REPORT

I have been to one medical board meeting and it was horrible. They acted like they were God and know exactly what anybody's pain level was and exactly what would take care of it and you couldn't convince them otherwise. Bass doctors have spent years and years going through school only for some prick to tell them their idea of what the prescription suggestions are.

The limitations may be "suggestive" from the CDC and the DEA but I've been to the medical board meetings and I've seen the medical board use these "suggestive" dosages as the new guidelines. Physicians are being hauled up to the board by the truck loads because now that the Arkansas Prescription Monitoring Program records every controlled prescription the can see with the click of a mouse who is prescribing what. So I would caution you of falling victim to the language the CDC and or DEA uses as they know exactly what they are doing. Like everything else in life the bad ones screw it up for the good ones and their is a war on drugs because of the overprescribing of pain medication and these "suggestive" guidelines the CDC recently handed down are anything but suggestive as the power trippers at the medical board use them as the gospel when going after physicians. I know because I've seen it time and time again. Some of the physicians deserve to be hauled up but many are innocent physicians trying to offer relief to their patients and are included in a witch hunt to scare physicians away from prescribing pain medication. The medical board wants the CDC Guidelines followed and if you don't believe me go to a medical board meeting or better yet get the minutes from the pain management board and see what the leader of that board says consistently and then you will see the reality of the situation

Since my last message, I've done research and also emailed the CDC and DEA. Both returned emails saying they weren't calling on doctors to kill us. They said that they were here to help detour new patients and doctor shoppers etc. that the limititations were suggestive. Now, either what they are returning to me is an email to indirectly point the finger other ways or they have a different set of regulations they sent the doctor. Cause I know my doctor and his face almost went white and changed subject when I said I have copies of emails directly to me saying what I've been saying. He looked almost scared. He knows me he knows my situation but, he is scared to prescribe.

I need a pain doctor who will help with my meds. I have degenerative disc disease. Also I have had brain surgery. Also I got hit by a semi in May. I have been on meds since 91. But all these doctors think everyone is an addict. Can anyone assist me in finding a doctor who will prescribe meds? I live in Siloam springs, AR.

I don't feel comfortable discussing what I'm prescribed but I can tell you Dr. Jeanne Murphy is a diamond in the rough. She is kind and listens to me. Never dismissive. I don't feel like a number like everywhere else. She has a small practice and doesn't want a large practice. Everywhere I have been has been the opposite. Herd you like cattle and maximizing their return on you and spending 2 minutes with you and no bed side manner. Little Rock Pain Management is the best and if you have a real problem they will help.

I find it horrible in America where you can buy alcohol as much as needed. But, when you've been put into a category where pain runs your day and you refuse to be put on disability but, due to FDA restrictions I can't get the pain medication to get me through my work day.

I would also like some info. Last year I was robbed and shot by two young males. I almost lost my leg. I'm left with extreme pain and I have to work. I also work long hours. I was taking 5 roxicodone 30's a day. Now at my last visit my doctor cuts me to two a day when 5 was hard to make it through. How am I supposed to feed my family? Any input on that would be great. Thank you.

arkansas is the worse. i am forced to see dr tilley in mt. home and he is a disgrace! a pitiful excuse for a dr. he lies to his patients because he is a spineless coward, and tries to force his patients to take lidocaine injections which are very expensive and rarely work. he has done nothing at all to help me in any way in a year n a half now except decrease my pain meds by 75% and hes talking about 100 morphine units or the equivalent of now. hes a corporate yuppie that runs his clinic like an assembly line.

I know your question is about doctors, but this is advice on the medicine itself, if your insurance or you can afford name brand, do so. I have been on vicoprofen for 12 years now and have been from name brand to many generics. I've noticed slot of the generics are slot weaker. I finally found a pharmacist that would tell me the truth. Generics only have to be within 20% +- of the original formulas. I'm sorry, but minus 20% on someone's pain meds is quite a bit when you're in pain. Just IMHO a little unsolicited advice. Good luck with your treatment, hope yours gets better instead of like mine which got worse over the years especially after surgery.
