Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 264)

Updated

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!!!!!

Thanks! I have an appointment Monday morning. It is VERY expensive, but I'm at my wits end and am tired of still being in pain and/or feeling bad all of the time. I'm really hoping that he can help me. I like being able to just contact him directly by cell at any time. That means something to me.

I just find things here to be odd.... I moved here in 2014. I had a double knee replacement in 2012, one of them failed and I want to lose a bunch of weight before getting a 3rd knee replacement. I had zero problem finding a PCP that would continue me on my current pain management program. I was on Medicaid, he verified my condition, and sent me on my way with my Vicodin. I soon found a job in my field, and had to change doctors. Again.....no issue. About a year and a half later.......some junkie in Parker.....where I live......got in a shootout with cops and all the Drs in the area stopped most pain management. Mine told me that due to my job, and how responsible I am with my meds.....I would remain as one of their 2 pain management patients. Fast fwd a year, and yesterday, we discussed that the dosage i have been on for 2 years isnt as effective anymore. My doc upped my dose to 10mg, 5 times a day.......gave me 3 written prescriptions, one current, 2 for July and Aug and sent me on my way.

I have showed my doc many posts on this thread......and they haven't heard of any of them. I never have to do U/A's, because I have them so often at work. I never have issues with getting my meds, and my doc says if I want to consume marijuana.....they don't care since it is legal here. I don't do it only because my job as an aircraft mechanic is federally regulated, so the drug panels go by fed law..... Why do so many people in this group, have such a hard time finding a decent family doc that will handle your needs?

Jetmech,
Consider yourself very blessed, I have MS, multiple broken bones from skiing, I was fine until my neuro closed his practice, family docs up here don't do pain management at all unless ortho injury then they over prescribe for that first month, after that on yr own, remember u are only 1 of 2 pain patients that yr doc handles, the others, they wont, I pray yr doc doesn't retire, move to another practice etc as then you will be like the rest of us, Dr Lincoln is very good but won't go over certain dosage which is good, also only random ua , I am in yr situation as well as my employer and licence require I follow federal law, I have been on same dosage for 10 years now, usually have extra left over at end of month, take only when needed, never ask for extra, never stolen, keep meds locked up etc etc and the docs still won't do it bc they don't want the hassle of the dea and state agencies, I finally figured I would pay out of pocket for pain relief, the price of coffee each day to be happy,active and pain free!

Oh JetTech, there are lots of us who just have bad luck. And there are most certainly some people in here that have a drug problem and probably don't even realize it. I've personally made a couple of stupid mistakes, but my issue has been 2 main things: 1. My insurance randomly stopped covering my doctor and I can't afford the up front cost of $290-$500 for one of the understanding doctors. 2. You make one or two mistakes (miscommunication on one, and the other wasn't even me but docs don't believe you) and a doctor will discharge you. Worse than that, these piece of s*** doctors I've seen lately think despite my HIPPA preferences, that it's okay to call my new doctors and tell them they think I have lied or am a drug seeker or whatever. So it's like they work together to keep someone from getting help the first time something goes wrong.

Someone filled a script under my name from a doctor I've never seen, for a medication I've never taken on april 7th. There is a video of her doing this, and about 29 other prescriptions they were able to prove she filled under other people's names from a pad she stole from a doctor she worked for. The police are great and have my back but doctors don't give a s***, they see an extra script on your PDMP and treat you like a drug addict. It's unreal. Plus, you are on a much lower dose than a lot of us I am sure. You take 5-10mg vicodin each day, I'm on 6-20mg oxycodone per day. Big difference.

Has anyone seen this? I just saw these two things today:

cnn.com/2017/06/08/health/fda-opioid-opana-er-bn

nj.com/opinion/index.ssf/2017/06/prescribers_must_be_first_line_of_defense_against.html

This scares the daylights out of me, I pray they don't take away the only life giving thing I have!

5252 Tae,

Colorado Pain Relief in Wheat Ridge Colorado works with both of those medications. Be forewarned, they do U/A's every month, you must have a medical history, you CAN NOT use Marijuana, they take cash only. There is an actual doctor, you will need to have an annual blood test at your primary care physician to confirm your liver and other organs are functioning properly. I really like them, they are like a family. nAnd they don't take any BS.

Last exit and Rainbowflowers, I too just can't get the needed Relief, from Lincoln ,or what works and he will write but my insurance won't pay.
My biggest concern is the first initial payment.
What a luxury to have to only go in every other month.
If I can get my funds together my goal will be to get in with Dex by beginning of call.
I do however consume marijuana to help with the pain too.
I wonder if that would be a problem with Dex.

I have been lucky. If my doc disappears.....I'll be on the search again, but that's not likely. He isn't much older than I am, and has 4 great nurse practitioners that I usually see. In nearly 3 years, I have only seen the doctor once. I, too hoard my meds......and keep them in my pocket always, ever since we had new windows installed, my meds were in the Medicine cabinet in the bathroom, and when the workers were gone.....so were my pain pills. I contacted the company, then filed a police report, then, when nothing came of it, I contacted my doc. They gave me a new prescription, told me to not run it through insurance, meaning pay the full "screw me hard" price......and to never let this happen again. So, since then.....my pills are NEVER farther away from me than my pocket......and next to my concealed carry permit and sidearm......NO ONE WILL EVER STEAL MY MEDS AGAIN!!

I hope y'all find a decent doc and some relief. Between my Vicodin and stretching that out with Kratom, I carry on a fairly normal life. For instance, today is my 49th birthday, my family and I are headed up to the mountains behind Central city for fishing and shooting our numerous firearms. Then, hopefully a fresh caught Trout birthday dinner! Take care y'all!!

Wish I could help, I moved to colorado springs, co. I am 70 yrs. old and have been on oxycodone (6 a day). I went to a pain management doc, pissed them off cause the lab said I have hep-c and my vasqular surgeon had evaluated me to find that I don't have it. The doctors here are awful. the first doctor I went to diagnosed me while I was sitting in a chair as having curvature of the spine. second visit he looked at my back then decided I don't have it. I would love to find a good doctor here. if u find one let me know and I will do the same. by the way they said at my last apt they found methamphetamine in my U/A. A 70 yr. old junkie worked for a couple police dept.s and city of Dallas, TX. never tried the stuff. I didn't even try marijuana till I moved to colorado. the marijuana helps and I get it from a dispensary clinic..wish u all the luck. If I don't find one soon, I will return to Dallas.

Ma Zero... I live in the Springs. Dr. Finn is a physiatrist... meaning he's an expert at bones and joints but doesn't do major surgeries... he's wonderful! He is NOT a pain mgt dr, but once he makes a diagnosis, he can refer you to someone. There are also several Orthopaedic centers in the Springs... so maybe call around and see who can get you in. Good luck!

I am in Grand Jct. And havent been able to find a doctor who will treat my fibromyalgia, chronic atypical migraines, and a bulging cervical disc causing constant neck pain. I'm barely able to function. I, through no fault of my own had to move here from Cleveland where I was seen regularly and treated with various nerve blocks and meds at the Cleveland Clinic Pain Mgt Center. I've got constant pain for the last 6 years. Can you share your doctor's information with me? I wuld be so very grateful.
