Pain Meds In New State
UpdatedHi I just moved from Washington State to Portland,Oregon. I am on SSDI for back injury,3 bulging disks and massive arthritus in neck,and 3 in thoratic back,and for Degenerative disk disease.I was going to a pain management center-referred to them by my regular doc,& they had me taking Norco-Vicodin 30 mgs a day. When I came to Portland,OR the doc that I'm seeing now said she's going to "wean me off" of pain meds,that I need to be able to function doing just everyday living things like showering,walking the dog,ect. I asked her then what? After I'm completely off them,she said well U could try PT but U said that hasn't worked in the past-which it didn't the PT I went to actually sent me home saying it was making condition worse/more pain. What I need to know is does anyone know of a pain doc here in Portland,OR that they could refer me to? I have MRI's,CAT scans,medical documentation that warrents pain meds.Any help would be appreciated since current doc suggested I go to another clinic but at the same time she has no problem prescribing much stronger pain meds for my friend,oxy's,ect ,that her conditions aren't nearly as bad as mine!!
