I have chronic disc, bone, nerve damage have many other nerve, bone and tendon damage. Had injections, surgery and nothing helps. Going to a pain clinic in Rhode Island and love my doctor but wait is extremely long. Don't know how to find another doctor in area who will continue to prescribe Meds on and need to cope and quality of life. My doctor understands and can't find any doctor in area who will prescribe: oxycontin, oxycodone, Xanax and Valium. Are there any doctors in RI who will prescribe same and manage pain and increase when needed?how do I find ? HELP

Hi Bobby, can I get that name of doctor who will prescribe pain meds? My doctor had his license suspended and isn't helping with referrals. I am recuperating from neck surgery and really need them (hydrocodone).

Can't believe I'm even on this website, but was just curious as to if this is going on everywhere else. My hands hurt as I type this, but I have to post a comment on this. I was in 2 auto accidents within a 3 month period back in 2009. Never suffered from neck or back pain until then. I was a healthy 50 year old who played tennis with my daughters and walked 3 miles a day. I worked full-time and came home, cooked dinner, cleaned house, etc. Things changed drastically since then. I am now on disability and can barely move some days due to the pain. I had a fusion on my neck in Jan of this year and need back surgery, but want to avoid it for as long as possible so I've been trying to manage pain with inj's. and physical therapy, and pain meds. I also suffer with a cervical syrinx and if any of you have never heard of that, google it. It's basically a cavity in your spinal cord, that fills up with cerebellum fluid and as it grows, causes horrible pain and other symptoms. I have been seeing a pain management doc for years who is wonderful and understanding. He has been prescribing Gabepentin, Zanaflex (Muscle Relaxer), 8 mg of dilaudid (hydromorphine) every 4 hrs. I have never one time had a problem with abusing my meds. Everything is done professionally, have to take urine specs sometimes and have never done anything to compromise the safety of taking these meds. So, here I sit in rural Western Pa unable to get my last prescription filled. I went to my regular pharmacy yesterday and all of a sudden, they couldn't fill it. They said they didn't have any and wouldn't probably get it in for quite some time. This is scary. They know my situation...have been going there for 4 years and yesterday, they made me feel like I was doing something evil. They told me to try another pharm, which I did. I went to 5 different pharmacies and it was the same at each store. So..what do I do?? I guess quit cold turkey! There was absolutely no warning. I have severe pain each and every day and now I fear that I will have to rely on advil or alleve or whatever!! I've tried all those and they do not touch this pain!!! I am so angry!! Why do legitimate patients have to suffer because of a few people who abused these drugs?? I really believe all of us in this situation will have to stick together and try to do something. My son lives in Colo and has told me I should move out there and get med. mar., which I had never even thought about until last night. Don't know if it would even help with this pain, but at this point, might be worth a try. Where do I go from here?? Just like to know if anyone in PA has been having this problem as well. Please let me know as I would love to know what you are doing. This is so very wrong.

I am 64 with numerous health problems causing chronic pain. Since the changes in the pain med. law, I have been unable to find a doctor in southern NH to prescribe even a minimal amount of pain meds. I have no record of drug abuse and a long history of health issues causing disabling pain going back to 1998. I'm on my 3rd primary care doctor since April and have been to 3 pain clinics in less than a year. Are there any doctors who will prescribe small amounts of low dose oxycodone? I'm tired of injections, nerve blocks and cauterizing of nerves, which doesn't last more than a few months. I'm tired of pain. What are we supposed to do?

"healthgrades" is good for looking up doctors in your area to see if they've got any kind of past negativity in their work histories - like having to be sanctioned for certain medical practice behaviors that are not good to be cited for at any point in one's history as a physician. I use that web site to look in my area every time I need to find a different doctor, and I can view their credentials, history, length of time as a physician, any sanctions, any pulled credentials, and sometimes, reviews about any given doctor that others have left.

Good luck!

St annes pain clinic. Dr guptil is a pain management dr and knows his stuff and understands. But they are strict with urines and pill counts. And they will require a MRI and a referral from your primary dr. They arent going to just take your word for it that you have something wrong with you. They want proof.

I am going to my first appointment at that pain clinic in Woonsocket and am very nervous. I heard a rumor that they don't prescribe medications on your first appointment, is this true? My quality of life is so low right now and I don't know how in the world I can wait for tests results to finally get some relief. It's not just myself suffering but my family too, they can only take so much crying, complaining, staying in bed and not being able to do fun things with my children. Please let me know about your experiences there so far!

This is not dangerous if her tolerance and pain is medically indicated. Don't judge.

Hello, I was wondering if you have their telephone number, I did try the number that someone left in a post, but it does not sound like a Doctor's office our Medical Group.. The number that I have is 401-356-4046, their is no message that indicates that it is a Doctor's office, sometimes it just rings once with no answering service, I wonder if they are still in business. Any help would be Greatly appreciated.

Hi

Any help would be so great. 8 years now. My DR retired. I was using 60mg of Morphine. Not a huge amount, especially for 8 years straight. And valium 5mg TID.

Thank you so much. Hope you are still on the board.

I know this is an old post from 2014, but I wanted to share my experience with you.
I'm so sorry you have this pain. But ther is hope!
I, too, had crippling leg pain from nerve damage. Every day by 4:00pm, I couldn't walk without a walker and still the pain was intolerable.
I was prescribed a massive dose of gabapentin for the nerve pain and it did nothing.
I asked for a prescription of Lyrica and the result has been AMAZING! Some Doctors are afraid to prescribe it in conjunction with mophine but beg if you have to. It helps with all the other nerve pain that results from damaged nerves you aren't aware are there.
It has been my saving grace and I am so grateful I have a compassionate doctor who gets mad at how timid physicians are to treat chronic pain patients like human beings.
I hope this helps.
