Doctor In Richmond Va Who Will Prescribe Opiates For Severe Chronic Pain (Page 4) (Top voted first)

I have moderate to severe Degenerative Disc Disease of Cervical Spine with severe narrowing (stenosis) along with bulging and herniated discs with severe arthritis (osteo) also in cervical spine with boney spurs. I also have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome ad Chronic Fatigue. My pain management doc has done many different procedures, non giving much relief and no long term relief. She has told me there is nothing more she can do. So, I need a Primary Care Doctor who will take over writing my Morphine and Muscle Relaxer. My current Primary Care doctor said she trusted me totally but could not write RX for opiates. I need help. I will not be able to function without some pain meds. I live in Gen Allen, a Richmond, VA suburb. Please helpp. Thank you.

FunGuy....What's the name of this medication? If you don't mind sharing, that is :-) I am on an Extended Release medication as well as an Instant Release, however, sometimes my breakthrough pain can be quite unpredictable.

Kat and Bluebell.... Dr bonner does prescribe narcotic pain medications now. He is a stickler though for not giving too many but I have seen him now for the last 2 months and he has a funny personality and its definitely a trust thing with him... meaning he is NOT going to give you what you HAVE been given in the past (quantity) but ensures you if what he does prescribe doesn't work well enough then he will do some other things next visit. He did have to add an extended release medication for me the last time I went in. He asks a ton of questions to weed out the drug seekers so it is a good thing for us.... the true severe chronic pain sufferers. I must say though that it is a busy office so it takes a couple of weeks to get your first appt and if you have insurance that he doesn't accept then your first visit is a little over $300.00 and then each follow up refill appt is $113.00 .... the down side to this particular saving grace. I sure hope this helps.

Hi BlueBell.. Yes definitely, but have to get back in here in a little while.. Bad day with pain. But yes moderators thank you and I do want to share information.

Hi Chris.. So surprising about Bonner.. I saw him about nine years ago, and I actually liked him but he was dead set against opiates. I actually heard him on the phone with another doctor I believe. He actually said something about the j'junkies' (if memory serves me correctly) that they had there. Do you mind sharing just a bit about your problem.. Trying to figure out if it's worth trying him again.. Thanks so much for sharing and helping.

Dear Kat-
I am so sorry to hear that you're having a bad pain day and I really hope that it doesn't stay that way for too long :-( I just clicked the link provided to us by the Administrators and sent them "My side of the permission" LOL now I think you have to do the same (judging by what the MedsChat Admin said in his comment to us.) I am hoping that they will be able to get us in touch with one another very soon as I have some "great news/information" to share with you! (At least I hope it will be Great for you) :-) Hope to talk to you soon and that you're already starting to feel better my friend!

Just as an FYI, I called to try and make an appointment with Dr. Erika Young due to the fact that apparently there don't seem to be any PAIN SPECIALIST doctors in the Richmond area that actually believe in prescribing pain meds anymore...and due to her name being mentioned on the internet (not sure if it this posting or not) she is no longer taking any patients. Just wanted to post an update to that effect.
