Doctors Who Will Prescribe Pain Medication In New York

many years ago i had a very bad car accident. i was in traction and did physical theraphy for a year. i had severe neck & back pain for years, but i dealt with it. then i had two pneumo thorax's on my left lung three years apart. then i had a pituitary adenoma removed transphenoidel. i developed chronic sinusitus and had sinus surgery. i also have chronic bronchitis. i had neck pain, back pain, very severe headaches, and i also had anxiety. my doctor gave me percoset and xanax for years. i tried acupuncture, chiropractics, physical therapy ect. i also had surgery on both knees for torn meniscus. my primary care dr. kept suggesting that i go for pain management. i did and i had many epidurals in my neck and back. the doctor also gave me time released morphine with rescue plls. i told him they were too strong, so he gave me provigil 100 mg 2x per day to keep me alert. i still could not take the meds they were too strong. so he worked with me and over a period of 12 years i finally got to a dose that takes the edge off and at least i have some quality of life. my problem now is that i have severe copd with emphysema i take prednisone and can no longer get epidurals. and from the side effects i have pain in both knees all the time. i have osteoarthritis, and according to my bone density diagnostics i am at high risk for fractures. according to my mri for my neck every disc in my neck is bulging with other issues also except for c7. i have pain and numbness in both hands. i'm always dropping things, i have to put everything into sippy cups. when i told them at pain management about my hands, they said to wear wrist supports. they said there is no reason to check to see if i have carpal tunnel because there is nothing they can do. i don't sleep because i can't get comfortable because of my neck, back and hands. i need an updated mri of my back i have not had one in 4 yrs. my last mri showed disc herniation at discs L1 throughLl5. i have been having a popping feeling in my back, and many times my legs just go out from under me and i fall. i have extreme pain in my back and it goes down both my legs to the heels of my feet. many times my feet get numb and also have cramps. now after being on the same pain meds for twelve years - i've been told that the dea is not allowing this amount of medication to be prescribed. so they are going to start lowering my dose.

i have to sign a narcotics contract every year for years. i've never had any problems with random UA's, even though i've only had (3) in 12 yrs. i've never run out of meds and now i have to suffer. with emphysema you have pain also along with all my other issues. i cannot even get out of bed until my pain meds. start working. i am being treated like a criminal. it's not my fault that other people abuse these drugs. in spite of what people think - you do not get "high" on these meds, it takes the edge off the pain and allows me to have at least some quality of life. i have emphysema and there is no cure, this is a slow painful way to go, but now i have to suffer because i'm sick. it's not fair that people who have legitimate reasons for pain meds are being punished. i have the diagnostics and reports to back up the reason for getting these prescriptions, but because the people who abuse them i have to suffer. i've done everything right & the dea is doing everything wrong! why don't they legalize lethal inj's. for people like me it would be more humane & certainly cost effective for medicare. i'd be the first to sign up, because if i have to live in pain, i'd rather not live at all! the dea will help the drug cartels because i'm sure there will be people going to the streets. (i won't be one) what amuses me though is that they are starting to legalize pot - watch how many auto accidents this causes, this stuff really makes you stupid. and as far as taking away pain - i think it magnifies it! and pain pills are addicting, but they allow you to have quality of life. i take many other medications (not addicting, and the side effects can be very harmful this is ok). if you have any suggestions it would be appreciated! thank you & be well

Great I'm off to Pain Management in a few weeks after not responding to Palliative care for 10 months following a Semi Truck crash . I don't know if you are looking foe Xanax but it does nothing for pain. Chances are all the medicines you mention made you sick, and Xanax is as evil as all those others, just in a different way. I hope you seek the relief you are looking for!

I desperately need an Internal or Pain Management Specialist who will prescribe. 120 -150 30 mg Oxycodone. I have multiple areas of pain and my doctor I found out was a pill mill giving large number of patients much larger quantities than I received and the DEA went after him forbidding him to continue writing narcotic pain pills. He started me on 180 30 mg and I reduced it to 150 because I always had at least 20 left over each month. Please post if you know of any on Long Island or in the city. I have become pretty much bed ridden. Thank You in advance.

Re: EDDY (# 1)

I beleive he stated he takes xanax for anxiety. If taken properly it can help with anxiety & Ptsd as well as other psych. issues. I beleive your reply was border line insulting to this individual ! To suggest pain meds & xanax are the cause of their medical state is laughable ! I'm curious of wtf you are suggesting medically speaking of all this person's ailments which one could possibly be caused by their meds ??? Are you on pain meds or ever been bed bound due to pain ??? Do you have medical credentials ??
