Pain Doctors Alabama (Page 2)

My dr in Mont., AL has been prescribing me 3 80mg oxycontin for several years. My visit last week he refilled my script and said it could be the last because he was told there was diversion possibly coming from his practice. Btw that was 3 a day. If he doesn't refill my script on my next visit, I need to find a Dr. quick. Is it legal not to wean a patient off? The pain clinics in this town are full.

Evidently you dumb butt have never been in a bad head on car wreck, by someone who was in this great Country ILLEGALLY and then 2 yrs later thrown by a horse and trampled by another when I was thrown. Bless your heart you are unable to TO have empathy for another human being....then again maybe you are the one addicted and on here to divert the attention from yourself to others. Either way I feel for you sad person that can only break others down rather than encourage and build them up if there were anyone here addicted your comments would only kick them further down. BTw.... why are you on a question about pain medication if you are so against it.

Hello , I am new here, I live in PA and have been in opioid theapy for 12+ years.(30 mg oxycodone and 80 mg oxycontin) I have chronic pain issues caused by degenerative ARTHRITIS in entire body plus fibromyalgia and buldging and herniated discs in my neck through entire back, my doctor recently dismissed me from her office due to not being able to establish a VIABLE PATIENT/DOCTOR relationship. Knowing I need 2 surgeries for joint REPLACEMENTS had nothing to do with Medicine etc but because I was admittedly scared to have surgeries due too other serious health issues, NOW with this short notice I am finding it extremely difficult to find a doctor especially one that will help with my pain issues
Any help of a doctor or pain clinic that somebody could suggest within 100 miles of Harrisburg PA would be greatly appreciated.
I have never ABUSED medication or pain contract and always passed urine and pill counts, Now I am lost and have severe anxiety over this..and feel No help is out there. Thank you.

I've recently moved from Florida to Dothan, Al. I finally got true pain relief when my doctor prescribed 120 oxycodone 10mg and 60 opana ER 20mg, which if I take them as prescribed these 2 meds together are the ONLY THING THAT COMPLETELY RELIEVES MY PAIN. I've been on this crappy ride for 20+ years. I hate having to take meds everyday. Now I'm in Alabama and these folks haven't ever heard of opana er, there are 2 pain clinics here and they both turned me away because the amount of meds I take for several things wrong with me. I think they are afraid to prescribe anything other than Norco or Percocet 10/325 and only 60 each month and you have to be very close to death to even get this (Norco + Percocet); which do absolutely nothing to relieve my pain. Please help me here in Alabama. Thank you. If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.

If you could travel to Shelby County, the Doleys Clinic might be a good solution for you.

I have been on methadone for about 20 years. Have had a couple of pain management drs that were writing my prescription for methadone; one got shut down & the other also got shut down by the DEA. The last pain dr had me on prescription methadone and when the new health care act by obama came in and changed regulations for all pain drs he took me right off methadone after 20 YRS and tried me on oxymorphone and it worked but barely did nothing compared to what methadone had. I guess taking methadone for 20 yrs just wasn't enough. Had to finally go to a methadone clinic bc there were absolutely no more drs that were prescribing methadone anymore. And what the government was allowing pain drs to prescribe just wasn't working. The methadone clinic is so expensive and also I feel as if im an addict trying to get off opiates.. But that's so not the case. I just have chronic back pain and need a Dr evaluating and managing my pain. Cannot find one anywhere in Alabama. Would be willing to travel right over the state lines if i could find a good pain dr and only had to go once or twice a month I would do that. I have Medicare, but I would pay cash if i could find a good and caring pain dr.. Can anyone help please?..or could anyone give me any advice please? Searching in Alabama...

Re: Verwon (# 1)

Not always. My spine specialist in New Orleans had prescribed me 4-80mg oxycontin ER a day along with 5-30mg oxycodone IR a day. He moved into a new practice with other doctors and within 6 months was walked out through the waiting room in handcuffs. The other doctors in the practice refused to treat me because of the amount of medication I was prescribed from him. I've been having trouble ever since locating a new doctor.

Julie, I know with methadone clinics it's a case by case basis, but I think there's a good chance from what you are describing.

Hello. I have a knot on my right hip in the back. It shoots pain down my butt and my right leg goes numb. Some days I can't walk or if I'm on it for any length of time it will give and I will fall. I also have bone marrow problems on the right side. Also I have 2 pulled muscles on the right side. One in my right butt cheek and 1 right above the right cheek. I have no insurance but I really need one. I had MRI's done when I had insurance. I really need help. I'm having trouble in Alabama finding a Dr that takes cash pay. Thank you.

I wish everyone luck finding a pain management doctor. I never, ever, ever would've moved to AL if I had known how I'd be looked down on and made to feel embarrassed for needing pain management. I'm 57 yrs old, disabled, and have never been treated like this. The name of pain doctors here are like a national treasure...meaning they're a big secret. My chart was requested from my prior (and sorely missed, no pun intended. lol) pain doc from FL, whom I had seen for 14 years. After my new GP doctor received it I got 4 weeks of steroids. Woo-hoo. I'm going to sell my house and get the hell out of this state as soon as I can, but it'll probably be a couple of years until I can sell. Until then I'll sit on my couch looking outside my window wishing to be out enjoying it, but can't enjoy much at all because there's too much pain.

Hi, I have been seeing a pain specialist for 16 years after a botched spinal fusion on multiple disk. All was good for years until he had to start testing me and I was caught with marijuana in my system. I had been consuming marijuana for 25 years and stopped a few years ago. Now I am having to take more and more opioid meds. Marijuana helped my meds to be so much more effective. Does anyone know of a marijuana friendly pain doctor in Alabama? The CDC even states that pain doctors don't have to test for marijuana. Thanks for any help or info. Sincerely
