Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 150)
(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!!!!!

Glad you are still here. Happy that you found a doctor that works for you. It was a problem in the beginning for you. Is he a GP or Pain Management?
My doctor specifically asked that none of his patients put his name on the internet. We have very limited doctors in this area, and if one of these couple isn't what you need, such as heart, kidney etc., you have to make the trip to the Springs. When it happened to him before, people were driving here from the Springs and Denver, which is a big red flag. There are many doctors in Denver and the Springs, so why the trip all the way up here? Hoping that we have "country doctors" that aren't "hip" to what's going on?

I will absolutely share his name. His name is Dr. Kornfeld and he is located at Denver Health Center at the Lowry Campus. He will tell you that he wants to work with you in fixing the problem and not just treat the symptoms. He likes to take time to discuss issues and various treatments. I have seen him twice, and I am happy with him so far. He mentioned that with the artificial knees, losing weight is key and that if I can't drop it myself, we will discuss options at my next follow up appointment in 6-8 weeks. The clinic does accept insurance and is well respected in the area.

Jet mech... Does that mean you'll share your doctor's name? My dr didn't say NOT to share his name, but when it was shared, every seeker in Denver showed up. It just creates problems... That's all.
Glad you are doing well.

There's something else wrong with me now. No idea !! I've been having a problem with my feet, ankles, and lower calves swelling. I've been in for blood work (blood clot stuff) and I've mentioned it several times, but they just sort of blow me off. Yesterday I went in for a flu shot and made some appointments. 1st one is Weds. My feet are so swollen I can't even put on regular shoes. My feet and legs were the only thing skinny on this poor fat body and they are no longer :)

Hi everyone!
I read and got caught up. I wish I were better so as to offer some support. Unfortunately, I took a turn for the worse and only now am I upright. It's lonely on house / bed rest.
As for y'all I missed the chit chat and I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday coming up.

I found a doctor, I am able to work....though not doing what I truly love to do, and as long as I have my pain pills to take the biggest part of the pain away, I have no use for a group. I spend my free time either tending to my reef aquarium or travelling with my family, so time isn't a commodity I have much of. I completely disagree with any doctor that wants his name kept quiet and I question his motives for being in medicine in that case.

As for many of the pee here....the sickness and symptoms many describe indicate toxic mold poisoning. My family and I are fighting it right now and it is a mystery to 99% of the medical industry. Mold produce Mycotoxins that can cause much pain and damage that will often be diagnosed incorrectly and treatments never work. I think many here should read up on it....and if it mentions allergies....find a different info source. It is not an allergy....it is a poisoning.

Just FYI - Dr Cambe retired from Mapleton Clinic in Boulder in July 2014. Great doctor who is sorely missed - pun intended.
