How Do You Find A Pill Mill

I had a failed back surgery from a workers comp incident and my original pain doctor had me on 30 mg of oxycodone four times a day, he had left the practice to become a full time anesthesiologist at a hospital, where I live I had a hard time finding pharmacies that could fully fill my prescription so I would hold back the last dew days before my doctors visit so I'd have some invade the pharmacy had to order them. Apparently since I was saving a few days worth my urine tests were tested and came back as a failed test, I had told the doctor that took over the practice and he had released me accusing me of abuse, now that is in my workers comp records and now even when I tell the new doctors why I failed the tests they won't give me anything but Percocet 10 .325 which is like taking a Motrin after having surgery it does not help at all. I've even told the doctor that I'd come in every day for my daily dosage for roxiecodone so they would know I'm not abusing or selling my medication but he refuses stil, do anyone know what else I can do or any doctors who will actually help in Cincinnati ? Please help me

You're going to need help from unconventional physicians such as those that advertise on Laundromat bulletin boards.

Regardless of your sincerity, the medical profession starkly classifies patients w/o consideration of the personal circumstances including yours. Any reasonable person could understand why you skipped days but doing so resembled the profile of drug abuse and a doctor knowledgeable about it endangers themselves by treating you.

A "housecall" doctor with less rigid standards accustomed to serving drug seekers and the fringe elements of society would understand your plight while recognizing you stand apart from their usual clientele.

Whether they manage to remain in practice before eventual classification and shutdown by the DEA is less certain but your condition may improve by then or you'll be relegated into repeating the search process for another housecall doctor at an undetermined point in the future.

Ordering online medications can result in receiving pills made from road paint or mislabeled bath salts, receiving the proper medication from online doctors should be done without any expectation of success since receiving what you ordered is an isolated miracle.

The only thing you're guilty of was trying to manage your own discomfort in a manner relevant to yourself.

Cincinnati is large enough to find what I've described, but it's still connected to the "Pail Pill Corridor" and the stigma is one reason your doctor harshly expelled you.

