The only time you hear a doctor say the term"drug of choice " he's already made an opinion about you and your conditions. Probably best to take such a persons advice with caution. But not to be hyper critical, advice about physical therapy is working for me. With narcotic pain reliever for days of therapy. I didn't have to doctor's shop to get them, I did have to follow my doctors treatment plan, and after trying several alternative medications, and getting several progress reports from pt stating my severe pain during therapy, I was given medication for acute pain.

This thread has gotten out of hand. The medical facts are that narcotics, such as hydrocodone, were never intended for the long term relief of pain. They were designed, approved and marketted as short term agents after surgery, or for acute problems. There are other treatments for long term pain, but the patient MUST be willing to listen, try, and want to succeed. If you go to a "good" doctor with the attitude that the ONLY thing that will work is drug XYZ, then you are not giving that Doctor the opportunity to help you. Maybe you need surgery, maybe other medications will help you, or other treatements may be appropriate. What is for sure is that Hydrocodone and its sisters are NOT the long term answer.
GET OVER IT, the drug of your choice has been made appropriaely harder to get hold of. Maybe you should take the hint and find an alternative approach so that you can get on with your life and not focus on finding this "remedy".
Sorry I am not a "there there my dear" kind of Doctor. I have seen too mnay patients waste their lives on this quest which never ends well.
Wish I could help you, but while you are determined to be dependant on this fools medication I do not see how I, or any reasonable practitioner, can do so.

ren, more and more state Medicaids are cutting back or not paying for Pain Management Drs. Even if you find another dr, there is no guarantee that will prescribe you the same meds you've been taking.

omg hunnny the same thing is happening to me, the same meds then after 5 years after the near paralyzing back surgery all the sudden I'm being told I have no choice but to get a pain specialist. I said what does that mean, you've been prescribing my meds 5 years now your telling me too bad start over, good god, I can't even walk and his wife is a monster money hungry evil woman that likes to talk a mill mps wow, what are we suppose to do. No good dr. will take state issued insurance. So we are disabled and barely making it now have to pay some one we don't even kno $300 to start, are they going to pick up where we were left at?

This is amazing. The dea does not care about our pain. Their funding is not based on how many people are treated legally. The problem is our society has become complacent to a broken government that takes knee jerk reactions to current issue's in order to perpetuate itself. Writing and protesting will do nothing. Until enough people are ready to do the hard ugly things this world requires to change government, it will be this way.

I'm trying to connect to your reply about finding physician who will continue a pain management program using narcotics. I have moved from New Orleans to Fort Worth and flying home every few months to see my doctor and get my prescriptions. I have been under treatment for many years, with many doctors for multiple diseases that cause pain. I got off the pain pills per my request several years ago for two years with suboxone only to become less functional. Went back on the narcotics. It's a dead end, but I've been to numerous pain clinics with alternative treatments including spinal injections, and that's a dead end also. I just need to be able to get out of bed, tolerate the pain so I can at least hold a part time job. I sold my home, came to Texas for a job, and now I may have to return home just to get my prescriptions. Physicians got me to this place by starting me on pain pills to begin with. It's not like I started taking narcotics for fun. Now you can hardly find a doctor willing to continue the same treatment they started. If you know of any physicians that will take over my management plan from LA doctor, or an outpatient clinic to prescribe detox, I'd appreciate that. I'm facing going into withdrawals soon, and that is a serious problem. Thank You.

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.

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.

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!
