Good Doctors Wiling To Prescribe Pain Pills Charlottesville Va

Updated

Hello. I am currently under uva pain management and I'm miserable with these doctors. I never see the same dr and I am in different meds for my spine, hips, and severe nerve pain in my hips, legs, neck, shoulder and arm. Numbness in toes getting worse, when I'm on my feet longer than ten min, and loss of feeling in right hand in ring finger and pinky. I have tried gabapentin before and I told the dr it doesn't work yet they prescibed it anyways, along with baclofen 10mg 3 Times daily, diclofenac 75 mg twice a day, gabapentin 600mg 3 Times a day. Heres my issue, I am in severe pain. I cannot keep up with my kids like I wld like to, I am still not to familiar with this area but I need a doc who doesn't treat me as if I am an annoyance, a "junkie" bc I am in legitimate pain ( I have the MRI's and tests to show the issues with my spine and nerves) I need a dr who is willing to prescribe pain meds that actually work, in the charlottesville Virginia area. Does anyone know of a dr who actually doesn't want to see you in pain and wants to help? Any help or guidance is appreciated greatly.

I have been taking neurotin for a few months now and they give me the awfulist headaches I have honestly given them a chance it is the same as gabapentin and makes things just drop out of my hands for no reason I am getting scared to take it and do not know what to do any suggestions please.

Hello! How are you doing?

I wish I had some idea to help you, but I'm afraid that I really don't. Many people are frustrated and unable to get the help they need, it's gotten really ridiculous. No one deserves to be miserable.

But due to the new regulations, most pain management specialists have been flooded with patients and either aren't taking new ones, or treat patients just in the way that you've experienced.

Do you currently have a PCP that you see regularly? If so, they may be able to refer you to someone.

I'm in Richmond, would it be worth making the drive to? I have spinal arthritis, and the dr's who see it only wants to inject me which doesn't work and leads to bone deterioration. I'm a single mom of 2 boys, and I can't do it by myself anymore. Could you send me his info... And please let me know. {edited for privacy}. I'm getting to my wits end.

did you have any luck? i am in charlottesville with a similar problem, and i cant find a doctor with the courage to prescribe. all i'm looking for is enough narcotic pain medication to get me through the acute phase (5 days, 20 pils altogether) of a flare up of one of 3 injuries. this happens to me about once every 4 years--the acute phase is excruciating. after that, it subsides & i can live with the pain. if i wanted to take narcotics recreationally, they're not hard to find, so this is the opposite of drug-seeking. still, my dr. wont prescribe.

Could you please let me know Dr Landers's first name and if he is part of a group practice, or is a he practicing independent of a group?

This is an urgent request..my PCP at UVA plans to discontinue my pain meds completely next month, and I'm actually fearful of getting suicidal again because of the pain. Please, please help!
