Searching For Help In Southwestern Mo, After A Move To Retire

I'm 63 and have been with a pain management Dr for 12 yrs, due to many diagnoses of pain issues. Took my Dr's advice and I have been trying many things. Finally we got two meds ms coton 60mg and roxicondone for breakthrough pain. It finally started helping me and my husband and I have moved to southwestern MO, and can't even see a Dr for 4 months. And I don't even know what will happen. I came very close to death last year in March, my husband was told I would not make it thru the night. But I lived and no one said anything about my two pain meds bcuz I take them properly and have never abused my meds. A Dr put me on these meds, now just because people that should not even have it, get it, don't follow directions, and over dose. Well so can alcohol and over the counter medication, but no, pick on the pain sufferers that actually need pain management. And what really is BAD, a Dr won't even help you get off of them. And try something else, nothing, just shut us down, do nothing, and guess what happens for long term patients as my self and others that can't just stop, or they will die. How is that even American, and Dr's are not all money hungry and give you anything you want. Just a Dr that can provide some quality of life. That is all I want. Is that so bad? They giveth and taketh away. Hell with you, die, that is what the government wants. Another wonderful thing Obama did before he threw Americans to the dogs. This is so unfair to pain suffering adults. What's next, baby aspirin, or Tylenol, Tylenol will kill you. That is why I take Roxicondone, no Tylenol. Why is this happening??? Someone please help me bcuz the Dr's here in southwestern MO are only doing one thing, charging our insurance and calling us druggies. Well I am NOT trying to do this for sympathy, I just want to continue a little quality of life, instead of being in a wheelchair. What if these Dr's get heath problems with PAIN, see what they do. I can go to OK., Ark., Kansas city, I don't care, I just want a good Dr that knows about severe pain 24/7. God bless you all. I'm feeling your pain. I refuse to sit on my bottom the rest of my life. People live in severe pain, we need help, not thrown to the streets. SAD... Can anyone just help me? Not asking for the lotto, just some time with my grand children, and my wonderful husband.

Help needed for PCM and Pain Management Dr. Just moved here from West coast and finding a Dr is important and feeling desperate. I'm to old for this stress. Doesn't help my horrible pain one bit. Please help. Will go anywhere around the southwestern part of Missouri. OK, Kansas, Joplin. St Louis, I don't care.
