New To Western Oklahoma, Pain Management Is Nonexistent
UpdatedMoved from Idaho to Western Oklahoma a few months ago. My pain management Dr in Idaho gave me 2 months of prescriptions to get me through until I find a new Dr. Things haven't gone as expected, shortly after getting here I was admitted into the hospital because of a post op infection on the deep brain stimulator I had implanted for essential tremor. The device was removed, 2 brain surgeries in 8 months, I've obviously been a little off. I have no medical insurance, ran out of pain medication that I have been on for 6 years for chronic pain, scoliosis, arthritis of the spine, protruding disk in my low back, disk degeneration of the neck, chronic tendinitis in my shoulder due to an abnormaly formed shoulder joint, chronic bursitis of the hip. I finally got approved by a pain Dr but another month until I can go in. I went to the er in hopes of getting a script just to get through until my appointment, was told that the emergency room cannot prescribe narcotics. I realized that when they checked the PMP- prescription monitoring program. It probably appeared I was Dr shopping. I had my original script from my Dr in Idaho, I had a post op script from the hospital in OKC, and I had a 4 day script from a different er Dr, that I was told to go to post op when it appeared I may be developing another infection. Now I have a month to go. No pain medication, cannot sleep at night, cannot do anything during the day, and if I try to go back to the er it'll probably just screw me in a month when I go to the Dr. Anyone have ANY IDEA what I should do?? Please. I'm frustrated, I am in pain, I'm not sure how to get through the month.
