Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 16)
(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!!!!!

Fed up, fed up 2, and mamma concerned with yr son,

Why would you intentionally go after a dr's office? I understand loving yr child but if you know he is selling and abusing, call the police on him, call the dr's office. I know when I went to CPR, they were not helpful at all and my problems are severe enough that I was approved for social security on the first application and that is extremely rare.

Fed up - how would you feel if we suddenly decided to call your pain doc? Especially since AMA guidelines say that opiates are not helpful at all for osteoarthritis and should not be prescribed for that condition, same with your other condition. Be grateful you have found a pain management specialist that has helped you, would you want your doc shut down!

I feel for concerned mom but getting the news involved isn't going to help!! What her son needs is an intervention and an addiction specialist but unfortunately, doesn't sound like mom is getting that help. Concerned Mom, please call a specialist in addiction and see if they can help you! Addiction will qualify him for SSDI and Medicaid so he can get the help he needs and go back to being your loving boy!

FED UP,

YOU may want to re read or have someone read what I wrote, because you misread or didn't understand what I wrote.
Not once did I say you were discharged, nor did I ever state that you did coke. Before you go get all uppity, get your facts straight.

Wow, things seem to have gotten heated at times. That's too bad.

I saw on the news here in Oklahoma that a good night sleep releases the same amount of endorphins as hitting a $150,000.00 lottery. I would agree with that. I am dirt poor so the money would be very appreciated but I haven't had a good night's sleep in months. I do remember how good I felt last time it happened. I used to write code for some large companies and the state, so many years ago I purchased a sleep number bed. People think nothing of spending $20K or far more on a car but would never dream of spending $8K on a bed even though they spend far more time in the bed.

To the concerned family... It is amazing how manipulative a person struggling with addiction can be. I have a dear friend I met in 5th grade. At age 18 we were in a very bad car accident where I died 3 times and was in a coma 100 days. He was similarly injured. My doctors always did the random counts and drug panels. His doctors did not. He got caught up in addiction and eventually illicit drugs. His doctor found out and he was dropped. I was unaware of what was going on until his wife called me concerned. I called his brother to ask the brother to inform the parents but he would not. It was left to me to inform the parents, people who had been very kind to me. They did all they could but until he was arrested nothing changed. My friendship was forever damaged but I feel I did the correct thing. I can say he is now (to the best of my knowledge) on a good path in life but there were many bad times between when I found out and now. It was all worth it to see him prospering as a person, husband and father.

Lies, I don't think so. I wasn't discharged for anything thanks. You talk about rumors. You just said I was doing coke ha ha I don't use drugs. The mother has every right to bring attention to CPR. For info they send in fake people to see if they get meds. Food for thought. CPR IS BEING WATCHFUL.

FedUp,

I don't know if maybe you are the patient who was discharged for using coke or not, but you may want to stop spreading lies. You must have MRI's, physical therapy records, CT scans and a lot of other documentation before you get a pain management prescription from Colorado Pain Relief. Most patients follow a rigorous routine and we also can't use marijuana, any Benzos, such as valium. It concerns me how many people just jump to the conclusion that it is a pill mill. How are legit patients supposed to be treated? Most primary care physicians such as Kaiser won't treat pain management. I hope that you get to experience what we get to go through one day. May be eye opening for you. Don't judge until you have walked a block in my shoes, karma ALWAYS gives us what we deserve!

Concerned loved one
I am so sorry you are going through this. Sounds like your son NATHAN NATE is a very charming, convincing liar.
CPR, requires MRI'S and actual doctor referrals to be seen. If your son is doing this, why haven't you just called them and talked to them. I habe been going to them for years. Car accident 5 ruptured disks and more. Why on earth would you want to do harm to other people because your child has never had to suffer the consequences of his actions?
Just call them, ask to talk to someone in charge and tell them your concerns. They may call him in for a "random pill count" which they do sometimes and he would never even know it was you who called.
That is what I would do in your position.
But please know, CPR is not the only pain management clinic and the possibility that your son would just go elsewhere is very high.
Also, your son probably lives with you. The next time he is vomiting because he took to much, call an ambulance. He will have to account for all his medication and if he is short, it will be reported.

