Please Help! Anyone Know Of Florida Doctors Who Still Prescribe Pain Meds??

Hi everyone, I am a 55 yr old woman who was diagnosed 2 months ago with severe osteoarthritis in hands , neck and spine and left hip! I also found out I now have Fibromyalgia 16 of the 18 trigger point areas?? and am finally ( thank you God) in remission from 7 years of treatment for Leukemia .... I have 2 broken ribs from tripping n falling at home and a rotater cuff injury ( still don't know how got that one)! and lastly Dr said I have bursitis in my left hip! I do NOT abuse any drugs whatsoever and am currently on drug for my arthritis called Nabumetone for inflammation and up to 8 Motrin per day for pain as well as and Celebrex! They are all killing my stomach and cause me such pain! I am so begging for any Doctor in Florida where I now have retired to see me and prescribe me ANY pain killer so I just can move and get around normally each day! I am of normal weight and have never been addicted to anything but I truly cannot live like this anymore with laying on a heating pad all day and night and being "inactive" from once being just 1 year ago a very active person ! PLEASE PLEASE HELP! ??I have wonderful insurance and can also afford to pay ! I just need my life back and nothing has helped not even holistically ( i.e acupuncture and massage of which I receive weekly )

Good luck, once your off the med school they won't give you anything narcotic, I made the mistake of trying get to get off my meds. I've had neck surgery *due to breaking my neck* I had lower back surgery I have DDD. I currently do spinal inj. and neck and shoulder inj's. I'm told they have a small quantity of meds. They you save for more severe cases. I'm surgeon says you can have your pain meds back if you have another back surgery, which I'm going to need because the physical therapy and spinal inj. only take the edge of my pain. It's Dec 28th and I'm laid up in bed all day today, barely can walk, in so much pain due to over doing the Christmas holiday. This is what makes people turn to street drugs, when your doctors refuse to help you...really sad.

Dr. David Norfleet in Crestview FL just north of Ft Walton Beach.
Tip...DO NOT piss off the office girls or manager. THEY control your scripts, NOT the doctor or nurse practicioner and they know it! The Dr and NP don't realize what's going on and I don't think they care. BUT. If you get in good with the girls up front, paticularly the office manager, she'll give you scripts without having to get the Dr permission and even signs them. I know this. She did it right in front of me. Print from the computer, add signature and there you go, have a nice day. Dead serious here. DO NOT make her mad or you're gone as a patient. Seen it and heard about it while sitting in the waiting room too many times. They don't care that the entire waiting room can hear them because they know they are gods in the PM community. They hold our lives in their hands. They know it and LOVE it!
But, you can get what you want if you play it right. Don't fail a ua, have your records and make sure you cry...when you go in...DON'T take your meds that take the pain away before you go in. Make sure you go in with your full pain in effect. They need to SEE it. Otherwise, they just hear blah, blah, blah, I want pills, blah, blah, blah...
Moultons pharmacy in Crestview or the Prescription Place in Niceville carries their heavier scripts like Oxys, Dilaudid and Fentanyl. No trouble filling any of those ever!
Not one time. Always in stock.

Hi joedirt1945 I'm moving to Tampa and need a doc for my pain meds! My doc retired in MD and I just moved here to take care of my mom.
I'm getting real nervous reading all the horror stories of people not being able to find a doc to prescribe their same meds. I have my last 2 years of records I brought with me but can get 10 if I need it ! Can you give me the name of your doc ???
