Need Help Finding A Pharmacy To Fill Dr. Bynes Prescriptions (Page 10)

I live in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia. Diagnosed suffering from Degenerative Disc Disease, with Cervical Radiculopathy (one bulging disc) and Lumbar Radiculopathy (two bulging discs). These spinal problems are diagnosed by three (3) recent CAT Scans, with radiologist analyses. And yes, I have ALL of the CAT Scan CDs, and radiologist reports. I went to Frank Howard Bynes, M.D., a retired trauma surgeon, and practicing internal medicine M.D., here in Savannah, Ga, for help with severe pain control. I was written valid prescriptions for: Roxicodone 30 mg; Dilaudid 8 mg; Xanax 2 mg; Fentanyl 100mcg/hr transdermal patch; Soma 350 mg; Neurontin 800 mg. ALL, YES ALL local pharmacies, will NOT honor ANY of these prescriptions. I was a previous patient of David M. Nelson, M.D. here in Savannah, March 2010 to March 2013, and had to endure this same B.S. then, also. This medical community, with the exception of Dr. Bynes, refuses to help me- Where is their Hippocratic Oath allegiance??? I cannot work, nor even function normally each day, because of the severe pain. I have been living off of the proceeds from the Workman's Compensation settlement I received in October 2012, from the accident at Georgia Port Authority in October 2009, here in Savannah. About out of money now, and have no income. I need help with pharmacy information.

Re: Pooler Gal (# 179)

Believe what? I'm trying to find out how I can get 2 months of my records from Bynes bc my current Dr wrote me a 10 day supply & he is waiting on the records from Bynes office bc that was my most recent Dr I've seen. I was seeing this doctor & left to go to Bynes, & now I'm back at their office.

Re: Angry 65 year old (# 180)

I was injured on the job as a State Worker, and went on WC. Walgreens filled every prescription for free.

What sucks is you can't sue the State for Pain and Suffering. I had 2 spinal surgeries due to my accident. They Medically Retired me, and pay a large chunk of my GIC Insurance. My settlement was for $10,000, after the lawyers took their cut.

Because you can't be. That's double dipping. You can only get a WC check or a SSDI check, not both.

Re: Flea (# 4)

A real good way to die and be denied anything else is to "Doc Shop" or go to multiple pharmacies. Sweets, as a daughter of 2 alcoholics, I reached 60 now 65 and realized I could get by w/ much less medicine bc if we would all just admit it, many times we are searching for the euphoria. I have 8 major problems, 1 is the 3rd most painful disease but again I say in youth we learn and in old age we understand. I now understand that all those meds. that I kept running out of, going thru withdrawal for 3 days and then trying to look okay for the pain Doc was going to kill me if I didn't stop. I finally had my hubby hide the meds and dole out one day at a time bc I couldn't do it myself. TU Jesus, I can now. Taking so many meds is dangerous but if necessary I understand. But be honest w/ yourself if you're running out bc you overdo it. Please learn from an old lady w/ the mind of a 16 yr old...not worth it....you will learn and understand.

Re: WComp (# 182)

I worked as a supervisor for a WC company. If your settlement was too low, you can blame your attorney. My Husband after I had to retire at 47 was a Correctional Officer and got Hep C and knew who he got it from bc the inmate had the same genotype which is a rare one. 7 yrs with a do nothing attorney and I fired him. I detoxed off Methadone so I could defend him. Had to do public speaking so I thought okay. Well, his psyche hooked him up w/ a tiger of an attorney and after 12 years and now at stage 3 (cirrhosis) this smart attorney got him 100%. Yes the attorney made his retirement but we get a bi-monthly check for over 1K every year of his life. It takes a smart attorney. I am in CA and our attorney is retired but bless him. And it's true, you cannot get both SDI and WC but U can get Medicare and WC. And I don't know if this is a CA thing, but you could have signed up for Long Term disability...so cheap and it's a good % of your wages. It's ERISA or by the gov't and $4 out of your paycheck. It got me thru until I got my SDI which I did all by myself. AND you get it retro from your filing date so $14K came as a nice surprise and got me buy until the 14 mos before SDI approved. Do it yourself, an attorney will take more than 1/3 of your allowance.

Re: Angry 65 year old (# 185)

Unfortunately in MA there is no Temporary or Long Term Disability. I was 20 at the time, so was clueless about buying private LTD. This means I had a tiny amount of my income coming in. Social Security doesn't want to believe a College student and State Worker could possibly be totally disabled. My mistake again. When I was denied. SSDI, I was too young to know to fight it. From 10/92 to 4/93 I received 0 income. My second surgery, from WC accident was 10/93, then I was Disability Retired in 5/96. I got my lump sum, my Disability Retirement (I worked there exactly 2 months) and 90% of my Health Insurance paid for. On 9/11 I applied for SSDI after my 3rd surgery. I ended up in front of the Judge, who was pissed I was denied. I got that tiny retro check, because I get a pension. I now have had 7 surgeries.

Re: WComp (# 182)

To be honest with you- your young age has a lot to due w/both your meds and your settlement. You can't sue the state here either, that's why a real bulldog attorney helps. Clue: in CA, there is in the AMA(different from the WC rules) that does not allow them to change a 'mental diagnosis' and allows fingers of other diagnoses to be added. This was his pearl. You do have the ability to repeal your settlement and gain Future Medical....but every State Ins Comm is different. For instance, in CA, WC will NOT pay for any pain meds.- Crazy but call your attorney and object to your settlement unless you missed the time limit. In all my years, I have NEVER seen 100% settlement, so U know we had the Bulldog. Yes he got 130K but we are so grateful he took a 7 yr old case, and we got 100%, I have only TKX for him.

Your lucky to get all those most of the doctors are running from writing them but honestly ask your doctor if you can get a application for assistance programs and you can usually get ones straight to the manufacturer
