Pain Management Oxycodone

Hi everyone. I'm 57 yrs old and have bad back pain my pm Doctor is upfront with me when he says he's afraid of going to jail for writing 3o mg oxycodone. I'm stunned when I see how much money my ins co pays him for all the shots he gives me each month. He has no problem cashing the cheques and doesn't care that they have no effect on my body- as long as his business profits and he has no exposure to the DEA. I understand his concerns but he is ethically obliged first to my health and pain reduction. Anyone identify? Anyone aware of pain management doctors who advocate for patients first and have the guts to take a stand against DEA guidelines who can administer pain meds relevant to the my needs. I live in Morris co NJ,Parsippany. All responses will be answered

I had surgery on my spine 3 years ago, L-3 L-4 at allegedly the best spine hospital in america, HSS...Still have nerve pain and discs L-2, L.1 are sliding out now. It's amazing how these 'pain management' doctors stay in business. Hardly anyone gets any relief from their very expensive, very well compensated inj's. Does nothing for me. Thousands of dollars from the insurance companies. I'm no longer even able to get Lidocaine patches covered by insurance. Let alone pain management pills. They give you one prescription for tramadol if you'll agree to have these inj's. in your spine. They wont repeat prescriptions here in NYC yet I'm in horrible pain whenever I go out and walk around for any length of time. It's surprising to me that people are able to get ongoing pain meds in other states!! I hope we are able to get help going forward. What's this all about anyway? Shouldn't it be up to the individual to get help to control our lives and our pain? You can own a gun and be careless with it whenever you want, but you cant take care and be responsible for yourself? Crazy.
