Doctors In Louisiana That Prescribe Methadone For Chronic Pain (Page 12)

Updated

I have been taking 120 mg of methadone for approximately 5 years. My husbands job transferred us from Florida to Louisiana where I found a pretty good pain doc. He is now running scared and wants to take me off of methadone. Methadone has given me a good quality of life; I am able to work and be a productive member of society. My doctor is unwilling or unable to assist me in finding a new doctor who will continue my meds. Oh yeah, I have been the route of blocks and injections and gotten little if any relief. I'm tired of being branded a drug seeker-I have years of medical records that back up my claims and verify the dosages that I've been on-what drug seekers have this kind of back up? I am looking for a Louisiana doctor, but am willing to travel (within reason of course). Please help!!

I live near Houma, LA and have been seeing a pain doctor in a near by town. Recently, I was in a car accident and got what is labeled as 'whiplash'. Since then, I have developed pain between my shoulder blades and upper back. The pain doctor says he will "only treat one condition at a time", and will not even discuss the newest pain in my neck and upper back area. All I am receiving for this is physical therapy for the neck. Nothing for the mid-and upper back area. My family doctor has ordered no tests on my upper back. She wrote one prescription for hydrocodone, which when the pain doctor found out about this, completely took the attitude that I am some type of drug addict-refusing to count the pills in the hydro bottle to verify that I have taken less than half of the recommended dose. Making me feel about an inch high. Not to mention embarrassing me in front of his nurse. It has not that I have not needed something for pain because I have, but I find little relief in the hydros other than making me sleepy all day long. My family doctor overbooks her case load and only spends about 5 minutes with each patient. Rush in and rush out. My shoulder was also injured in the accident. No one has even so much as X-rayed my shoulder. I have not hired an attorney but with the way I keep getting brushed off and looked at like a dope fiend, I am starting to think perhaps I should do so. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia in the past. I have heard that methadone is helpful for long term pain control. Does anyone know a doctor in Houma, LA who would at least listen to me and prescribe methadone rather than shove a bunch of opiods at me only to treat me like a pariah for simply filling the script?

AlexB, Louisiana Medicaid will not pay a Pain Management Dr for chronic non cancer pain. You may be able to find another specialist that will do it, but it will be very difficult.

GRANDMA PAT, I've watched a number of these petitions over the yrs and none of them have even come close to the needed number of signatures. Very few of them are based on actual Facts and Laws. They are based on assumptions and incorrect info.

cherie, methadone being prescribed for those addicted to drugs and methadone being prescribed for chronic pain are different. If you need it for drug addiction, see if there are any Methadone Clinics in your area.

Monroe and shreveport both have methodone clinics no dr referral needed . Behavioral health . But it is monitored daily , you go every day to get your dose .

Methadone Clinics don't treat patient for chronic pain, they treat drug addicts. If you start going to a Methadone Clinic to get your pain meds, you may never be able to find a dr who will treat your pain because you have a history of drug addiction.

Yes there is a doctor in Metairie at 206 sierra Ct. The phone # is (504) 834-1311. He is very good but you have to be 30 years old and have documentation.

Bay, you need lyrica for the burning pain, it sounds to me like you have crushed or damaged nerves. The neurontin my have helped in the beginning but wears off after a while. Mobic or meloxicam is another good med that goes with the pain meds for arthritis. It's very inexpensive if you have no insurance. The lyrica however can run anywhere from $50 to $100 but I promise it's worth every penny not to feel like your holding onto or standing on live wires.4

Sydney Crackhower WILL NOT WRITE METHADONE NOR ROXI\OXICODONE. 120 HYDROCONDONE & EITHER OR 30 XANAX OR VALIUM AND 'IF' IS A BIG WORD IF YOUR LUCKY, YOU MAY GET 90 SOMA. He's an a**hole if you go in there saying you've taken methadone or roxi's. Years ago his son ripped off his script pads and was writing like crazy and the doc almost went to the pen behind all the bs.
