Pain Medication Ga

First of all, I hate taking pain meds but I was almost completely bedridden for 2 yrs. They gave me my life back and I'll be grateful for the rest of my life. My insurance company dropped me right before I was gonna have surgery to get some relief. So I had no choice but to go with the pain meds. I've been on oxycodone 30/150 per month (5 a day) and MS Contin 200mg 2 times daily since 2009. Had breaks when I could. My point is, nobody knows what my daily life is like. I feel ashamed every month getting refills. Maybe it's in my head but the staff at the pharmacy gives me that "pill seeker" look. I guess all that matters is my doctor trusts me and he knows my complete history. I know I'm not taking them for fun. I'd much rather be normal. Can anyone relate to ...

I am on 2 different meds (soma and Percocet) plus Xanax for extreme panic attacks. The soma is because I have at least two disintegrating discs and bad arthritis in my lower back. the Percocet (which I never even asked for, they just gave it to me) because I have bad arthritis in my knees, my hips my hands and my neck. I asked if there were any over the counter meds to help but because my kidneys are in bad shape I couldn't take anything like advil, ibuprofen or steroids. Also my nephrologisy has said that I need to keep my blood pressure down and when i'm in pain or having a panic attack (which happens several times a day) my BP goes up. now I have to practically beg for these meds and am treated like a drug addict UA's and all which is a pain because my husband has to take...

I am prescribed oxycodone 80mg twice a day and oxynorm 20mg for breakthrough and am overseas at the moment in Cambodia where every drug seems available over the counter except oxycodone, Can anyone suggest something that is similar relief, I've tried dehydrocodine 60mg tramadol 200 (gave me a seizure) and something else I looked up that was just an anti inflammatory, I only have 7 tablets left and would love some help, Also fanatal isn't available? Also I'm prescribed xanax 2mg and is there anything stronger than Valium for anxiaty?

when I went to the doctors on the 1st of last month they took away my oxycontin 60 milligrams and gave me 15 milligrams oxycodone they said it was due to CDC guidelines but I have read through all of that and it's only a recommendation I have never taken anything other than what they have prescribed me nor have I ever taken more than the amount they have prescribed me but now I find myself desperate I can't play with my grandchildren I can't get out of bed there's days I wish I never even would wake up I don't know what to do but I do know I don't want to live life in pain like this especially knowing that there is something they can get me so I'm not in pain I live in Missouri I'm just wondering if anyone else in Missouri has experienced this problem within

Is it just me or is all the pain management docs trying to cut everyone down or back!!?? When I went to my last visit the doc had the nerve to ask me if I still needed my Oxymorphone 20mg ER (56). I was like YEAH, what do you think?! This is after they closed down for 3 months and I had to switch to Subutex to not get sick. And I got dropped from the 30mg oxymorphone. And by the way the 20'mgs are garbage. Then my doc asked me to get an MRI on my lower back, which I did the month prior. It just goes to show what a dumb ass he is and how they're so not in tune to what is going on! All they want to do is lower and lower your meds. Has anyone else had their doc try and taper them down or try and lower your stuff? By the way, I'm in south FL. ## Yes,I live on the east coast and ...

I was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis 8 years ago. I also have no L5S1 disc in my spine from an old car accident. I have chronic/constant neck spasms from the MS as well as from the spine spasms. I have tried valium, gabepenton, lyrica and flexeril. I had trigger point injections in my neck/shoulders. No relief at all. My Neuro wants to do another trigger point injection himself. But what is that going to do for the spasms in my back and the ones I get in my legs from time to time? He will not prescribe ANY pain medications. I requested Vicodin, since I had a short prescription from a busted blood vessel in my hip from my MS injectable medication that messed me up pretty bad. I actually felt half normal! It was great because I didn't feel "dopey", I was...

Does lyrica make anyone's upper stomach ache after eating?, in the diaphragm area. Any other suggestions for facial nerve pain treatment? ## Have you talked to your doctor? That sounds like it could be either pancreatitis, gastritis or an ulcer, all of which could be cause or aggravated by such a medication. Only your doctor can help you determine for sure what it is and help you find a solution. Do you ever get heartburn or GERD?

