Can anybody recommend a pain management practice near Aurora IL to treat back injuries? The challenge is that many non narcotic medications have not been working well for me and I do not feel good from drugs like Lyrica. I would ideally like a clinic where they would be willing to review my medical history in full and prescribe an appropriate treatment.
Try Dr Joseph Onwuta. He's out of Algonquin Illinois so it's about an hour drive, but he's an old school pain management doctor that had me taking 40 mg Norco every day. He's also the doctor that knocks you out for surgery so he knows his s***.
Re: Left IL for FL (# 22)
Dr Yang was suspended and no longer practices.
Re: Jim55 (# 12)
I used to live in Aurora and I can confirm about Dr. Yang. I had a bad injury, but I got lucky and my general physician took care of me. Before my Dr. started helping I was often told to see Dr. Yang in Yorkville.
Not when you have a drs note sending u to a pain clinic....I never went because opiates suck.
Re: Bioll (# 19)
Nope Kratom 200% safe and pretty effective! Also research potentiators
All you have to do is be honest. I got 120 30mg roxis , every 2 weeks for 8 weeks. Cuz of a few broken ribs. You jus have to find one in the burbs. Make sure you haven’t filled any other opiates in over a year....or have your records and the dr should see the trend of you taking and filling the meds correctly. That’s the only way.
Hi Lolo. I am an desperate need to find a pain management dr here in IL. I have scoliosis degenartive arthritis and 3 buldging disc. Please let me know of any good recommendations. I would appreciate it. My pain unbearable and I just want my life back with my daughter I feel so bad because I want to be able to get my life back and play with my daughter.
There Is a terrific pain management doctor out of Alexian Bros in Elk Grove. I know that's a way from Aurora, but he listens, he tries different things and will work with you to come up with a plan that works. Dr. Joseph Belmonte, and is an anesthesiologist and pain
Med doctor. Board certified. Excellent
And worth the trip.
There is an excellent pain management doctor/anesthesiologist that works out if Alexian Bros in Elk Grove, IL. I had two major spinal fusions and an fused T10 to the sacrum. I tried absolutely every other option before the surgery but wanted to remain upright and not in a wheelchair. Had severe spondilolisthesis that created bad scoliosis in lumbar region, therefore the extent of the surgery. One year after initial surgery top area had not fused well and they went in again, put in new hardware, did iliac crest bone graft and while this time it all took I live with constant chronic pain and am so limited I ended up on SSDI. Anyhow, after little luck with pain doctor I had, I parted ways and took a chance on this doctor at Alexian. What a godsend! He listens, we have tried various meds and combinations if meds and at last there is at least better pain control. Highly recommend him.
Have you tried inj's in your back so see if it stops the pain and for how long? If it does, you have to go thru that 3 separate times and then they will burn those nerve endings so they cannot cause you pain. They eventually grow back again tho so it's a circle. Also, if it is from vertebrae rubbing together, they can now inj some soft stuff to keep them separated so they cannot hurt you. Third and final step is a spinal fusion and I would not recommend that to anyone. Pain meds are only a temporary solution to a permanent problem. These procedures would be carried out by the radiology department of a hospital in your area and not all are the same. You need interventional radiologists. You may want to ask for Vicodin brand name instead as it is 10/300 so there is less acetaminophen to hurt your liver.
Have you ever thought about seeing an extremely well qualified Hypnotist? A hypnotist can create 'drugs of choice' as your mind already knows what that drug does for you. Your mind will respond as if you are getting the full dose of the pain med and a hypnotist also can eliminate unwanted side effects from drugs. Finding one of us is difficult in the US, but they do exist. Just make sure to say you want the Bandler drug of choice and ask if they know it. Be well~Pood
Has anyone had success in finding a good doctor who treats legitimate chronic pain? I can't keep living like this, it's pure torture. I've got plenty of medical records, pharmacy records, etc. I'm unable to live a productive, functional life under the care of the doctor I'm currently seeing. He's dead set on installing a SCS for his financial benefit while ignoring the complexity of my pain and injuries and what's ultimately best for me. My spinal injuries span from a fracture and pinched nerve at C5, pinched nerves at C8 and C7 along w/arthritis and numerous bone spurs in my neck to compression fractures at L3 and L2 w/compressed discs b/w L2 and L3 and L2 and L1 in my back all the way to a herniated disc b/w L5 & S1 w/a pinched nerve causing radicular sciatic pains down my legs. I've been through all types of treatment: epidurals, trigger point injections, acupuncture, biofeedback, electronic stimulation and TENS unit treatment, several types of physical therapies, etc. Nothing mitigates the pain to tolerable levels while allowing me to lead a productive life and engage in more physical activity more than opioid medications. I've never abused them, not followed my doctors directions, etc. and it's heartbreaking to see how much of an impact drug abuse is having on people w/legitimate and very serious chronic pain problems get the proper treatment which helps them the most.
If anyone can please let me know of an understanding, compassionate doctor who will continue narcotic based pain management treatment I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thank you and God Bless!
What can you tell me about this dr? Why are you so sure it's a sure thing?
Best

I hope every doctor who just wants your money and doesn't care about your chronic pain but rather your money sticking it to you anyway they can gets to feel what its like to be in chronic pain. along with the politicians and DEA. Chicago has a bunch of doctors advertising pain management but they don't know the definition. Steroid shots are not always effective and steroids are hard on the body. Any one lately know of real P.M. doctors prefer N.W. area but open to travel. have all sorts of pain spine etc and records and been in P.M. for 8 years. They wonder why H is badly abused here and what about the poor veterans. are the pharmacies messed up too? still lookin help....
I live in oak park, il. 60302....my doctor is no longer seeing patients so I have been cut off from narco and xanex...does anyone know a doctor in whom will prescribe pain medication? I'm in a lot of pain, anything wil help, I'm almost desprit...please help
Hi Lauren, I'm sorry to hear that. Did you ever receive new medication
Hi. I just wanted some advice on my situation. Im 30 yrs old and dec 3rd I had fallen on my arm when I was 2 days away from having my 3rd child by c-section. I was told by the hospital I fractured it in 2 different spots. I had surgery on dec 11 and it took 7 hrs. The ending result is 2 plates and 13 screws. I have been on norcos for the past few months cause thats the only thing that helps the pain. My orthopedic surgeon stopped the pain meds after 2 months when I told him im still in pain and there feels like nerve damage. Needless to say he didnt care. It was Michael Weisburger in oak lawn, il. I found a general doctor and explained the situation and he told me he will prescribe me 1 script of pain meds but no more. Im not wanting 2 depend on these for a long time but I have a 4 month old that I have trounle holding cause of the pain in my arm. I hate when someone tells me they get 180 norcos a month prescribed for back pain and im over here with all this metal in my arm having a hard time getting it for me.
Dr Yang? Good doctor?
