Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 263)
(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!!!!!

Yes he is in a subburb of Denver called wheat ridge but if you test positive for meds not on your pmdp (drug monitor program) aka in your pharmacy records he might turn you away. But just be honest and tell him the truth and he might work with you. He is very compationate. If u call tomorrow morning (technically today) you might be able to get in this week.

GEEZ!!!!!!! I've never even heard of 300mg methadone doses. Be careful to never withdrawal from it because it will be HORRIBLE at that dose.

Hi. My name is Ashley I'm 25 years old and have severe scoliosis I had surgury wen I was 18 and have two metal rods from my neck to middle of my back and ten screws on each side, I was in so much pain and still am I get headaches everyday, I totally understand what you mean about Drs not wanting to or are affraid BC were to young they say, which is crap BC they have no idea what were going thru. It took a long time of seeing different doc's and meds but I finally tried a methadone clinic for my pain. I'm on 300 mg and most days are some what liveable but still have pain but at least I can function normally and get things done. I don't have insurance so I'm applying for Disability BC I need med attention seeing my scoliosis is coming back and the rods are.bending which is causing seizures and bad head pain. But what I wana say is try a methadone clinic they have no problem increasing ur dose so u can get thru a day without being in pain. I live in Michigan but I'm sure there's Clinics in Colorado! There's also a great hospital speacilizing in back issues in.Colorado called the "spine correction center of the Rockies " look it up I've been very interested in.this place!

They don't write any benzos except valium because it's part muscle relaxer. But no they won't write Xanax. You will have to get that from her primary care physician.

Thanx a bunch tam. You've been verry helpfully. I'm gonna try and get her in to CPR. You think they will lower her dose n give her somthing slow realese or keep or were she's at and give her something slow realese? Also they give her Valium but she would rather have Xanax. Is it close enough to the Valium to ask if they can just switch or dose she need a diff reason to get the Xanax? Please get back to me and let me knw what I should do and what you think. Please and thank you.

Take Tammy's advice and don't wait a minute to call! My Dr of years also dropped all his pain management Dr's, which sent me into a whirl of what looked like Dr shopping! I'm sorry, having been a nurse I was appalled at the Dr's who charge u hundreds of Dollars, glanced over your chart, wrote you scripts and sent you on your way! I dropped these guys because they never even examined me and after year's of the se treatment, meds were really no longer working! The guys at CPR are compassionate but knowledgable! They did a full exam, talked to me about my treatment and we together came up with a program that gave me my life back! They are amazing! Don't do as I did and try to find someone closer to where I lived! They are well worth the drive! I wish u well! We all really do know what u r going through! Tale care!

No problem bear. I know all too well how it is to be treated like a junkie. I lost my sister to abuse of medications and so of course I'm going to be thrown in the pot with her when people know I take pain meds and that my sister died from abusing them.... It sucks ass. But you know who you are and that you have a legit reason for taking them and that's all that matters. I tell people to f*** off when they talk to me like I'm a junkie. It's like go ahead and live in my shoes for even a few hours. Most people would be in the fetal position in the corner. Stay positive and always make sure you're giving a good name to patients who take their meds correctly and for good reason, and not just to get high.

The people at cpr are great so you should not have a problem getting in with them. Good luck and hopefully everything gets better. If you call today before 5 they can probably get u in next week or if u call tomorrow they close at noon.

Thank u. Proving I'm legit is definately not a problem, I had to have everything documented for my disability case and I have xrays and bone density tests. Thank u for caring and trying to help others bcuz that's really rare and hard to find these days. It's sad we have to be mistreated and treated like we're junkies. Trust me if I could go back to how I was before I got sick I'd take that anyday!

Grumpy Bear just read through all the comments. And the doctor will be the guy to decide what to do. He's compassionate, but they have sniffed out the seekers that's for sure. So if you're legit he'll help. But just read through the thread please. And trust me I know ALL TOO WELL about other people abusing pain meds causing problems for me. And it's BS. I'm sorry for your situation, hopefully this thread will help you out. Do your best not to let the pain bring you down emotionally. I know it's hard but it will help with your overall perspective.

I just came across this site and urs was the first question I found. I was really wondering since this was over a year ago u posted this, if u had found a compassionate doctor? I too am so frustrated that we as chronic pain sufferers have to go thru the wringer to try and live a halfway normal life, then u get the ones who just want to escape reality. I have a primary care who I get some kind of pain medication from, but unfortunately it's a family clinic and residency program so we only get the students. I've been on my same dose for over 2yrs now, my pain was getting worse & I desperately tried to tell them something wasn't right. So I guess my punishment for even hinting that I needed a increase was a reduction in my dosage. When my test results came back from my rheumatologist that my RA had progressed more and more holes in my bones on my hand had shown up. Also that my polymyositis was back and raging & on top of that I may now have Lupus. My primary care dr did not want to hear about it. Their solution is either I find a pain doctor to get medications from or they're going to stop giving me mine altogether. So please help if u could.

Thanks Mac and tam, they have her on 15mg oxycodone and Valium. She said when she took her U.A she was filling the oxycodone. I been wanting to het her in to CPR but she's not on any slow release. They have the same cups as CPR so do you think if she failed her U.A they wouldint of gave her her script? I just don't want to hert are case we got going with the lawyer. Thank you for telling me about the Ibprovin. I told her to start taking a 1/2 or 1/4 of her meds instead of the Ibprovin. Thank you guys for all your advice. Please get back to me and let me knw what you think. Thanks.

Tam the only reason I say that is that I had a friend that did the exact same thing and he didn't pass. He took it at the beginning of his 45 minute drive to the dr and he failed the test. But I wish you the best of luck Rob.
