Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 170)

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!!!!!

Tammy also very saddened about such a smart guy. I don't think he overdosed on purpose, being a close family member of his died with an accidental overdose. Idk but I also heard he had heart problems. What I going on with that pharmacy guy at Cpr, I had my close friend go there they realm helped him out but about the same time Mac was accused of changing the date on his script, my friend said a u / a came back with suboxone positive? He's kinda new to CP world ( my friend) he's not the brightest bulb in the pack, but he knows they u a him everytime. I was going to United Health Group in Arvada.. I am moving back within18 months. I do have a feeling CPR should b in good standing. Has Dr may just given up CPR does he ever show up at all?...hope thing r stable for you!! And u r as pain free as possible!! I've posted as Chaos . So I call myself Co to Fl Aka Chaos

Kitty, CPR, Stands for Colorado Pain Relief. They went through some very tough growing pains but now are very stable with two really well educated doc's who know what they are doing. I still go there and have been happy since the changes. Well worth trying out. They started a suboxone treatment center, Medicaid approved which I think is one of the only clinics in the area.

Janey, I only see the office location in Wheatridge listed. I went there yesterday to drop off my documentation n patient pack but the lights were off and no one was there....2pm in the afternoon. Ive been told they split their time between other offices but this is the only one listed on their website. I cant seem to get a return call in a timelymanner either. Any ideas?
Cindy, I still havent received your request to exchange information. Just wanted you to know and say thank you.

I have many medical diagnosis. A fell off nearly 50 feet onto a wall over 30 years ago, which has left me in bad shape. After taking over 400 mg a day of oxycontin for years not to mention the strongest muscle relaxants and many others. The up and down cycle was wearing on my psyche. What I found was an implanted interthecal (directly into the spinal fluid) controlled the pain better...spasms and up and down feeling by no comparison to orals. If you are a patient who is wanting to feel high... this is not for you. I use 3 medications in the pump and take orals once in a great while. I am by no means pain free but it is hands down better than orals. Give Colorado Pain management a call. Dr. Leo and Reuesswig are phenomenal.

I am on Medicare only still as I just turned 61. Any of the places I get help from have take Medicare and I have to pay the 20%. I am trying so hard to wiene myself off the Morphine myself and it's hard and of course the pain is more than I can stand! I just lay on a heating pain and cry and scream as I also have bi-lateral peripheral neuropathy for ten years now with a proper Dx. My entire neck is fused up to the C1-C7 I have a cracked and bulging discs in L3-5, then I have spinal stenosis and terrible facet issues. Total surgeries (58) Epidural totals in my life (17) other things had stimulate bi-lateral and my bad leg and hip stim battery died way to soon (3 yrs) so they took them out completely. If they work better I would be interested to chat with a surgeon to have them redone. They should last at least 5 yrs! I have been in two very serious car accidents in childhood. I had ankle surgery and they failed terribly. Both my knees have fliud in them worse is my right knee where I have to have them drained about every two months. I have muscle spasms so violently that I jump out of bed many times a night and stretch in any direction I can get into to get relief and try to go back to sleep. Never get to REM sleep so I never get deep sleep for my body to recoup itself. I was a an RN Nurse up until I had to go on disability at 36. I adored my career! I tried to re-train into a sitting job in medical records but failed as they placed me into power chair and scooter but the up and down to reach foods etc made me even more in pain. I am just trying to be my own advocate as they all tell you to be good patient. But it seems to piss them off more. I will try just about anything to just get some of the edge of the pain off so can move some, go groceries, sit and the wash be a wife!!! I hate, and always have hated that high feel!ing!!! I don't even drink anything with alcohol as I hate the feel!! That is why I am so against an refuse "that Pot is the new answer to colorado's new law for pain control! It's not the answer for a majority of patients. Please, we are all in this together so anything I find I will bring your way an please I am new to CO. Please help with a name, Office info. Address if you can and as I look an search I will pass my me findings here for you all. I feel your pain and olive it 24/7. Thank so for your help so far!!!!
Sincerely,
Brye

Phoenix on July 6th Medchat admins told me once they received a request from you they would share my email information. That was the last I heard from them. Should we both put in another request to exchange info and let them know it is a second request?

Oh Cindy, I didnt know we both had to request it. I thought one person requested from another and (once put thru by admin) person on the receiving end would accept or reject. I'll hop on my computer today and scroll back to that very detailed information in the "How To's" for dummies. Given my backgroynd this is really funny. Ill catchup with you later today. Thx Cindy
