Doctors In Louisiana That Prescribe Methadone For Chronic Pain (Page 5)

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!!

REPORT

A Dr. That Prescibes Methadone in Phoenix Metro Area. Preferably a pain management doctor, one that I can get a new MRI of back and x-rays-haven't had them done in years, and I need to see how far the damage has progressed. My PM doc I had from about 2006-2010 got shut down by the DEA. I have been going to a clinic to get my methadone since then. I'm really getting tired of the watered down version I get, and it lasts only a couple hours now after I take it, so I really am limited in my activity during the day. It used to work very well for my upper thoracic pain (myofascial) when I was on the 10 mg. tabs.

You may have problems trying to get Methadone for chronic pain or anything other pain meds after going to a Methadone Clinic for addicts. Usually drs will shy away from treating addicts for chronic pain. Unless your medical records state that you're receiving the Methadone for chronic pain and not addiction.

When looking for a Pain Management Physician, the best thing to do is to get an appointment and go. If you ask if they use a certain drug or even if the writes rx, you're probably going to be told no. Asking for a certain med is a red flag. And finding another dr that will use the same meds as another dr did can't always be done, especially when it is a different part of the country.

You can also call your insurance company for a list of drs that take your insurance. But, they won't be able to tell you if they rx a certain med. Also most drs will still want to get your medical records from you previous dr, even if you have them with you. The validity of the medical records are often in question is they haven't come directly from the previous dr.

1st. Injured my back in 1986 I have had a couple neck surgerys in the 90s I have been on 120 Mg of methadone for the last 5 years and it works. I have herniated and bulging disk in my lower back along with nerve damage at the S1 nerve root. My pain management wants me to have surgery done at his facility and I'm not comfortable with that. He is in Baton Rouge la. Where I live an now I need a new pain management in that area that will consider the same treatment. I'm 48 years old an take care of my 88 year old mom.

Hi, it is so sad to see so many of us suffering needlessly due to ignorance! PLEASE HELP, ANYONE WHO KNOWS OF A PAIN MANAGEMENT DOCTOR IN SHREVEPORT/BOSSIER CITY AREA (or withing a couple of hours) who will help as I have moved here from California, took SIXTEEN doctors and about 8 years to finally find a medication regime that helps my extreme chronic pain from two serious car accidents and several bad slip and falls. Quick list: Extreme FMS, herniated disks, spinal cysts, stenosis, spondylosis, arthritis, osteoporosis, nerve impingement, neuritis/neuropathy, massive inflammation throughout, for about 12 years have been taking methadone 10 mg, norco for breakthrough, soma for muscle spasm, neurontin for nerve pain. Have not increased doses, just trying to have some quality of life, without meds literally cannot move. Literally feels like my skin and spine are on fire and someone is stabbing my neck, back in several places with a hot searing poker. NEED HELP ASAP as I am going to run out very soon and so far no luck and really don't need withdrawals on top of the rest of my problems, way too numerous to list here. I do get shots when I can afford them but not only do they not really work but I have no insurance and am cash pay and disabled/unable to work so cannot afford them very often.

You will have to let the dr decide the meds they want to put you on. You will also have to give them permission to get your previous medical records. There is also a teaching hospital there as well as several good pain drs in the private sector. Put pain management dr and the city and state in your search bar.
