Hi Shelly,

Brad, I'm on United Healthcare Medicaid and can't find a pain doc here in Nashville..(due to interactions with other meds-I had false readings and have been through and lost them all). I have removed every other medication that affected my Oxy use and FINALLY have no problem taking only 4 of the 30mgs but now can't find any doc who will prescribe more than 10! I also have stopped taking an extended release because I found out I should have never been given one in the first place due to menopausal/HRT issues. I have found a doc in Clarksvilke for $397! The only people who can afford that are those who sell their pills! Does your doc take Medicaid? More specifically United Healthcare Community Plan?

I need help in finding a PM doctor who does not judge and understands my healthcare problems. The condition I suffer from is not curable and only treated through pain management. Doctors need to understand that everyone's pain is different and quit treating as a pill junkie. I would give anything to get out of pain management but i can't live in pain. I tried to give up pain management and lasted 2 weeks. The pain I was in had my life miserable. I had no life, couldn't or have no quality in life. My PCP is supervising my pain management till January till I got to find a pain management Doctor. Any advice. CPS and PMG doesn't accept my insurance. I have United Healthcare. TennCare/Medicaid. SSI Disability. Plz help

Hi Nashvillelady
I want to move to Northh Carolina but I'm afraid that the Doctors here will not continue my mess. Therefore I have stuck it out here were I am but anyway I'm sure u can get in at the pain clinic in Nashville Tn. Type in pain clinic/ Antioch Tennessee .. that's still pretty much in Nashville. Let me know how it goes. I'm positive you will be able to get in. They will do all your test over again.

Hey Jay. I actually live in Nashboro village. And I went to the walgreens and they would not fill it cause my pain clinic is in Clarksville. Which is stupid when i live right down the 3rd from Walgreens. And not my fault that only place I could find to take my insurance is in Clarksville

MIKr finally going in to IPC....how are they with marijuana?...I'm going through withdrawal...appt is next week and I've been self medicating since CPS stopped taking my insurance. So 6 months of searching for a good doc n self medicating...all very expensive...if there is THC in my system will they still prescribe the 15mg Roxy? I've been prescribed 30mgs for past seven years plus a long acting which I will no longer take due to hypothyroidism.

Brad, try Walgreens on Murfreesboro Rd at Nashboro Village. They accept Discount Cards and 112 of the Generic Actavis Brand is 232.00. Hope this helps. Also you can try the Walgreens on Hwy 96 in Franklin....Good Luck.

Jaysmo976, I've been going to Hope for 4 years but the director Chad left n they can't write scripts now. I haven't been able to find a new pm Dr as caring. If you have info on 1 i could see till miss Carolyn gets a new director I'm definitely going back to Hope because they do care n don't treat u like a junkie. They understand ppl in chronic pain for many yrs.

Is there a way I could get the name of a pain dr. That will not be afraid to prescribe long and short acting. My dr just up and left. I went to one tues and they basically said he can't help me because my situation can be corrected and medication is thr only thing that can help and he doesn't like to prescribe levels that I'm on. I was sout of meds and he sent me with a smaller 2 week dose on just short acting and schedule me for a 2 week appointment if I wanted to go down to like a 10mg oxycodone from 30mg and long acting. That's impossible. I'm hurting bad with just going down to a 20mg and no long acting. I don't want just medication but that's all that can treat this until orthopedic surgeon says different. I need someone that takes tenncare as I just got laid off and had surgery on something different and they sent me in to be approved for tenncare.

My Rx Coverage SSI Medicaid, does not cover my Oxymorphone ER 15mg. I am back on the 15mg again. Before I finally got ssi disability and i was on the 15mgs I only paid $186 @ Walgreens. Then when i got approved for ssi disability and PM I was going to didn't accept my Healthcare Insurance. And they wouldn't let me pay cash because it was against the law. I finnaly found a PM Doctor. And they put me on the 7.5mg Oxymorphone 2x a day and i was paying $175. Now I am back on Oxymorphone 15mg 3x a day and of course I have to pay cash. And cheapest I could find was $490 for 90 of them. Is there anyone who has the same problem as me? Where Medicaid won't pay for Oxymorphone and know of a pharmacy that lets you use discount Rx card where the cost isn't as high?
Live in Nashville, TN

Hi Jill. I read your post dated 18 Aug about a good pain management doctor. Would you mind e-mailing me his name and phone #? I have been in pain management since 1992 when wounded in the gulf war. I am in need of a new PM doctor since my current one is retiring soon. Thank you in advance, John. I live in the Nashville area if this is where the doctor is located.

The odds of getting a prescription for that strength and dosage as a new patient are slim to none in this day an age of pharmaceutical abuse. CPS Comprehensive Pain Specialists or PMG Pain Management Group are the 2 major providers in Nashville and surrounding communities. Both require a current MRI or CT Scan and will start you on a lower dose, only once other preventative methods (like inj's.) and time have failed will they increase medications. Learn to pace yourself to lessen the inevitable pain that comes with over exertion.

I need new PM Dr. One I go to now started cutting my meds in half. They don't understand doing that without warning is rough when u been on same mg for 3+ years. Any help? And what gets me is I have went by policy. Never miss pill count. And they treat you like they have the higher power. I didn't ask to be in PM but my condition of health I am in would have me in pain and not live life. After someone has been on certain pain meds for a period of time, the medication doesn't work as well but that wanna treat people like junkies when everyone isn't like that. So since they cut both my pain meds in half 2 weeks ago, it has been pure Hell. Withdrawals were so bad the first week it was making wanting to take more but I knew if I did it would meds up my pill count And make me run out. So for 2 weeks I've been in the worst pain of my life since starting PM and for those reading this and thinking I'm just a junkie wanting more pain meds, you are wrong. My health problems I have is a disease that causes my bones to start breaking in my limbs and causes infection. There is no cure, just treatable through PM then in time I lose that limb. I have already lost my right leg and now left hand is starting to break and have pins and rods holding bones together so amputation don't have to happen soon. Left foot is breaking too, arch broke in half and ankles shattered and been told that I'll be losing my left leg in bout 9 months cause there is nothing left to been done to try and save it. After all this, pain clinic cut my meds in half. Any help? Not looking for a pill mill but a clinic with caring doctors. In in Nashville area

PMG is a clean clinic. They don't tolerate abusers of medication or other illegal substances but if your pain is genuine they'll take care of you. They have lowered and increased my dosages over the 6 years I've been a patient always fairly. If you're in pain and have the MRI's to justify it, Pain Management Group will help you. If you're diagnosing yourself don't waste your time. Accepts Cigna/Health Springs.
