Pain Management Shreveport (Page 3)

Does anyone know of any primary care physicians in the Shreveport/Bossier City/Haughton/Minden area that do pain management? I have been going to a pain management doctor here in Shreveport for about 6 years now, but it is just getting to expensive. He refuses to to go any higher on my dosage of Oxycontin, which is 30 mg 3 times a day. And he will not give me anything for break through pain. I am on Medicaid so I have to pay him out of pocket. Medicaid pays for 60 of my oxy's, but I have to pay for the other 30. If I knew of a primary care physician that accepts does some pain management and also accepts medicaid it would be a really big help. I'd really appreciate anyone that could help me out and answer this. Thank you.

Paul, that is something that is very risky. You have no idea what future laws and state policy's may be. If for any reason you can't be treated for opiate addiction you won't be able to get regular pain management. But it is up to each person to decide if it is worth the risk.

sissy, you need to see a pain management dr. Louisiana is expanding Medicaid on July 1, 2016, but it does not pay for pain management drs.
