Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 119)
(Newest replies first)

I have a serious problem. My dr. had two patients start dr. shopping and has decided it is too big of a pain in his butt to continue prescribing, even though I have gotten MRIs and Xrays to prove my problems. I have over a half a dozen herniated discs in my low back, along with degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, scoliosis and arthritis in my facet joints. I am currently on5 30mg oxycodone a day for breakthrough and 60mg of methadone for my long lasting meds. I REALLY need a doctor in the Denver, CO area who will not judge me because of my age, thinking I'm just some drug seeker as I TRULY need my meds to function. I am even being placed on disability until I can get my back healed because if something doesn't change I will be in big time pain for the rest of my life. If ANYONE knows of a good doctor that prescribes strong meds willingly in the Denver area please let me know. I am in desperate need of help as I am going to be SCREWED if I cannot find a good doctor. SOMEONE please help me with a doctor!!!!!

Janey I swear we should hire you! Lol. I'm 99% sure they're my last hope on the stimulant front.

I hope everyone is doing well and I can't wait to see you all at the live chat.

Chatty, I know of them but I haven't heard any feedback recently about them! I'll make some calls tomorrow and will post for u what I find out! I'm also not sure that the doc I worked with first name was that, it was quite a bit of time since I sent anyone to them! I will check though! Take care!

Jay,

I'm not sure what part of town u live in but here's some names u may want to check out! It's ok to "interview" the doc's as long as u don't get scripts from multiple doc's and I encourage that! CPR is in Wheatridge, they r pretty accessible from any place in town, I live way south of town, close to the Springs and I can b there in twenty minutes! Their staff now is very well read and they also offer suboxone therapy, Dr Rock Navarrah, u may want to check with me about spelling, he's in the Cherry Creek area, a very kind and compassionate doc, he does inj. and interventional medicine as well, Colo Reb, has multiple offices across town, they r great if u do need rehab such as pt, ot, inj. to electric stimulus! I especially like Dr Primack and he is hard to get into, expect a month for a visit but they do hold "emergency" slots! Dr Ciacca, is in the Aurora area! He requires a prescription for an appointment but if u need the up to date infusion treatments where pain meds r infused directly to the area or want electric stimulus, he's the guy to see! So he could require two appointments to c someone to refer u but if u need these types of therapies, he's your guy! All names provided here have been used by actual clients, so there really isn't a bad referral, it's more what u want and need! If u have been through the ringer, done it all and all u require is scripts for your meds, CPR is probably your best bet! It's easy to get into as far as scheduling appointments, u probably can get in within a few days, they do require like most pain clinics, a referral and a recent mri and here in Denver, that's the norm! They r working on Taking Medicaid but u can expect cash or credit card for about $200 for the first boat and about $180 after! Dr Navarrah takes most insurances, I know he takes Medicare! Colorado Rehab also takes most insurances! Dr Chiacca, I'm not so sure, I know he does take Medicare, I'm not sure about Medicaid! I also have other names but these guys have a range of personalities and what they "specialize" in, so they r a good start! If u have questions, everybody here is super helpful and it's good to have multiple opinions! The bottom line is u need to feel comfortable with who is treating u! I hope this helps!

To Rainbow, ColoSusie and all others, Ah!! Duh!! I can't believe the "Beta" deal got me also! I'm getting a new computer tomorrow and will sign up then, my computer was "borrowed" recently and between them hacking into personal information, causing lots of problems with my bank account, they also won't return the computer and car my husband let them "borrow"! Grr! U b kind and get stuck, not nice! Anyway, I've been working most of the time working off my phone and since I work from home on the computer, it's not allowed me to work either! So at this point, I don't have a choice! So I'll be up and running on the site probably tomorrow! I hope that everyone is doing well and I've only been on sporadically, has anyone heard back from Wendy? Last I heard someone tried her and her business and didn't hear back! For some reason, I thought someone had heard from her husband or she shared her husband had gotten a new job and got hurt, if I remember right but I wondered if someone had his info! I'm just concerned we haven't heard back!

I hope everyone is well and I just have to say, Rainbow, u r appropriately named! U bring a smile to my face and r genuinely a wonderful person! I read your posts and they make me smile! Not that everyone doesn't do that, everyone here is wonderful and I enjoy all of u but Rainbow just has this pixie like quality that gives me hope!

Rainbow, I went back after I went to MCNP. clinic I went and saw another Doctor there. I had scheduled my appointment with Dr but I got there two and a half hours early because I had to take the bus so I ended up seeing a different doctor. I was surprised to see that he was willing to help me to give me something for pain and also something to help me sleep at night; as long as you don't see Theresa. try Dr Cook or Dr Chad Luccl. just keep in mind they say its mandatory every month you will have to take a UA. they didn't use to do that there when I went to them 5 years before but they do it now and I understand why. they wanna make sure patients are taking medication again right and not taking any illegal drugs. if you do not have luck with them try MCNP clinic North Aurora area Dr Sean Lloyd. when I went in to see this new doctor at Rocky mountain medicine I told him exactly what happened with theresa how she treated me, making me feel like I was some kind of drug addict which I'm not. all she wants to give out is non narcotics. Everything she was given me did not help me at all. I saw her for year. got tired of her attitude. I had to look for another doctor and another clinic when I found out that I could see other doctors at Rocky, that is when I decided to go back and see them again. Let me know if this works out for you ok.

Co Susie & rainbow (3142 & 3143) - What Cindy said is right (3149). Kind of like when a store does a soft opening. Maybe some kinks to work out, but the service is available for people to use. If you are interested in attending a chronic pain support group from your computer (or phone / tablet / etc), the first session will be next week, and then held every Wednesday after that at 9pm Eastern time.

Didn't see this before or I would've answered already - BETA is like the testing or trial stage. So this new group is brand new, in the BETA stage so there may be some kinks to work out as it goes thru a testing stage

My husband has had the same problem. We just moved to Denver and he cannot seem to find a doc willing to help. I feel like they are being judgemental because of his age (30) and he's covered in tattoos. Back home he had a great doc and since we've been here we've spent so much time and money trying to find a decent doc that will help. Any suggestions?

COSusie and Rainbow, I haven't figured how to do that Beta deal either! Maybe we should write the management of the site and ask? I'm usually pretty good about techie stuff but I find it difficult to do anything but write here!

Hello Rainbow, I know how you feel. It has taken me 2-1/2 years before I could find a good Doctor. You can see mostly any Doctor there, just don't see Teresa. She is very hard about giving out anything for pain. Also you can check out MCNP Clinic North Aurora. They have good Doctor's there also. Good Luck!

Hey all,

Sorry to hear about Mac. I just got back from France 10 days ago....and getting pain meds there is like buying aspirin here. No issues at all!!! The day after I got home, I went to change the oil on my car. I got the tiniest scrape on my right elbow, and now .....I am in the hospital being treated for a severe infection. Perfect way to start out the season!!!
