Finding A Doc To Prescribe Oxycodone In Springfield Mo (Page 14)

I have a very bad neck injury and I'm taking 4 x 10mg oxycodone a day for pain. I've moved to Springfield recently and all of the doctors offices tell me "Oh, our policy is never to prescribe narcotics." Even the hospitals won't prescribe it and have a family practice docs list and at the bottom of the page the disclaimer states none of the above doctors will prescribe narcotics. I need help anyone know a good doctor with in 200 miles of Springfield Mo. who will prescribe oxycodone?

REPORT

I was in the same dilemma years ago before they even tightened up on the drugs. Every month, I had to drive 200 miles to Milwaukee from the northwoods just to get the script filled. I tried getting a local doctor. He prescribed them without the aspirin if you will. A month later he wanted a U/A from me. No problem. A couple days later his office told me to never come there again. I spoke with one of his people who told me the lab found no signs of opiates in my body. I told them use another lab! Of course they believed the lab and I must have been selling to the fish, white tail and birds! STUPID! For another year, it was 200 miles each way. That was way back in 2009. I suppose I should have been jailed for hooking those poor deer on pain meds--LOL. When I moved to Texas, everything was different. In fact, I was just talking to my friend in Wisconsin and it sounds now like it is structured as Texas and it sounds the same for you.
Regular MDs are just not writing scripts anymore and you need to go to a pain management Dr. The last pain management doctor I had in Milwaukee did kill all my pain! Just a couple side effects. Fell asleep while driving. Would be zoned out and could not carry a conversation. You may wonder what pain management did for me in Milwaukee with 10 herniated discs: 180 MGs of Kadian (Morphine) 50 MGs Fetanyl patch and 60MGs of Oxycodone (Percocet). Never was high and only in a different world. I decided it was best to be in a middle area of pain so I could function and dumped pain management for fear of long time addiction to heavy duty narcotics. Percocet and Vicodin (Hydrocodone) are schedule 2 drugs and because of liability issues, Drs don't want to write these scripts. Even my pain management civilian doctor told me that only me and another patient were on percocet and as soon as we left his care, he would no longer be writing scripts for percocet. He told me the feds were watching every move the office made. I really wish you luck, and possibly check out a pain management clinic close to your residence. There you should have no problem getting what you need. With me, they have suggested surgery, which is fine with me, but this is a 20 year old injury and they won't guaranty anything. I have been exposed personally to 5 neck operations. Two had to get redone. The doctors consider them a success. Then why are they are on even higher amounts of pain killers? Since that is out and I am probably in the dying mode at 65 years old. They are just trying to give me some quality of life and they are. To make things worse, I have MS in which pain killers have no effect on muscle and nerve pain and when that strikes I will go to a 12 and have tears running down my face. I have been taking Gabapentin 2,700 MGs a day, but don't know how long that will work. Good luck on your neck. I really mean it. God Bless!

I found your post from 2013 stating that you know a Springfield, MO Dr willing to prescribe Oxycodone to chronic pain sufferers & I realize I'm totally grasping at straws here four years later, but if by some miracle this Dr is still in practice in Springfield or close by & still willing to prescribe this or other comparable pain meds could you please provide me with contact information? If not can you refer me to ANY Drs who would? I have documented chronic back pain dating back to 1992, current MRI showing bulging disc in lower back severe arthritis & several other issues responsible for my now unbearable pain. Since injury occured in '92 I have been given rx for pain meds only 2 times, no drug seeking behavior no red flags & have current rx from family dr for hydros but had to change drs due to her refusal to complete or sign any paperwork related to my disability app & now am being refused the hydros or any other pain meds had to battle new gp to get referral to pain clinic & when she finally did she instructed the dr there who was well known for prescribing pain meds freely to documented proven pain sufferers not to give me any! At wits end.

I need to find a pain management dr asap. My pain dr I was seeing in fenton, mo got in an accident and has been in the hospital and has to have surgery so the nurse called me and all of the rest of his patients and said that I need to find another pain management dr. They said they will talk to whatever pain management dr. I find to let them know my medical history. It has been hard to find a pain dr cause I am prescribed oxycodone 30mg, methadone and adapex. I have had reconstruction knee surgery and I have 3 herniated discs and 4 bulging discs in my back. If anyone knows of a pain management dr that will help please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you so much.

Hello, If you live around the Springfield MO or Joplin Area please tell who we can see. My husband went to the Welcome Clinic Wellness and being all the Dr's are not Dr's but PA's and they told him he would have to go to the Urgent Care. SO he went to Ozark Urgent Care and waited for 5 hrs 27 minutes, and the Dr refused to fill his Norco or Roxicodone. His back is really messed up after 22 yrs of military service, and he used to be a runner. He is in so much pain he can barely walk. We just moved here from San Diego and never thought that Medical would be so hard to even get an appointment. Sept 6th he sees a Primary Care Dr, then will have to wait to see a pain management person. You know its takes a DR to even prescribe a medication, and now since people don't use it correctly, is making life a nightmare for patients. Don't these so called Dr's understand that people actually suffer badly from pain, chronic pain. I have lost 2 sisters to suicide from living every hour of the day in pain. They took the easy way out. I miss them terribly. And i blame the Drs in their state. Has anyone even come up with a pain medicine that can help people that don't contain opiates? Its so bad when you give your country 22 yrs of separation and harms way each day they are gone, and then be treated like a addict. Just is so unfair to the chronic pain patients, and then be told NO, I will not fill your prescription that he has been on for 3 plus years. Why wasn't my husbands back problems be dealt with a Ortho Dr? No, straight to pain management. It just is so damn unfair. God help that Dr if if something happens to my husband of 38 yrs. The Surgeon General needs to really think about what he is doing to the American people that are living a life, quality of life, and then jerk the rug out from under them. Just is not AMERICAN. I hope these Drs don't have to one day be in constant pain, and they will just have to lay in a bed the rest of his or her life. Then have to think about all the patients he told to go to hell about their painful life. Please if anyone knows of a Dr that actually understands people with chronic pain severe chronic pain, there new treatment is to lay in a bed or couch the rest of their lives. Anywhere in Missouri will work as well. This is not a joke, this is serious and someone needs to do something. I feel there should be a legal suit for Dr's who just let patients go without and go thru withdrawals and hopefully live through it all. Some don't make it. FACT!!! Please help us.

It's unbelievable that the politics and DEA are telling MD's how to prescribe much needed pain relief. I believe that they want you off so you'll buy illicit drugs to support Afghanistan.
