Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 135)
(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!!!!!

Rainbow flowers....
I can tell by your rambling post that you don't even know what it means "to deem" something racist.
It was not a spelling error....or an auto correct issue, as I actually proofread to make sure what I post is correct......both in topic and spelling.
Maybe a dictionary or thesaurus would help you out.

No, I do not pretend to be any other name. You see, I actually have a life, and a career. I do not have time to play games with a bunch of people content to take drugs instead of seeking out new and state of the art treatments. The newer methods of back surgeries are amazing. My father had surgery on his 3 ruptured discs 4 years ago....at 70 years old. He is better now than he has been in 20 years. He was walking the day after surgery, did his PT religiously and the change is amazing. My situation is a bit different. I had a double knee replacement, am overweight, and one of the knees is failing. I will not have another surgery until I am at my proper weight....and have a bit more money in the bank to cover time off....so, my doc has me on pain meds so I can lead a somewhat normal life.

So, before all you cackling hens start making assumptions, maybe check a few facts. Or maybe just get together and spread your uninformed misinformation among yourselves.

Cindy... On the si joint, not the spine itself. My issue is the si joint moves too much, causing pain. Except for childbirth, that joint is supposed to move very little... So the theory is that the fusion would hold it in place... So no more problem. But I agree with you: it will be a few months of aggressive working out, etc before I make that call. I HAVE done all other treatments. So, I either figure out how to deal with it after three years of trying different interventions... Or I hope for the best with the fusion. Not a fun decision...

Susie I'm sorry you feel so crappy but I understand about not complaining to the hubby. I know it gets tiresome for them to hear it over and over and be unable to help us. Do try Melatonin and see if that will help you sleep.
Mtn Girl Your Dr. wants to do a fusion on your lumbar spine??? I would do anything and everything (and I have) before I would have back surgery. Odds are you will end up having multiple surgeries and be in worse shape than you are in now.

Hugs back at ya :)
It is sort of strange that he just assumed that we are all seeking. I asked him whatever made him think that, but never got a response. Lots of us, do lots of things to manage our pain, other than just medication. I have no idea why he thinks we all are just looking for medication.

I don't remember now, but several of you gave me housekeeping hints of things that you do to try to keep it under control. I've been doing them and it's really been a great help. So if anyone else has any little tricks, I'm very interested.

Hi, Ladies (and gents)! Sorry I haven't been around... I feel like there just aren't enough hours in the day!
Had a dr's appt this morning... And he's recommending si joint fusion surgery. I am so scared. I asked to go back to pt with a different group, and he said okay, but the reality is: we've tried everything and I guess it's just time to pull the trigger and do it.
I think I'm going to spend the next couple of months getting in the best shape I can... And then go for it. Thoughts??
Regarding Jetmech, I think he pretends to be other people. He may be the one that gave out a drs' name recently to see if anyone would grab it... He might be Cooky who said her sister was in pain management just to see if we'd ask for her name. I don't know... But I think the whole situation is weird. He still doesn't understand that we're not seeking: we're supporting.
Love you all to pieces... Sending you each a hug.

rainbowflowers and all friends,
I had a doggie stain on the rug, so I worked on it yesterday. My lower back is so sore today, and with the sleep issues, my pain level is way up there today. I only did the "bend over" for a couple of minutes. It's so frustrating that every little thing seems to cause more pain.
I was complaining to my husband this morning and I saw that "look", the "look" that says so much. I need to remember to just shut my big mouth. It really doesn't help anything to share the negative with him. All he can do is say "sorry", and as he's already said that thousands of times. Everyone who is in pain must go through the same thing. It's like there's something in my head that says I JUST have to share it, but I really don't. I need to limit "pain" conversations to people who have pain. I think that only people who have pain truly understand anyway. Does that make sense or am I just rambling again?

rainbowflowers,
You are so right about not really knowing anymore who is who. People using different names, and I'm not sure what they are trying to do with that.
Sometimes I think it's someone from one of the clinics trying to stir up trouble.

The fibromyalgia isn't only nerve pain, it's sleep issues, mental fog, and the never ending fatigue. Along with that I have arthritis and several other issues. I'm going through the crazy sleep issues again. Just when I think I'm getting a break and going to be able to have some normal sleep, FAT CHANCE LOL
Of course it's a cycle, fatigue, then sleep issues, the less sleep more pain, more pain less sleep, more fibro fog and more fatigue, making sleep difficult, round and round we go LOL It's 4am and I'm getting crazy !!

COSusie, I did the same thing! As they say, silence speaks volumes! Two of a kind, we are! I will give anyone multiple chances but when they are constantly met with negativity and cruelness, I've had it and u r right to apologize! I'm right there with u! Again, I'm sorry I went off but u just don't attack my friends without getting reaction! We r all here because we need one another and besides trying to help, as u can c, we have each other's backs also!

Oh me too, that's why I apologized to everyone, cause in the beginning I encouraged him to hang in and not leave us or to give up on CO. I just thought he was looking for some help making it through whatever is happening in his life, but guess not. Some people have a harder time adjusting then others, so I thought he just needed a little time. Again sorry :)

COSusie, I couldn't agree with u more! I've offered him help, told him he was inappropriate before and even asked why he even follows this group especially after what he's said about us! I just don't get the whole thing! If all u want to do with your life is take your anger out on a group like this, then he needs to get a life! Seems his only defense is not answering! He just ticks me off! Why hurt nice folks? I just don't get it! Sorry. I've kinda had it with him!

rainbowflowers,
I think Jetmech is just trying to get you going :). Pueblo isn't all Mexican or Indian. There are all races there, just like almost every city. He's defending what the "comment" post said, because he seems to get a kick out of getting people going. Jetmech was talking about "illegals" and trying to defend the racist remark made by "comment" by bringing "illegals" into it. Illegals wasn't even mentioned by "comment", that why I say Jetmech just likes to get people going LOL.

JaneyGirl,
I wouldn't hold my breath for any sort of apology from Jetmech, look at the insulting remarks he made about working at convenience stores, and he still hasn't manned up over that remark. I don't think I'm being paranoid, I think some of the various nasty remarks are being done by one person who is pretending to be multiple people. Before anyone "mis" reads, I didn't say Jetmech was that person, nor did I imply it.
For instance that "cookie" who said no one responded after multiple posts by her, not true, there weren't multiple posts done by her using different names. I went back as far as September, and it just wasn't true. I asked for additional information before I came to that conclusion, but none was provided. She threatened to "expose" us, whatever in the world that was suppose to mean. That's what I'm referring to, that sort of ridiculous stuff. I think it's all the same person, even as far back as "junkie".

Not stating facts but opinions, regardless Jetmech, it doesn't belong on this website! Not different than the opinion that folks who need medications to function r drug addicts! Either way, doesn't belong here and needs to stop as well as an apology to everyone this comment offended!

But regardless of you deeming Comment as racist, Pueblo is all Mexican....and Indian. He wasn't stating anything but fact.
