Need Doctor. West Subs Of Chicago That Will Prescribe Pain Meds (Page 5) (Top voted first)

I live in near Aurora, IL. west suburbs of Chicago PLEASE SOMEONE HAS TO KNOW A DR. AROUND AURORA, IL OR W/IN 10 MILES OR SO THAT WILL PRESCRIBE THE PAIN MEDS I NEED. I'VE TRIED AT LEAST 7 OR 8 DIFFERENT MEDS. THE NORCO10'S OR EVEN STRONGER (FEWER PER DAY) WORK PERFECT, NO SIDE EFFECTS. I'VE TRIED ALL THE OTHER NON NARCOTIC AND THEY DO NOT WORK OR I FEEL LIKE A WACK FROM DRUGS LIKE LYRICA. I don't want to be treated like some drug addict...JUST LOOK AT THE MRI FROM LAST WEEK.

Ray, please advise who your doc is. I too go to DMG and find most all of the docs not willing to write scripts. Even for a legit pain patient with multiple issues. Even their pain clinic docs are doing shots only!! They're scared of the bulls*** gov't whose blaming the illicit drug deaths on the pharmaceutical and pain industry. Please help.

Baby smoke, I do have all necessary docs. Could you please help me out with a doctor? I'm miserable and tired of suffering.

Please share with me the info of the doc. My doc recently closed shop and disappeared. I'm on my last few days of meds and haven't been able to find someone to help.

Re: Babysmoke (# 61)

Who is the doctor? Mine left and I need a new dr. I was taking HCG injections, percocet 5mg, tramadol and nabumetone and now the new one will only do steroid injections. He also said it will only reduce the inflammation but could cause my severe fibro to act up causing more pain. In addition, it costs several thousand dollars, so he makes more and doesn't have to deal with writing any Rx. He said he does not write Rx for any pain meds. Then why are you a pain specialist??? Ugg...

Is this doctor still around? Mine is retiring and he isn’t too helpful! I have seen him for over 15 yrs and am on OxyContin 20mg 4x day and oxycodone 10mg 4 times a day for breakthrough pain. Medication of any kind rips through my system which is why I take 4 LA a day. They last about 6 hrs in my system. I have records etc no abuse!

A logical thinking person doesn't have to be any type of professional to see unbelievable, almost frightening neurotic behavior in an individual who is either on too many medications or just out of their stash. Wow. S.W.

I'm in the same boat as you & I'm on the same medications. The Norco 10-325 is also what I take for the most part but I'm also on a few others like Morphine & Gabapentin. If you don't like the Lycria you could try the Gabapentin as I have been led to believe the side effects are not as severe.

I suspect docs sense you have a character flaw, to be polite. Why won't you get surgery, followed by PT? Also, why all the Ironman stuff if your body is hurting. Doesn't that tell you something? You are using Norco to get through pain, making physical problems worse, not fixing the cause. You want it your way. Not the type of patient that plays well with doctors. Have you considered Butrans Patch? You have to be open to change, healing, not just life as you know it.

Clarification - my previous message was to Hurtin' Tim's regarding his original rant,

FYI- fox valley pain is some gynocological facility and the othe 2 tell you right on the phone that they do NOT manage pain medication, they do injections.

It's been a while and I stopped taking Norco, however I take Gabapentin and an occasional tramedal. The problem, although its nice being off narcotics, I cannot do any exercising with the exception to my physical therapy X's, or lay on the couch.

Thanks for your help and treating me less like a "dope-head" and more like someone that just wants to live a normal life.
