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.

I have been going to a pain doctor in Burleson for my back and he has helped so very much.
Re: Lyn (# 34)
Still good Drs but Dr Grant Tom and Thomass Uncle no longer there. All the NP are sweet as can be and office staff too
My wife is in major pain from a bad tooth, is there a way I can get hydrocodones or something without going to hospital. We're a low income family and uninsured. What can i do for her pain?

I say it's G.D. time that alcohol start getting controlled! We need a national database to see who is buying what and how much and they need to be limited!! We all know that alcohol is a far bigger killer than any pain pill that someone suffering in pain takes for legit reasons! NO, it's NOT ok for you judges, attorneys, doctors, mommies and every other hypocrite out there to drink your gallons of whiskey, cases of beer and boxes of wine and get totally wasted out of your minds and sit in your glass houses and tell pain sufferers that they can't get any pain medication because junkies are abusing it and OD'ing! Well guess what hypocrites?? The drunks on the roads are killing too many people and we're going to have to take your alcohol off the free market! Let's start a petition to where we can put limits on alcohol purchases, track their purchases so they can't go store to store buying more and what's more, they need a good reason to buy it too!!!

Unfortunately it's only going to get worse for those of us who are already the new victims of this new war on pharmaceutical medication that others have misused and abused... Soma is one of the medications that have been abused so now it's on the hit list to be dc'd (discontinued) as a regularly prescribed medication that truly helped those who needed it. I'm sorry your mother will now have to have a lesser quality of life because of others abuse issues and a government whose over reach has no bounds... Opana aka Oxymorphone has now been removed from the market place because of its abuse my doctor told me this last Friday, what drug is next? We as the suffering patients are the last thought in the miniscule minds of politicians and government officials! After all they're the ones who created this environment for this to happen over the last 9 years and now the legitimately suffering patient is paying the price for their ignorance for looking the other way while it happened!
Re: ROXIERENEE (# 181)
Your mother can look for another doctor. But, it is highly doubtful she will find one that will prescribe her Soma and opiates and/or certain other drugs. Chances are her age is also a factor.
My mother has been taking Soma forever.. She has tried all the other meds they have offered her. I took her to her pain management doctor and they just took her off... My mother is my life and I can't see her in pain.... This is ridiculous.

Actually, there are no long-term studies done on opioids...the longest done was twelve weeks, and the fact is, for many of us, nothing works as well and allows us to continue working or having some semblance of a life. Opioids are not dangerous drugs for the most part. You can use them for years without damage to your organs. The only real danger is an overdose, and even this can be managed by a gradual increase in dosages for tolerance, then slowly decreasing amounts to maintain tolerance levels.
You are not helping...drugs are there to be used and provide relief, and if managed well can restore people's lives to them. The lovely poppy should be celebrated as much as marijuana, also a profound provider of pain relief, as many states are starting to recognize, as well as a host of other health benefits.
We are going backwards as far as providing adequate pain relief. We seem to be returning to the days of "just suffer thru it", when it is totally unnecessary as we have the means to address both pain and addiction problems. And now that people are aware that these remedies are available, people are going to insist their pain is treated. They are right to do so. And if they can't get them thru a doctor, they will go to the street. This is why we are seeing the rise of illicit drugs now...too many people cannot get the prescription for pain relief...so they are self-treating. So by withdrawing prescription opioids, they are making the death toll rise by the illegal use of illicit drugs, which are often cut with fentanyl.
Doctors, those that are supposed to "first, do no harm", are causing immense harm to their patients now. They should have stood up to the states and federal government when they decided to place these drugs into a different class. They should have stood up for their patients. That they did not will be a stain on the medical field for ages to come.
I have had chronic migraines for 12 years. I have a great dr in dallas who prescribes stadol katamine and demorol injections. His nam is dr krusz at the anodyne clinic but he does not take insurance
is it illegal to do that? i live in ft. worth tx, what boarder town is better? and do you see dr? and is it on U.S side? and cost?
I feel your pain (no pun intended)....it boils down to this; once you find your doctor who will prescribe you what you need to make life easier on a daily basis, hold on to them cause it's so difficult to find a pain management doctor who will prescribe the narcotic meds! In short, I've had 2 major back surgeries which did help but not 100% which I'm sure if you've had them you now what I'm talking about! Still in pain and the narcotic meds are the only way of "taking the edge off"! I live in TX and have to travel monthly to GA to see my pain doctor, why should I have to skirt every law, ordinance just to get what I need to enjoy life? Yeah, it does cost me a flight or a drive but I have to anyway cause of work so it generally works out! Visits cost me $155 with U/A's every 90 days but no worries as I don't smoke or drink or take any other illegal drugs!
I have been doing this for a couple of years now and nothing has been said about where I live, why are they filled in GA etc...guess I'm lucky? Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is to stick with your regular doctor even if it you have to go about doing it a different way cause it will be worth it in the future!
What I'm currently prescribed is; Hydrocodone 10/325 - #150 & Oxy 10-30 12 hour release-#120...every 28 days, so I am thankful every single day!
Go to border town in Mexico ,you can get anything.
Jack, there are no state or federal laws that state a doctor has to prescribe a particular medication to a patient. It is up to each doctor and their professional opinion what they do and don't prescribe patients. A state licensing board can suspend a doctor's medical license if the doctor does not consistently keep required medical records when prescribing opiates. Or if a doctor prescribes opiates in an unprofessional and irresponsible manner. But, no licensing board is going to do anything if a doctor won't prescribe opiates to a patient.
Anyone can file a complaint. But, there is no way a patient or anyone else can make a doctor prescribe a particular medication at a particular dosage if a doctor doesn't want to. The patient needs to be aware the doctor may dismiss them if they file a complaint. If this happens, the patient may find it difficult to impossible to find another doctor to prescribe for them. They will be labeled as a drug seeker.
Yeah, there is a guy named Willie down on the corner. That is the only place your going to get relief.
Lawyer. Sorry i am really mad about this because people are hurting and the svumbag politicians are preventing good peoplr from functioning.
We as americans kill more american far more than opiate OD's. Check the stats. Are we gonna ban guns too? I think not. I rest my case.

BL, you r not a kawyet, I am and i say if ur creative u can find a wsy to nail these so called doctors who reguse to properly treat a patient. Start by filing complaints on every single one who regusrs to prescribe the drugs u have previously tolerated well and worked. File with the state licensing agency in austin. If enough of us complain something will get done.
Well said. I too have type 2 pain in my feet and have been taking hydro for five years and it WORKS. I have not gotten addicted and have had the same dosage for five years. As an atty i dont understand how someone's political agenda takes preference over my painful feet. I am wilking to get togethet with others similarly situated to fight the suits that are preventing people from functioning. All becausr some jerk kids abuse their folks script i have to suffet? What a country-we must be the dumbest people on the planet. Europeans take care of their people wr do not. Tell your representative enough. But im sure nothing will happen until a representativerepresentative's family member needs it then and only then does anything happen. Im embarrasded to be an anerican these days.
