Does anyone know a doctor that is good about prescribing pain killers like hydrocodens 10/325 in fort worth Texas? I am a diabetic type 1 that has a lot of pain and really in need of a good doctor that can help me out and not think i am faking pain.

Pompous little tin god. Let me come rip your left shoulder out of socket 20X, pull a rotator cuff tear in your left one, hit your knees until 4 surgerys later including acl transplants and massive bone grinding, you can't sleep at night and everytype of exercise causes enough pain, until your weight blows up to give you type 2 diabetes.

AMEN!!! I'm right there with you. I'm currently dealing with an a**hole rhuemotologist at JPS (county hospital for the uninsured) who is jerk know it all who thinks diet and exercise is a cure all. I asked him how the hell I am supposed to do PT when I can barely walk some days at a normal pace!! My PCP sent me to him because it looks like I am on the brink of being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Actually, I should say another one since I've been dealing with Fibromyalgia for over 20+ years. But you know that Fibro is no big deal, though! BS!!! I've had over 20 surgeries since 1998! I've had bilateral ankle repair/stabilizations, 3 extensive knee surgeries (twice on the right, once on the left), 2 failed rhizotomies for my back, right wrist surgery, 3 L rotator cuff repairs which included a bursectomy, an acromionectomy, a tennis ball size cyst removed and the worst of all, a biceps tendonesis (because the bicep had torn away from the bone trying to compensate for the torn RC so it had to be reattached with a large bone screw). I've had more than 30 cortisone inj's. in my right hip/joint for Illiotibial Band Syndrome and osteoartritis and now have "snapping hip" and osteoarthritis in my left hip. In addition to those I have a Baker's cyst in my left knee which is a cyst full of synovial (joint) fluid where the joint is leaking and causing knee pain and leg swelling. For the icing on the cake my right knee has a torn meniscus which needs to be fixed. Despite alllll of this I am being told basically that I have to suffer!! My ridiculous PCP gives me Tramadol and Robaxin for pain and Lyrica for the Fibro. Not mention the absurd amount of anti depressants because she thinks I am depressed. As I've told her....I'm NOT depressed! I am pissed off and sick of friggin' hurting allll the time! She wants me to see Pain Management however JPS is such a joke and they treat their doctors like crap that every PM doc they've had has quit! The only one who remained (that all the patients loved) just quit recently because he was tired of being worked like a government mule and dictated to as to how to treat and medicate his patients. So...he walked out one day after his last patient and refused to go back. Basically, that means there is no PM in the network right now. Her suggestion was to go see one outside of the network and then bring back his recommendation and she would go from there. Sure, that's a great idea IF I HAD THE MONEY!! I wouldn't be using the county health system if I could afford to go outside of it, believe me!! So, I just continue to hurt every damn day, not to mention I can't do the things I need, want and should be able to do with my 8 and 5 yr old kids. I'm tired of our damn government dictating what and how doctors can treat their patients and with what. Last I checked we still live in a democracy but maybe I'm wrong. The fact that hydrocodone is becoming a schedule 2a is ridiculous!! But more than that is the fact that friggin' Tramadol (glorified asprin/ibuprofen, IMO) is now a controlled drug! Why???? Just because it has the ability to act as a narcotic does NOT make it one. Here is what I told my doctor is going to happen...there will be a dramatic increase in pharmacy thefts, more and more legitimate pain patients (who are treated like junkies by our govt) will start using illegal methods to obtain their meds because they can't get them legitimately and there is going to be a sharp rise in the number of patients overdosing on Tramadol because that is all doctors can or will give!! Maybe once all of this starts happening the damn DEA and DPS will reconsider their position on the meds, though I highly doubt it!!!!

I wish I knew why doctors think that patients should have no say in their personal health, unless they want to abort a baby.
Impressive since 50% are in the lower half of their educational class and more than that are screwups with God complexes

Sorry that you received abuse for your thoughtful response. America is the only country where this type of prescribing is not only prevalent, but considered a right by so many patients. I do not doubt that these patients hurt, but we see so many who are needlessly on the quantities of meds that they does themselves each day. Function and pain control is the goal in our office, and the patient must be willing to work at the problem going to physical or even psychological therapy (over 50% of patients in pain will benefit from psychological therapy - no I am not saying they are crazy, just that they would benefit from the advice and guidance of a good councilor).
Please do not write abusively about my offices practices. We have our successes, and others who believe in a more medicine related approach may have theirs.
Thank you.

I asked to be put on Suboxone for 3 months. I wanted to stop taking so much medication myself. Am I labeled for life? My pcp called me last week and told me not to return to his office??

Jen, Is your pcp the one you asked to put you on Suboxone ? Suboxone is used to treat opioid addiction. Not every dr can prescribe Suboxone.

Jen, even if you didn't ask or get the Suboxone from your pcp. He will know you're taking it by looking you up in your states Prescription Monitoring Program.

So it looks like we are all in the same boat! We should organize a public protest! I won't be able to attend though, debilitating spinal pain without quality treatment has me immobilized currently. To our elected officials- thanks for the new restrictions you have put in place. I'm sure crime has been drastically reduced! Thanks for protecting me from my doctor, the decade he spent in school surely isn't as good as your foresight and appropriate action. But don't worry, we are all just disabled Americans and some of us our combat veterans, what can we do now that our bodies are used up! Lucky you!

Jenn, it will be nearly impossible, if not impossible, to find a dr who will rx you a pain med that you became addicted to and had to be put on maintance meds for that addiction. You may or may not be able to find a pill mill dr somewhere to rx the pain meds. You need to get a copy of your medical records from both drs and see exactly what they have written down about why your were taking the Suboxone. I seriously doubt that your medical records state you were taking Suboxone because you wanted to cut back on your pain meds.

I totally agree with you! Even my surgeon (who also owns the pain mgmt clinic I go to) has his panties in a bunch because of the DEA & the new laws! The i****s who passed these laws must not have ever suffered from acute/severe/chronic pain.
