Pain Clinics That Treat Out Of State Patients (Page 3) (Top voted first)

Does anyone know of pain clinics that take out of state patients? Also looking to get put on opanas, or something like that. Been on loratab 1000's for 15 years and they don't do the job anymore. I realy hope someone out there knows someplace in GA or TN. Hope to hear from you soon and thanks.

If you want to be a hater that's fine, good luck with your illness and the rest of your life. Lupus is not the most painful condition people have. Everybody has a right to their own opinion in their own pain issues. I find it this graceful that you come on this site with not the idea to help someone but to hate someone.

I don't want to sound rude,but I most certain want you to here it right. This situation right here is prime example of why I started AFFLP.COM (AmericasFightForLupusPain). First let me ask you why you have to go find a pain clinic he accepts out of state patients? If your a chronic pain patient and have a referral from a family Doct. or PCD you can't go seek pain management in another state legally.You would have to change all your doctors,and have permant address in the state your seeking care from.Most pain clinics well the real pain clinics require a referral from a primary care,physcian &/or family doctor you have had to been a patient under there care for atleast 3months,this appplies to the new laws that took affect Jan 2010,most states require all licensed pain facilities to follow this. If patient just has a MRI with some herniated disc,bulging,degenerative disc by law your PCD has to send you to a neurologist/surgeon for proper treatment to fix these areas they can no longer mask the problem with these highly addictive pain killers,They will repair the damage areas where if possible send u2 physical therapy and then u follow up with youPCD .My Point is I have been fighting for myself and thousands of others who are suffering from a chronic autoimmune terminal disease called LUPUS.After researching thousands of pain clinics in Tn alone 525,859.000 98% of all pain patients has an MRI with minor to mild problems,no family doctor,no past history of an injury,or illness but was getting prescribed 150 cnt.oxycodone30mg and 15mgoxycodone 90cnt, for breakthrough pain.These patients would go to there appt. get their meds filled then you could follow them going to work and witness these "chronic pain"patients going up&down latters,carrying 50lb bags of shingles over their back 3 bags at a time laughing cutting up they would work from morning to dark never stop and appear in any kind of pain. I have had Lupus for 4 years now,im terminal.I will have this the rest of my life.My lupus has took over my body and mind,and now it controls my entire life.I Suffer from deep agonizing bone and joint pain that so deep in my legs and arms I have thought of sawing them off.My hips hurt when im lying down on my side resting its a pain i can not describe.My pain can be anywhere at anytime,showing up suddenly or overnight. Everday is a struggle I never know how bad ill be hurting tomorrow I dread every new day.My pain alters my mind and causes me seizures the lupus that has affected my barin has sent me into a deep major depression,a complete and total personality change in a bad way.My behavoir,my memory,my personality,my voice all have changed for the worse.I have experienced pain that I cant describe,so bad I have passed completly out from it.Im a miserable depressed person,a prisoner in my own home.At anytime my disease can flare up and a tiny cold could enter my bloodstream and I have to be hospitalized to fight it off.I am to weak and fatique to even be a mother right now,I pray alot,and after seeking so many different treatment opptions and trying everything made possible to me my options are run out.In my case my Lupus came and never left or slept,because of the activeness and the progress over the years lupus has affected every bone,every joint,every organ,including my skin my oxygen,my eye sight,my hearing,and loss of memory.This is just 1 patient that should have a rightful spot in a good pain clinic,without having to provide an MRI with my referall and all my medical records. YEP they told me I had to get a MRI done and I had to pay for it.Well let's just say this story,my word and work is making lots of progress after this incident,once the news and DEA and state auditors here a conversation between the doctor at the pain clinic and my PCP.My DR. says I would like to get Kimberly an appointment scheduled at your next availability?The DR there says ok you are? I am her PRCD,and after months of evaluation,and extra extensive test,frequent visits to her rheumatologist with no progress, I have m sade my decision that the best and most beneficial treatment for at this time is extensive longterm pain management.I have declared her has a terminal chronic pain patient,with bone and nerve damage that is irreversiable this is the result of the wear and tear of her body from the lupus,accompanied by her major fatigue and depression,and the unfortunate aspect that her doctors were unsuccessful at getting kimberly's lupus in remission.This plan has been explained to her on my part as being the chance for her to be able to live and feel as normal and best that we can get her,she is aware of the terms here,and that this is not a cure for her disease nor a guarantee at this time.PC dr Well we are taking new patients,we have a small waiting time for an appt. but not long,we will have her come down here and sign the realease for you to send her records and referall ,now question quickly is her MRI less than @ years old?MY PCD ACTUALLY im sorry she will not be providing a MRI with her medical records because she has done been appproved by the supervisor of state and pain control,I done all of this already so she is goood to go,PC DC well mam I will NOT bve able to set her appt. based on medical records becuse our policy states an MRI less than 2 years old and im sorry but if she wants to acquire that,then once we recieve all her info we will proceed in getting her in for an appt ok,So basicly if i had another patient with a MRI and I just decided beecause of favortism to call and push for a referall he would be in your clinic and have a script of 50 oxycodone by the weekend,and Kimberly will go on about her daily struggles as she has suffered this long a few more weeks cant hurt,Mr.herniated disc is feeling all good and hi being over prescribed narcotics,and MRs.Terminally ill chronic lupus patient Kimberly spends her christmas in unbearable pain while she can't even help put together her childrens toys that need to go together,she crys and suffers and struggles once more because once again a undercertified pain clinic and uneducated doctors and nurses have failed to take the time once again to understanding a World wide disease that is affecting more and more americans each year. This year in 2012 113,000 new cases of lupus were recorded as new diagnosis,yet we are no closer to finding a cure today as we were 12 years ago. Though they are medications that can help slow the flares,and medications that can stablelize the disease,thier is no cure,and no new information. This is my story, 1 in every 10 adults are diagnosed with SLE in the united states alone.Please get involved and help these victims of lupus,Lets get this fatal disease labeled as the cancer it is,"The Worst Cancer You Can get"The most Painful and disabling"But as
