Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Massachussetts (Page 3)

I am in need of a new doctor in my area that is not going to blow me off when I am a new patient with a history of taking M S Contin, Oxycontin and Oxycodone. If anyone knows a decent doctor in my area I would appreciate the refferall it is hard to just call around for one when I say that I have been on meds they say they don't do that. Are you allowed to go out of state? to the next state over I am so sick of the reaction the second you mention a history of narcotics. I have recently lost feeling partially in my arms and legs from a car accident. What happened to good old doctor's

Keikee,

What about the website you mentioned in one of the other post about finding out the prescribing habits of Dr. from state to state? I think you called it Pro Publica, is that right? You said it told the percentage of narcotics each Dr. prescribed, right? What choices are we being left with these days? You are in PA, right? I am in NC & no luck with a good pain Dr. yet. Pls keep me posted, everyone. This back pain is like a blow torch & ice scraper every single day! I hope to hear from you, Keilee!

OMG!!! Looking for doctors to prescribe narcotics is an art and requires thoughtful, articulate and adult skill. It is an approach like this from the person to whom you responded to that is clearly making the problems chronic pain patients face , so much worse. People wake up, use your head. Take a referral from your dr, your medical records and MRI and cats can reports. Let things like this make your case for you. The less said the better, because I will tell you for sure, that dr that you are sitting two feet away from is giving you the once over with an eagle eye, for sure. And act and dress conservative. When you make yoyr first call, tell the office your appt is for pain management and stop. When you see the dr smile, look them in the eye and shake their hand. The first impression is everything. Your description of your pain management history must match your records. Don't try to make any changes at the first meeting., OR try to increase the dose u less your referring dr states in the referral letter that the dose you are on is inadequate for whatever reason. These docs feel threatened by pain management patients, especially if you are new. The last thing they want is a problem, especially a narcotic problem. An attempt to get a valid, ongoing RX for pain meds for chronic pain is an ART...please don't forget it, seat you do in your efforts, unfortunately. will affect the rest of us. Don't think for a minute that these docs are not discussing these situations in their professional forums,cause they are!!
