TexasMD and BL are exactly right about what their saying... I am a chronic pain patient with 26+ years as such. I live in Fort Worth, TX. and have seen doctors in Fort Worth as well as Dallas. I've had 2 doctors retire on me and finding a new Pain Management doctor wasn't a walk in the park. They all want to redo tons of testing I've already had done in the past and I just go ahead and do what they want me to do because I know they have to cover their butts incase there's any question about their coarse of treatment. And yes I have all of my old records in tow when seeing someone new.
This time I found a doctor who is really young so hopefully this is my last one. He repeated even the blocks on areas for Rhizotomys I've had done numerous times both cervical and lumbar in the past before he did the actual Rhizotomys on me again.
I just go along with what they want to do because it doesn't pay to argue with any doctor! You will always lose...
The one thing that I understand thoroughly is that narcotic pain relievers are a privilege to receive and not a right NO MATTER what's wrong with you! Alot of patients seem to not understand this! As time moves on their always developing new medical techniques and procedures to help people get out of pain, but some patients refuse to do said things and just want drugs. A doctor can actually fix the organic cause of the pain, but it's a proven medical/scientific fact your nerves can still fire and tell your brain you're still in pain. Narcotics are not for this and their are several drugs out there that will help with this, but the patients only want Narcotics! To me this is someone who is chemically dependent and has no organic cause of pain...
I had a bad epidural abscess after a back surgery 26 years ago. It scared my spinal cord's dural sac and the nerve sheaths at 3 levels in my lumbar both sides. The pain is phenomenal when I try to walk or bend. I have a newer generation spinal cord stimulator implant and take Oxycontin and Roxicodone. I've been on everything except morphine because I'm allergic to it. Even though I have this horrible condition, I personally don't think any doctor has to give me any Narcotics unless their comfortable doing so. Like I said, it's not a right it's a privilege. Some patients need to come off their high horses and realize doctors are under the microscope like never before. Politicians are trying to tell doctors what they can or can't do regarding narcotic pain medications, but from my own personal experiences doctors are not going to let patients suffer needlessly as long as they can justify the use of narcotic pain medications after all other avenues have been explored. In the past to many doctors were giving out Narcotics without exploring all options and it has caused a problem. Alot of people just want a quick fix because they hurt and giving out Narcotics in that situation has created more problems than it ever helped.
If people think it's hard to get narcotic pain medications now from doctors, it's only going to get worse since the politicians have gotten involved. Politicians are imbeciles, just look at this country and the rest of the world!

Some insurance companies require referral but not all of then do. Any Dr can write a rx for hydrocodone, but most chose not to. There are no new laws that state you must see a pain management Dr for chronic pain.

Schedule 2 drugs such as the hydrocodone class can be electronically prescribed and in fact we are pushing for this to be a requirement in the not too distant future. There are way too many of these classes of drugs prescribed on a whim by certified but unqualified physicians ( I can hear the anger rising as I write this). Prescriptions that are handwritten are being forged and unethical pharmacists are filling these drugs for people who are either misusing or diverting them. These people are felons and these misuses of controlled drugs must be stopped.
I am not against the real patients getting the help they need, but if the criminal element is not stopped soon we (you) will find an absence of the drugs on pharmacy shelves.
There is limited scientific evidence for the long term use of opioids for most ailments. Get over it, these will become more restricted over time. Find alternative ways to handle the pain. Stop asking for a "good doctor" to prescribe opioids. The reality is that good doctors often will not. Only the skanky doctors who care little about their patients or the law will continue these ill advised prescribing habits.
Sorry to spoil your day folks. When all this comes to pass you can say you heard it first from TexasMD

I totally agree with you! I have had problems with chronic pain for 21 years, when my first child was born. Shortly after I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome more commonly referred to now as Fibromyalgia.I also have chronic and horrible back pain due to a herniated disc, probably scoliosis and sciatica issues. Unfortunately, I've been in four serious car accidents, all of which were the fault of the other party who hit me. In addition to the joint and bone pain from Fibromyalgia and back pain, I am also dealing with severe hip pain due to Iliotibial Band Syndrome, chronic pain in both ankles after the surgery that was supposed to make them more stable and less painful, chronic knee pain in both knees after three surgeries to correct a genetic condition and last but not least by any means, my terrible chronic pain of the left shoulder and bicep. I fractured my shoulder at the clavicle in 1998 and also tore my rotator cuff. However, this was not diagosed until 8 months later and several follow up appointmets with the ortho. I had surgery to correct the tear which was poorly done and only lasted 8 weeks. I changed surgeons and had a second but much more invasive surgery the second time which seemed to correct the problem for 8 months when the RC tore again! Finally, I was referred to a "shoulder expert" in Dallas who was awesome!! He did a very invasive surgery to correct the RC tear as well as the bicep detachment which had also occured. My shoulder remains "fixed" but I suffer with severe frequent pain in that shoulder and arm to this day. I have been to pain mangement docs, some nice and some awful, as well as a rehab specialist who also acted as pain management until I lost my insurance. I then began seeing a family practice doc for PM but he has been getting warning letters from the DEA and TXDPS regarding his prescribing practices of narcotics. Therefore he will no longer do it because of the hassle it's become thanks to the damn government who stick their noses into places it doesn't belong. What really irritates me is all the celebrities and big shot athletes who can get meds prescribed to them with no problem just because of who they are and what they are willing to pay. It's ridiculous that we cannot sue the government for interfering with our rights as patients. No one should have to live with any kind of pain,chronic or otherwise without proper pain management. Also, those of us who are suffering should not have to fear going to the doctor because we will be or could be treated like addicts! One of the best things a former PM doc said to me was this: "All patients who are on daily narcotic pain managment will be or are addicted to the medicine. However, this is called medically dependant, not addiction. Most of these patients eventually come off the meds but some do not, ever. When this is the case good constant PM is required and essential." That made me feel so much better about the whole thing. Unfortunately, when I lost my insurance I could not go back to him because a 15 minute office visit is 160.00-200.00! The only bad thing about PM docs is that they charge a fortune for just a few minutes. My question for you is this...are you still seeing the same PM doc here in the metroplex and is he the one who said he would no longer be able to treat chronic pain? Or, have you found another PM doc to take care of you? I desperately need someone that won't break me to see them, but most importantly one who'll be willing to prescribe the meds that work for me without hesitation or fear for doing so. Any help you can offer will be much appreciated! My email is {edited for privacy}. Thanks so much and hope you are doing OK.

Due to the new laws that have recently been put in place, you will most likely be better off seeing a pain management specialist and there isn't a very good chance of getting this particular medication anymore.

The FDA and DEA are cracking down and aren't letting general practitioners or surgeons treat chronic pain that requires long-term regular treatments. They will only be allowed to prescribe such medications for a short period of time, such as for a few weeks immediately after someone has had surgery or been injured.


Learn more pain management details here.

And the medications containing Hydrocodone, such as Vicodin and Norco are being specially reserved for only short-term use, such as immediately after surgery.

Have you looked into pain management?
