Pain Management Doctors In Arkansas Who Have Own Office That Takes Medicaid (Page 2)

Updated

I have taken methadone for about 9 yrs. and other pain medicines before that. I have chronic pain post polio syndrome, Degenerative arthritis, Degenerative disc. in back due to severe Scoliosis. New laws passed , so my Doctor stopped doing pain management, not sure why. The pain management clinics are expensive and they do not take medicaid. I need a Doctor for pain management that can prescribe pain medication, but who takes medicaid patients. The Disable and poor are out of luck now. Need Doctor from south Arkansas

I don't believe they do much narcotic pain treatment, they all want to do inj's, and epidural steroid inj's. are NOT FDA approved. Would NOT do one of these, they may have helped some but have heard way more horror stories than good outcomes. So please do your research first. Check youtube, they have several on the subject.

I am in Little Rock, Arkansas and in serious need of a REAL pain management doctor, and not one that just want to inj. me with everything they can, I'm allergic to steroids, and NSAIDS, have been to three so call pain management places and none will help. I have three bulging disks in lower back, with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and FAI (femoral asatubular impingement) I have the cam impingement and can not find anyone willing to treat me. I was also diagnosed with iliopsoas tendonitis and tracantric bursitis in both hips as well as arthritis because of the FAI and I'm only 39. I feel so hopeless and just want to give up, but I can not spend the rest of my live walking with a cane on good days and a walker the rest of the time, and that's only if I am actually able to get out of bed. Please someone help :'-( I don't know what to do And can't get steroid inj's. like most, unless I want to end up in the hospital on a ventilator... any help would be so grateful and greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Not many drs take Medicaid any longer because it pays so little. Also the politicians in Washington are demanding to know exactly what states are doing to discipline Medicaid Providers who are high prescribers of pain meds and anxiety meds. Google Charles Grassley and Medicaid Prescription Abuse and 2012.

There is a dr in Jonesboro ark. I just saw him. Make sure you have all your notes to him before you go. Jonesboro pain clinic 505 east Matthews. Let me know how it goes. I'm still in the process of getting in. He was astounded by the amount of pain medicine that I am on and have been on but he didn't cringe at the thought of actually giving it to me and trying to help me. He did call my current pain clinic liars and said they should be able to write me my medicine do you to the fact I supersede and am exempt from any new laws because I've been on this medication since 2007. I guess the only way we can fight back is two calls our insurance companies hardship and help them get on our side by ending up in the hospital every week or every month because of chronic pain. My primary care physician does put me in the hospital very easily when I ask for it because of pain. I'm going to have to have him advocate for me. I guess it's going to be the only way I'm going to be able to get my medicine again if ever.

Tabitha, each state Medicaid makes their own rules regarding what meds and medical they will and won't cover. The politicians in DC are putting a lot of pressure on states to have their Medicaid providers reduce opiate prescribing for chronic pain. Google Charles Grassley Medicaid Prescription Abuse

I am trying to find a pain Dr around fort Smith I have degenerative disc hip and knee problems I am on avinza but the generic does not work and they discontinue name brand avinza so now I need to see a pain dr

If you want brand avinza, I doubt if Arkansas Medicaid will pay for it. Or it may be that they will but it requires Prior Authorization, which is more paper work for Dr and many won't do it. Put Preferred Drug List Arkansas Medicaid in Google and it should tell you if they covet it and if a PA is required.

Painfully ignored , saying that a drug makes you sick and/or no longer works is common drug seeking behavior.

nancy, it is possible that your back has healed to the point that the medical evidence no longer indicates that strong pain meds are needed. Did you break any of the rules ?
