Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 157)

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!!!!!

PLEASE STOP PROSECUTING DOCTORS FOR DOING THEIR JOB AND TREATING PEOPLE IN PAIN. I SUFFER 24/7/365 from EXCRUCIATING EXCRUCIATING PAIN Do to a horrible car accident and CANNOT GET MEDICAL CARE AND WAS ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING FOR DEMANDING CARE AT A LOCAL HOSPITAL AND WAS REFUSED TO SEE A DR BECAUSE I AM CHRONIC PAIN PATIENT. THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!!! My life is ruined, not by my injury, but by the GOVERNMENT HOLDING DRs as PERSONALLY LIABLE - WHEN IN EVERY SINGLE OTHER PROFESSION, YOUR INSURANCE HOLDS YOU EXEMPT FROM YOUR PROFESSIONAL DUTY IN THE CASE OF PERSONAL LIABILITY and as a result of the A**HOLE RICH KIDS IN HOLLYWOOD - I cant get pain treatment or even BE SEEN AT A HOSPITAL!!! This has got to stop - STOP OPPRESSING CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND HUMAN DECENCY!!!! If I was a DOG or HORSE or freakin BUNNY RABBIT I COULD GO TO A VET AND GET PAIN TREATMENT, BUT BECAUSE I AM A HUMAN - I CANNOT!!?? This has GOT TO STOP!!!

Hi,

The DEA is forcing doctors that treat people with chronic pain to stop using opiate pain medicine. These medicines help us live a daily life with the ability to function: bathing, dressing, shopping, walking, and other normal activities.

In their effort to stop illegal drug activities, the DEA is hurting people who need treatment.

That's why I signed a petition to The United States House of Representatives, which says:

"Stop the DEA from making choices for chronic pain patients and their doctors, who are being forced to close their doors to patients. Legal prescriptions of opiate drugs are not the problem, and people are suffering because of the DEA's policies. Hurting people in chronic pain isn't the way to get drugs off the streets."

Will you sign this petition? Click here:

Thanks!

Texmex, I did wat Teresa said 2 do..she said I need 2 either find another dr or a pain management place so I made a appt with the Strasbourg office cuz they are a part of rocky mnt. went in and told him what Teresa said, mind u when and after dr Ryan I never failed a UA, never got my scripts filled early, never lost or had pain meds stolen. dr Ryan went 2 kaiser same thing with Teresa pass every UA did all her requirements then when Strasbourg office was verifiying my records what Teresa said by look 4 a new dr or pain management cuz being on medicaid u don't have a lot of options so Teresa had her secretary call me and said Teresa FIRED ME from rocky Mt 4 doctoring shopping. I said how, when thats what she told me 2 do? But I'm glad it is working out 4 u. So if I may ask, who did u start seeing there?

Thank you! When it comes to chronic pain, you will always hurt. You will never be pain free. You will never be ble to completely function. It f***ing sucks! And if the meds do work for you they will eventually stop

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!!!

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!

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!

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?

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
