Pain Clinics Las Vegas

Hi, everyone. I am a pain sufferer for over 7 years now. Due to misplaced drill while getting my wisdom teeth out.

I have been to many pain clinics tried just about everything. I have not tried Soma's.

I know a different drug name in Canada but Ambien in USA. I can't take those. 15 years of every benzo and Z drugs no way. Sleep walking,talking, eating. Everything bad possible and never remember my wife video taped it. Never took the drug again.

Where could I go to in Las Vegas. Were I don't mind urine, contract everything you could think off. I don't mind following. As long as I get treated fairly and get 90 days. And I will come back every 90 days that's fine.

I see hotel Dr's? For pain. It just looks like 10 vics and give me $200. Or am I wrong. I have had 3 MRI's. And its not Free in Canada. You still have to pay for this and that. But not $10,000 for a new hip. But you do have to wait 10 years.

Any advice? On were to contact. Pain clinic? Which is the best? It would be very very expensive to find out.

Please help. I have had less then 4 hours a night for 7 years. All opoids I have tried within a low range. eg 20mg TID Oxycontin 60 mg a day. We don't have roxy 30's we have 10 IR but that's as high as they get. And I don't really like oxy. I prefer D's. morphine under 100 mg as per constipation. I have never tried opana, fent patches. IV during hospital stay. The Hydromorphone was way better. Also how do you not mention drugs by name etc after being a pain patient for over 5+ years. If you don't know the name of the drug you have been taking for over 5 years then as a DR (I am not) I would be more worried. Any advice??

Thank you.

Karma back to you and a free chip at your favorite place to see it bounce.

Thanks again

Hi, this might be old news. But I see on Vice that St Louis and the rest of the state. Has not signed on to the database?

Is this still true as of almost Dec.2016? I am not in the slightest a dr whatever they are called? But I was wondering if I have a drug allergy. Will the hospital know if I am hurt and unable to say what I am allergic too. Nothing is life threatening. But for example codiene makes me scratch a lot. But then again. If I am that badly hurt scratching is the least of my worries. Just curious. As I am not from the USA and thinking of moving there. I would like to learn as much as possible.

Thank you.

And In Canada you run into 10% of DR's that will no longer write an rx for any benzo. They say I don't have any patients on then and never will. Had this happen 2 times. This is what my family doctor told me. And he said I was his only patient out of 1400 that was on Oxy and he only is rxing because a pain specialist that he sent me to. Started it. All depends if the dr had a bad experience I guess.

Thanks for any info.

Jose, you must look back and reflect during this Holiday season. Your post can't be answered. You might need help that will not be found in a pill or a bottle of booze

Hi Eddy.

Thank you for your reply. I haven't had a drink in 7 years. Because I don't mix medications.

As for an answer in a bottle of pills. No that is never an answer.

My concern is that with all the injections. I have had 2 surgeons till me never to ever get injectons again. I had 2. And they said they did harm to my nerves.

Also. If I go to a Dr I don't want to do all the testing and then not get anything refilled. I do not use more then prescribed or anything of any nature to lose the Dr's trust. It just is scary to have to think if I don't get a refill. I take right now in Morphine about 50 mg a day. Which is not that high I think? But I have stopped over 5 times on my own. To see where I am at. Going off for 3 months at a time. This really helps me lower my tolerance. But if I was an addict I would be dead because you stop for a week, then you relapse and die, because you can't handle it.

But I don't think I am alone in this??? I really hope not. That if you don't get a refill because of a fake positive or neg or the Dr is having a bad day or he moves or she dies. You have to tell work you are going to be very sick for a week. I have done it enough to know 4 days then I go back.

But thank you. Booze or Pain pills used that way only make things worse.

You should try the Pain Clinic in Bullhead City Arizona, somewhat near Vegas (Tri State Pain Clinic). I'm sure Vegas has Pain Clinics as well. I have never seen more patients outside of a Doctors office and there were 3 armed guards outside as well.

Jose,

I'm a little confused, how would a dental anomoly require the use of benzos,sleeping aids, and the most powerful narcotic opiates on the planet on a long term basis ? I'm afraid in Vegas or any other location you'll be unable to locate that type of medical or pharmaceutical support. Perhaps an addictionologist would be more appropriate . Best of luck to you.

Thank you.

I ended up on so many medications from so many different specialists. I am not on all the meds at the moment. For example Ambien I tried a few nights and stopped. I don't need.

And I don't have enough space to list all the non-controlled drugs that have been tried. The best I found was Gabapentin, I use 900mg.

Also there are people on here at 600 mg of Morphine a day plus breakthrough.

I have never taken more then 150 mg of Morphine in a day.

For example the most used was 2 x 6mg Hydromorphone that is almost the smallest pill. As they go to 36 mg or higher. And then 3 x 1 mg Dilaudid which are the smallest you can get.

So it sounds like a lot of medication. But if you looked at the amounts I am not even considered a high opiate user. That is anyone over 200mg. In Canada that is.

As for Oxycontin the highest I ever used was 20 mg TID. equal to 2 30mg.

Valium - I use 5mg, that's it.

So I am trying to explain that the amount I take come from a family DR. But I have been told by over 3 specialists that I will be on for life. And I am only 37. At the time I was 31. So that is not what you want to hear.

But thank you for the address. I am looking forward to my work time in Vegas and a trip around.

Actually I would add the largest Oxy was Oxycontin 20mg. And for IR's 5 mg. So again the smallest possible pills. But yes its a lot of different medicines. I have tried over 40 different medications. Over a 7 year period. Since I have had 3 Dr visits per month for 7 years. So over 200+ visits. Now that is a lot!

So you don't live in the United States but will be visiting Vegas for pills, not a good idea. Hey isn't Hydromorphone and Dilaudid the same exact medicine Jose?

Yes they are.

Hydromorph contin long acting

Diladud short acting.

I wasn't just looking for meds.

I have those.

But for answer to my pain issues.

I have wondered for awhile how the US system and Canadian system differ.

If I was just after drugs. There are easier countries then the US.

But maybe not as easy as Florida used to be.

Try Mexico as you can probably get whatever you need just by visiting a Border Pharmacy. However bringing them back through the U.S. and Canada would be difficult.