Cadsandra, Did you misspell your name? I totally feel for you. I am also victim of car accident. Sounds like you are scared and frustrated. Unfortunately, with all the things you described, your chances of ever going back to your old life are very slim. May I suggest you start thinking of creating a new life. I know it is scary and may even be paralyzing, but can you really imagine yourself standing for 12 - 14 hours a day for 4 - 6 day in a row? Plus lifting, bending and being empathetic to people whom you may encounter who are faking it for drugs? What else would you be happy doing that wouldn't cause your body so much pain and agony? As for a pain doctor in your area, I am of no help, sorry. Do not know that area at all. If you were up to the drive down here once a month, I highly recommend Colorado Pain Relief in Wheat Ridge. The doctors are great, understand and want to help. Have all your records first to shorten your wait. As for your doctor suddenly taking a hiatus, that happened at CPR, a patient that was found with coke in their system was told that they would no longer be welcome or treated at CPR. That patient filed a grievance with the medical board and the doctor was put on immediate suspension. It is still being investigated by the medical board, but the DA has already dismissed the allegations. I see that you said you are on fentanyl, oxy and diazepam as well as neurontin, that would send up flags, whomever you go to, start out by telling them where your health was, where you are at now and where you want to be. Don't talk medication, unless the doctor asks, another flag! Have a journal that says what you are taking, what you have tried, what works, what doesn't work and why. Any adverse side effects that may not be allergic reactions, but still not good. If a medication won't let you sleep, not necessary an allergic reaction, but sleep deprivation is not good. Good luck, I hope you heal both physically and mentally. XOXO

Mama, I say you are on the right track. I am a pain patient but I do not go online and ask what doctors will give out what drugs and who will give out the most! I go to the pain doctor that my family doctor referred me to... Period. It is seldom that I see young people in the office that I go to. I'm in my sixties and have some pretty severe problems including osteoarthritis and Interstitial cystitis and probably don't get near what these people are walking out of some of these doctors offices with. They have the database where doctors and pharmacists can be sure that patients are only filling pain medications from one doctor; however they have done nothing to stop people who have gotten dismissed/or fired from one or more doctors for a dirty U/A or people that have been arrested for drugs from getting these medications from a doctor. To me it seems like one of the easiest things they could do. I rent out a home I own but before I rent it to anyone I do a background check on them. Where is the background checks. If you've had a problem at some stage of your life it should not preclude you from getting help if you are in pain but you should be getting more monitoring than a little old lady who has broken her hip and has never had any brushes with the law. Besides that I read these posts quite often and I now know so much more than I would have known before. There is a good number of these fakers that also take someone else's U/A into the bathroom instead of using their own because they're dirty. I was a flight attendant before injuring myself and I would have no objection to someone coming into the bathroom with me and making sure that what I put in that cup was actually my own. Lastly if I had a member of my family that was in trouble like this Mother's Son appears to be in; I would much rather have my son in jail for drugs then have him be in jail because his drugs killed one of his friends.

I have read this particular post for a very long time knowing that there are quite a few people that probably do not need the medications that they are getting. The truth is that the gentleman that started this post is no longer with us. Anyone that read enough of the post would see what happened but it's apparent that the people that were supporting him knew that he had a problem but still would not come out and tell him that they knew he had a problem I know it is not good to talk about someone who is no longer with us so may he rest in peace and may those that knew he had a problem share the some of the responsibility for all he lost! Mama do what you gotta do to try to save your son and keep him from injuring or killing someone else with medication that is given to him but he then turns around and sells. God bless you and may you be strong!

Hello to all new posters. I just wanted to say that there was a petition i shared on this with only 300 signatures, i checked a few months ago. So I was expecting the gov. to decrease the production of opiates by 25%. I posted a few days back. Humana part D Medicare would not after PA pay for a change in my Dr to oxy er. They are marked OP. I ended up on my og med MS Contin. Humana said they pay for abuse resistant Opana Er. I waited 48 hours for it to help. it has so much plastic on it my body was only getting half the dose cuz the other half of the pill was excreted. So until my next appointment i just asked for my og script.

To the concerned one, that is awful for ur family member to go into this clinic fraudulently. He is lying to them. I beg of you not to hurt the pain patients who are in dire need of meds. I ask that you just call the Dr's office and speak your concern. 95% chance they will stop prescribing for him. This same facility has addiction treatment as well. I don't go to that clinic but a number of ppl go there and they are in real pain.

Concerned, I feel your pain. You're a hundred percent right, they are a pill mill. Anyone with any referral gets meds. I saw kids in there getting their monthly supply to sell. This is exactly why people with real conditions are not getting help.

Problem: My son has had a long time (11 years) issue with addiction and the law. This place (colorado pain relief wheat ridge) not only supplies my son with large amounts of pain killers once a month. He pays a few hundred dollars and walks out only to sell and distribute amongst his circle of drug addict friends. He makes roughly $2,500 in one day by faking a back injury. He ran from the law in Florida when he was hitting multiple pain doctors a week and then selling the meds. His friends are overdosing because of this business. Well, I'm done bailing him out of jail for domestic violence and mental health. Nathan is an addict that needs help but these doctors look the other way and let all these young men use the facility like a toilet. I will be calling all the local news station for help to expose the real truth behind COLORADO PAIN RELIEF AND THE CROOKED EMPLOYEES AND DOCTORS before my son dies of an overdose or kills another friend. My son is a pill dealer not a pain patient. I won't stop till I ***** the doors on this place. Nate has never ever complained about a back ache or any other ailment - I'm his mom and should know. He just gets pills from CPR and then abuses them and vomits till he's out. I want answers.
