please understand it is a wait and see for me right now. Even my wife has problems and going to the same place and they may stop as well. I do not like being LIED too. It makes no sense for a professional to lie when they know it is easy to catch them in the many lies.

I am so sorry for all your going through I completely understand. I am also confused. I did bring all my rx records to the new clinic , I showed 5 hem what I'd been prescribed. I was seeing Dr faulkner and his PA "dr mike". At the weight loss surgical center, and pain management center. Every single appt. It's lower lower my meds. The very first one it was just my break through pain meds from 30mg 6 a day. ..to 4 x a day. Then my E.R went from 60 mg 3 x a day . Down to 30mg. 3 a day. Now after my last appt. I Was Told They'd Leave them where they were. Then P.A comes in and says yo expect my breakthrough meds to change next mo. I'm so sick of it. It's like they think I'm dr P patient so of course I must be over prescribed. I don't think even once has anyone asked me how I'm feeling. The PA guy loves to tell me every time. "Your taking dosages for cancer patients" I don't have cancer Thank you God (I mean that). And my MRI. "Only" shows arthritis and a bulging disc. I am on disability ssdi. Because I worked years and years with my back plus carried over 400 lb.s on my 5'5 frame. Gave birth several times with NO ANESTHESIA. Give me a break. I do know pain. ...very well in a years time I dropped over 200 lb.s. I'm pretty sure that put me out of whack too. I just want a compassionate dr. Who will listen to me. And not make assumptions. Why work in pain management if you hate your patients? On top of all my pain returning with a vengeance. ..I'm suffering withdrawals every time they lower my dose. I feel so helpless. ..and hopeless. I thought really really hard before I agreed to go on the "heavy stuff"... but truthfully it gave me a life back. I play with my grandkids, I work, my husband and I can go out now. I couldn't do any of those things before. Now.. who has found a DR. Who cares in the Overland Park/ Kansas City area? Anyone ????

Being a Chronic Pain Patient for the last 16 continued years. Yes I had cervical pain since the age of 13 years old building new homes in the midwest carrying plywood on my head and causing severe neck pain. There is no such thing as over prescribed medicine. There is over dosing from either the lack of knowledge or just plain stupid. Patients who have been long term learn the do's and don't with meds. I am at the point once again after losing Dr. P in finding another doctor because my current doctor refuses to CONCUR with his treatment. This doctor even said that I must come down at least 33%. So I am wondering after reading all these postings if all the pain doctors got together and said we draw the line in reducing all of Dr. P. patients 33%. Now once again no doctor and from this drop in meds it has brought on full blown Graves Disease and Hashomoto Thyroditis. Very rare but thanks to unskilled pain doctors who have no classes to show proof this is what I get. Good luck to all because we all need it. If anyone knows of a KC doctor I have all my medical records including DR. P's records because I knew how to work the system in getting my records from his office. Guess what ? it does no good. Just use the RX store copy of your last years usage and take it to another doctor. This is their proof you were on whatever type of med's it was. Still needing a Doctor in KC.

can you please tell me who you got for a new doctor. Dr. P was great with me as well. He even sent me 3 full months of DO NOT FILL UNTIL such date. A great guy and yet I know some of the details of what happened. The girls did not fill out paper work in getting his money. The owner of the building stop him from renewing it. Somehow from all of this I still think the DEA set this whole thing up just for a huge body slam to us chronic pain patients. Something smells about this whole deal since I was a lifetime Realtor in the area. So please help me if you can with another Doctor. thank you

For me oxycotin has been the best, with oxycodone for breakthru pain. However as the above postings go I lost my doctor as well. Seems every time a good doctor comes around the DEA finds a reason to get rid of them. Been battling chronic nerve pain for 16 continued years never has gone away. KC area where Dr. P was my doctor and no longer is. If anyone knows of a KC pain doctor please let me know this last doctor refused to concur with Dr. P's treatment and went into full blown graves disease. A true story of a battle of health.
