Kansas City Mo Pain Medication Prescribers (Page 3)

I am uninsured and have a referral to a pain management clinic, but cannot afford the clinic. I would like to know of any cheap doctors who would prescribe the narcotic pain medication I need to be on in the Kansas City MO area.

REPORT

I found a dr that will write scripts but no morphine and very limited hydrocodone. No more than 4 perday. That means I can function with extreme pain for most of the day. I have to be able to go in for a ua at the drop of a hat and take my pills in for a pill count. My first visit I explained that it takes only 2 to 3 morphine pills and about 5 hydrocodone to have some kind of life. I saw a nurse practioner. Had the bedside manner of a rock! She knows everything and made me feel extremely stupid because they know what works for me and I don't. They had me get a back brace that will cost social security about $1000. It's useless because the brace stops above the pain line and justs puts pressure on the area that hurts. I know that the jerks who abuse the narcotics have made it extremely difficult for the people who truly need meds to function. I probably contacted over 50 doctors in the K C area and the very few meaning 2 or 3 that write scripts are no longer taking new patients. Dr Simon in overland park will write hydrocodone but no more than 4 a day. A little pain medication is better than extreme suffering. I may wind up being bed ridden. Not a life I want but what can I do. I wish everyone who need pain meds to function the best of luck finding a dr to write scripts. I understand what you are going through. Some people say a little help from pain meds are better than none. I say they shouldn't talk the talk unless they have walked a mile in our shoes ! Best wishes to everyone.

Rhonda, asking if a Dr writes prescriptions for certain meds over the phone isn't going to get you a dependable answer often. It is a red flag for drug seekers.

Very few drs will prescribe more than 120 mg Morphine/Morphine Equivalent daily due to TGE new FDA Guidelines. And the drs that do, won't be doing it for long.

Rhonda, which arthritis? Find a Rheumatologist. They have great meds for arthritis. It's not going to fix what is bone on bone but it does help make life tolerable as it keeps inflammation down. Be well~Pood

Jz there are no walk in pain clinics. If you sighed a contract with your current Dr. you will be dismissed if the Prescription Monitoring Program in the state you're in connects to your home state.

I'm not a big fan of back surgery. My very good friend died within 36 hours agter minor back surgery. I know ut wasn't from the surgery a blood clot broke loose and lodged in his hear. This man was very physically fit. I use to joke about it would be my luck to have an unfaithful husband to do my surgery and the nurse woukd lean next to him and whisper "I'm pregnant" and with a quick jurking motion, poofI would be paralyzed. That's the kind of luck I have.

okcgirl, no referral for regular Medicare. Medicare Advantage is different and the drs are limited.

I live in Kansas city, I'm going through the same thing. I have insurance. Truman medical will not give u pain medication for your pain. I finally got my doctor to give me pain medication, but it's limitations, I have severe arthritis in my back, and I'm still waiting for for my pain meds cause the doctor wrote the wrong description on the meds. Walmart called truman to get in touch with my doctor to correct this so I can get my pain meds. It's 3:55 doctor at truman medical still has not returned Walmart pharmacy. Yes, I'm putting out there. Patients including myself treat people at truman medical center in Kc.mo on Holmes. We all need to get in touch with Congress. We need help. This, is supposed to be America. I feel for these people cause I'm going through the same thing and I have insurance, and my doctor won't write a referral. Silky

Phree, you will have to pay out of pocket to see a pain dr and for your meds. You can get a Discount Prescription Card that will help with the cost of the meds. Depending on your income and resources, you may be able to get Patient Assistance to help with the cost of your meds. You can contact the pharmaceutical company that makes your pain meds and see if the have a Patient Assistance Program and what the criteria is. You can google Discount Prescription Card. Not all pain drs will accept cash, so you may have to change drs.