I have FBSS also. The pain doctor I was referred to wanted to immediately a spinal cord stimulator. For me it was extremely hard to except the fact that I was getting a machine in my body for the rest of my life. My orthopedic doctor had fired me because he read a post on my Facebook that said I was so frustrated I didn't know what to do. I am disabled due to severe depression and PTSD. When I have a PTSD episode I cut. So my pain doctor now refused to do the stimulator. The third month I saw him I disclosed that one time I took a puff of marijuana and I was telling him because we were early in treatment and at that point I would be able to find any other pain doctor. He said that since it came out negative for marijuana she could not fire me. I went ahead and let them do two nerve blocks even though I have had several Cortizone shots that made my condition worse. So he said he did not give me any more Cortizone shots and because of my PTSD not being in control he would not do the nerve stimulator. He continued to prescribe medication because of the nerve root blocks. It made my situation worse, so I was taking 30 mg of OxyContin twice a day. Plus I was prescribed Percocet five a day for breakthrough pain. Most of the time there were many times I did need the five. So I went in to see him but instead of being taken to a examination room I was taken to an office and nobody was there and I was told that I was being fired because at one point I allegedly got muscle relaxers from two doctors. That was probably true when I was switching from my ortho doctor to the pain management doctor. There probably was a time that both of those medications were prescribed. But I never picked up the prescription from the ortho doctor, only took the one from the pain doctor. But it was at a time when we were switching over. Right now I have only enough pills to get me through maybe four days. I can't find a Doctor who will prescribe any medication. The delay in all of this is not my fault I have no idea what I'm going to do when I run out of pills. I begged my primary care physician to prescribe the medication and I would go daily to pick up the medication, she was so mean and said no. Now my insurance carrier had sent me to two doctors in this 30 day period. Neither one of them does medication management; the first one does but because I just disclosed my one puff of marijuana she said she does Not Treat street addicts. I immediately called my insurance carrier again to tell them what happened is it be to another doctor he told me that the best thing for me would be a pain pump. I told him that I felt ready. I told him it wasn't easy for me to except the fact that I will never dance again but I had worked extremely hard in therapy and was at a point that I was no longer suicidal. So now I am getting suicidal again because I am losing hope to find a doctor that's going to treat me. That pain doctor has ruined all my chances to go in with another doctor because of my disclosure about that marijuana even though he does not have one U/A showing that it comes out positive for any drugs. My primary care physician, she says go to the hospital. Right, the hospital will do nothing. I took a major fall because my legs went numb. When I went to the hospital they didn't even x-ray me. I went in to see a doctor. I was healthy but when the pain manager gave me six steroid shots and carried it for months I was sick. I don't trust doctors anymore. He paralyzed me and abandoned me and yeah I don't know what I'm gonna do. I know I'm not addicted but I know what my pain is without medication and when the pain sets in because the medication is gone I will not be able to be responsible for what I do to relieve my pain. I'll probably start drinking, I've been sober 11 years, maybe even go back to cocaine because it works in the nervous system. They are turning me into a street addict because they won't give me the medication. I mean I'm trying to do things right because I'm not that painful and I want all of this to be over. I won't resort to drinking and cocaine because it just brings on worst depression but I will self injure and I don't know how far I'll go and they made me suicidal again. I can't take any of the medications that are non-narcotic that I would love to take. I just feel mad at everybody. I don't know how I am going to live in a bed in the pain that I'm going to be in and I hate the police, I really do, but I will call them and say it's an emergency. But the worst part is that my son started it, she said that I was taking too much of my medication and when I was eating, food was falling out of my mouth. First of all I didn't want to eat and I had just taken my medication. I had only gotten four hours of sleep, I was so tired and I did not want to go eat breakfast. I was literally dragged off the couch, my shoes were put on me so I could go. I am disabled, I do receive SSD. I know my son is saying that he is going to call them and tell them that I am using street drugs because he found out about the marijuana. Everything would've been fine if he would have called my psychiatrist. That's where it all started. He's been calling me a disgusting pig and that he went and paid $4000 for my funeral. Well at this rate he better not be lying that he did that because I am going to die. I know this injustice from Brady doctors who didn't do their job right has me here, my fusion hasn't even healed. And I got the surgery over two years ago. I feel I have nothing to look forward to but death. What is threaded taking the meds, students feeling so much better and happy I was gonna go back to school and now I'm just going to die. I have no hope. It's this stupid law and that you're just gonna turn chronically ill people into junkies. It's not fair because I don't want to die. People say she was a junkie. I don't deserve that. I worked hard all my life and I don't see any hope. Thanks for listening. I know you're in the same position. I hope you can make it. Give hope to the others who suffer like we do. I can't do it, I'm not gonna make it.

Yeah as a doctor I find it odd that you have to take narcotics on a rigid schedule and you can't take them prn for fear you might have a clean drug screen and then be discharged from the clinic as a suspected drug diverter. I have seen that happen

One lady told me she doesn't have constant pain every day to the point she has to take an opiate. She had a clean drug screen once (no opiates detected in her system). She was given a warning and told if it happens again she would be discharged and that if he the pain doctor wrote for her to take narcotics three times a day without fail that she must do it.

So how did we end up here?

I know this won't help you but I try to warn patients when they switch doctors or if one doctor offers to refill your meds then don't ever fill two prescriptions for a similar class of medicines within 29 days or less of each other. You will likely get fired from both clinics.


We get calls from pharmacies and medicaid DUR sends us a letter when that happens. Most docs at that point will fire the patient.

Re: Patty (# 4)

It's not so much the doctors that care about marijuana use. In fact they could care less. It's the insurance companies. They look at it like this, if they are paying most of your doctors bills and paying for the prescriptions and u have marijuana in your system they look at it as "self medicating" even though thats a load of BS, thats what their excuse is.. I was told this by a close family physician.. Hope this helps.
