Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 25)
UpdatedI 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!!!!!
Try rocky mt internal medicine they have offices everywhere and have same day apt just bring any MRI'S U have and other paperwork
Rainbow Flowers! Hi! Where are Rocky Mountain Internal Medicine? Do they do internal medicine as well as pain management? I need to find a new internal medicine Dr, mine retired! If I could kill two birds with one stone that would be great but only if it decreases my drive! I love the guys at CPM so they'd have to b pretty special! I've talked with the guys up there about my drive, I basically come from close to the Springs! Believe me, the drive is worth it but I pay all doc visits out of pocket and would save me $$$'s and drive time and costs! It's a tough decision for me but don't want to get into doc shopping issue either! Guys up at CPM don't have anyone to suggest down here either! Thanks!
I do pain management get my meds 1 time a month and they do what is best 4 u not thd my doctor lets me call al tha shots.
they have clinics in aurora denver strasburg
My dr is awsome read threw some of my replys u just need 2 bring all test med records u have and have same day appts.hope this helps
Thanks so much! Not sure what I'll do! Just haven't found a general practice guy I like! I have other medical issues, a cardiac arrest with pacer and stomach issues that have been making once a month visits up to 12 days a month necessary! I really need someone that can coordinate these pain issues, left leg problems from back issues, right arm and chest pain from CPR and broken ribs and major need for mouth reconstruction due to them breaking teeth during CPR! They have to turn off pacer to do surgery and it's tough to find anesthesiologist that will work with me as back hardware needs to come out also! Because of stomach meds, they have blown all my IV sites so they need to put a port in! Really don't want to embark on all this without a GP I trust! Again, thanks for the info! I see CPR tomorrow and will talk with them! Does anyone know when the physical therapist is in? I'm having new issues with neck and leg, pretty sure it's from vomiting 20+ times a day! Not sure I didn't blow yet another disc or two! Any thoughts guys?
I think they do pt on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays as far as I know.
Fyi for the physical therapy at cpr, Natalie will be not doing physical therapy on fridays starting in december.
Hey Monica just wonderin if u found a pain management dr yet? U mite want 2 try rocky mountain internal medicine they do pain management BUT very strict. U sign a contract and its a 1 time a month 2 get ur meds they have same day appts. Just bring any records you have 4 MRI XRAYS that prove ur condition. They do wats best 4 u and nt wat they think is best. If 1 med dnt work they will go threw diff meds til they find wat works 4 u.They have offices in aurora denver strasburg and clinic in a walmart in aurora also office in broomfield walmart and 1 in a walmart in parker...Hope this helps good luck.
I think they told me today, they r also going to b changing to wed, thurs and Friday, after the holidays! Rocky Mountain is enticing but after today's visit at CPR, I don't want to leave them! They r just so darn good! Looks like I'm bulging the disc above my fusion! No wonder I've been having a tough time! Being a medical professional, u would b hard pressed to find better care than them! Never had an issue getting in quickly when needed! They just r amazing! Well worth the drive! U behave, u have no issues! I've worked with most of the guys here in Denver and the Springs, I'd never have an issue sending clients to them! That says a lot! Plus, after nine months, they r like family! Love that they r as honest with u as u r with them! Thank u Tammy for getting the ball rolling and my life back! With all my medical issues, cardiac arrest, stomach issues, vit b deficiency, weight loss, complete redoing of teeth from them breaking them from CPR, issues with ribs and left arm from same, in planted pacer/defibrillator and back issues with numb left leg, I should b in bed but thanks to them, I'm painting the bedroom today! Tammy, u r an angel and Mac, the same for starting this thread! Nice to have u guys, I often wonder if we r ever there on the same day! Would b nice to put face to name! Happy Holidays to all of u!
That's great to hear Janey!!! I'm very glad for you!!!! :) Happy Holidays!!!
U are welcome, they really do understand how bad pain can be and how it effects your life so they want you happy and as normal as possible. We might have ran into each other but probably best to not have a face to the name but when is ur next appt? Maybe if u say a keyword that u make up here and one of us are there we can come over and talk a little. Happy pain free thanksgiving to everyone.
Hey rainbow flowers.no not yet.ive been talking to my old pain doc.he been trying to open up shop again but has had problems with there system.he said to try to be patient.he was my dr.for 3yrs down here ,gave me my life back.but it's been frustrating waiting.the drs.here in grand junction,do not believe in pain managment.they help u all day as long as it's not chronic pain.its so frustrating.but the pain I have is getting the best of me.dont know if I should call other places or wait for my old doc.i just don't want to waste my time and money.and if another dr. calls me a addict I'm gonna loose it.im not and addict ,sure I know my body and brain have probably become addicted .pain meds and pain I'm sure changes Ur brain chemistry.ive detoxed,so I know my body was addicted.but I won't steal for meds,hurt someone,do anything to get them.u get my drift. i just want to be able to live my life a little comfortable.not to much to ask? or maybe it is?
Hey MAC686 need 2 ask u for ur help on this i was in the er for extreme pain from my womanly issue i only take percocet thru my pain management dr but do i tell him i went or no i read thru tha forum and say sum1 got tha boot from their dr cuz they check out another....what shld i do im really worried
You need to call tomorrow and let them know especially if you got a pain med shot or anything so u don't get booted.
I see my dr monday and when i was at the er i told them i was on pain management and i told them why but the er knows my history of ovarian cyst n fibrois we are doin a hysterectomy n im only 36 but er said they tried 2 get a hold of my dr office bu callin tha dr line and cldnt get thru they gave me all my paperwork that i need for monday.Now my pain management dr has stated if i need the er go but im still scared of being booted and my pain management knows of my history of womaly issue im close with my dr i cry alot with him just wit life issues and he listen
If they left a message with the answering service, u should be fine! I have other issues that sometimes necessitate me being hospitalized! As long as the hospital called, gave me the correct paperwork and didn't prescribe narcotics, they wasn't any issue! It still makes u nervous, I understand and I don't recommend going often but with your issues they should understand! Good luck!
They did give me sum lower dose percocet til last til monday u think that wld be a issue
They did perscribe same pain med im on just a lower dose u think that wil be a issue
I think you'll be ok as long as you're up front and honest. If it was necessary then there shouldn't be a problem. I really can't see a good Dr. booting you if you come forward and tell them the truth that you had to go to the ER. I've found no matter what the truth is ALWAYS better than hiding facts.
Monica try Unified Health Group in Arvada. They are amazing and caring. They keep out the drug seekers and will take care of you as long as you are honest.
Ok thanks if u wanna we thru wat me and tammy talked about ur input wld help 2 and thanks again