I see a pain management Dr for chronic pain. I've had a very difficult time in finding the RIGHT medication for this. I recently had my 2nd disc repair surgery on my neck and I've made sure to follow all protocols with prescriptions between my pain management Dr and my surgeon. My biggest issue right now is that I've been taking Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 7.5/325 in liquid form. Today my husband took me in for a follow up appointment and we found out that this medication is no longer available in the liquid form. I take the liquid form because of a poor absorption issue with my stomach after having a bad gastric bypass surgery (while I lost a great amount of weight my stomach is totally screwed up now). I'm allergic to morphine & dilaudid. We've tried patches too ...

Does anyone know a Dr in Roswell ga who will prescribe pain mediciation and Xanax? ## Hello, Nannyq! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. However, due to the new regulations that were set forth by the DEA last year, you'll need to see specialists, if you require such medications on a long-term ongoing basis, a general practitioner won't be able to prescribe them for you. That also means most doctor's won't prescribe both, you'd need to see a pain management specialist and a psychiatrist for the Xanax. The FDA lists Xanax as a benzodiazepine that is most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. It carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Can anyone recommend ...

I have Ankylosing Spondylitus, fibromyalgia, degenerative disk desease with two herniated disk and 3 bulging. Facet joint damage etc.. Im a mess. I have been on Norco (1-2 pills a day as needed) for about 8 years. I need a new doctor who will prescribe this without thinking I am a drug addict!! I have never asked for more and it is pretty much the only way I can function as a mom and normal human being without being housebound. It is so depressing that people who NEED these medicines are now being punished for all the recreational users. I live in Alpharetta Ga. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!! ## My name is Anthony and I just moved here from Chicago IL aid I take 2mg zanx and 10/325 Norco for pain I really need to find a doctor ASAP please

I told the neurologist that I was allergic to morphine and she said these two shots will help you we don't allow you to take any more products here but only we can give you a shot and I can't prescribe anything. She gave me two shots of Dilaudid. I must have not been very potent because I'm still in pain. If Dilaudid is a derivative of morphine then how can she give it to me if she knows that I'm allergic to morphine? ## Hello, Stefanie! How are you? Dilaudid contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, it is related to Morphine, but not the same, so it can be tried by people that are allergic to Morphine, or other opiates. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and consti...

I was in the hospital and they gave me an injection for pain. It started with the letter g. Any ideas? ## Could it be gabapentin? Gabapentin is frequently prescribed for nerve pain, although I'm not exactly certain whether it's currently available in an intravenous dosage form. I did happen to find a clinical study on FDA.gov discussing gabapentin being taken via IV administration at the bottom of page 2 in the following link: accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2009/020235s041.pdf Hopefully this will at least help narrow potential suspects as to what medication you're searching for. I'll be sure to post back if I can think of any other prospects that start with a 'g'. Gabapentin just happens to be one of the more common brand names on the market. ## Thanks,...

Please use extreme caution when using this drug. My husband is a chronic pain sufferer. His pain doc prescribed it for him. It's very expensive. It also caused suicidal thoughts and tendencies. My husband cried and cried for no reason at all. He stopped taking it immediately. However he was only taking it for a week. It was a horrible experience!! ## Hello, Gingerbread89! How is your husband doing? Gralise contains the active ingredient Gabapentin and it can cause mood swings, as a side effect, in some people that take it, along with headache, dry mouth and weight changes. Thank you for posting this warning for others. ## It us not the same or interchangeable with gabapitine. I was overdosed on it by my dr almost 2 years ago. It was horrible.

I broke my ankle and foot on march 3rd of this year and it hasn't healed properly. I am getting much worst pain than usual and have a hard time walking a lot. I get a M.R.I on july 19 then will find out if I need surgery or not, but for now I am in so much pain. I have taken recently Tramacet at night time but I find the pain is still bad. In the morning I can't stand the pain so take like four or five Advil, which doesn't help only a just a little. What should I be asking for from my doctor? I don't know painkillers and am a recovering addict (alcohol). ## I went to the doctor tonight to get a pain killer and she gave me ralivia and it is for a broken ankle i have been suffering for three months and will get my mri july to see what the heck is going on and why the pain ...
