So I have been getting pain meds but the last one kicked me out. I have current insurance but my taxi missed my day to pick me up. Now I'm seeing a doctor in anthem who gives me my sleeping pill and something for pain. Now I'm taking close to 10 sleeping pills every f****n night just to sleep all night and pain meds. Anyway a doctor in AZ can help? I'm on access.

I had good luck with an MD at Highland Medical Center...Dr.Lawrence Kramer. Cool guy...will even take medical marijuana patients, sometimes. He only remembers what he or his assistants write on the first couple visits...so be clear and he will be straight. The office staff is not the sharpest, at times. Ask him, first visit, to treat your chronic pain...have those m.r.i. & whatever else on paper that proves your pain. He had me back in 2 weeks to prescribe. I would still be there, but bad urinalysis result. Big oops.

Re: Cathy np (# 18)

Thank you for the info. I'm now looking for a pain Dr inPhoenix area. My previous pain Dr. (please don't think I'm dissing him) was quite old, he began to forget and get angry and verbally abusive about 9 months ago. I was going to change but before I could he became so angry with the insurance co. That on my last visit he began to project all of that anger and frustration onto me. He became so verbally abusive towards me I'm still in shock. He even told me if the pain was so bad I couldn't walk to crawl to the bathroom like an animal! I still haven't gotten over the shock of that. He then cut my meds to almost nothing and heartlessly discharged me. I have been so depressed and frankly scared to even look for another pain Dr. I don't know what to do. I think I will go see my primary Dr. and pray she can cover me until I can find a new pain Dr or I'm afraid I will die from this trauma. I have only about 1 or2 discs that aren't affected. A top neurosurgeon was going to place harringtonrods but I lost my insurance . Now I'm 68 and not a safe surgical risk. Pain meds is my only alternative. I can't / won't live like this much longer, I have lost the will to live and frankly living in the kind of pain I'm in isn't living anyway. I've never abused pain meds not ever. I just want to be able to walk to my car, shop for groceries, do ADLs and live my life. Is that an unreasonable desire, enough to justify being treated like an addict or criminal? Please, I will be grateful for any advise that can help me stay alive and WANT to stay alive.

Re: Angel (# 6)

I moved here from CT and take tramadol 50 gm BID. All i find is pain clinics that will treat the fibromyalgia. Can not even find a rheumatologist to handle my pain. Have 15 days of tramadol left. Went to a Neurologist and she said she doesn't handle fibro patients and to find a rheumatologist. I am 100% against the epi shots not even approved by the FDA due to stroke, blindness, paralysis and death, no way. Hope you found some doctor to help you. I took norco for years and pleaded with pm to put me on a non narcotic, so she put me on Tramadol 4 yrs ago. I am in a panic and not sure what i will do. Best of luck to you. Az medical sucks. CT is very different.

Believe me when I say "I understand". The simple truth of the matter is this: So many ppl abused the system for so long (obtaining pain meds when there was nothing wrong w/ them) that now the Dr's are running scared - can u blame them? After spending thousands of dollars and years in school and building a practice, every other patient is trying to get drugs to feel high on. And with the DEA coming into the Dr's office with the authority to pull their prescription writing abilities and close them down if one of their paitents is in fact only getting meds for recreational use and managed to fool the Dr, you cant blame the Dr's. However, there are those of us who are legitimate and need pain medication to function and we my friend are screwed. So the next time someone offers to buy pain meds from you...punch them right in the mouth. They make our lives hell.
