Hey hydro... I've ask that question too. I've been on pain killers muscle relaxers soma lyrca and some others. I have some pain meds. I need my muscle relaxers and xanax. I dont think nobody cares in this forum. But I've been on mine for at least 15 yrs and can prove it. By being drs they should know you're not suppose just stop these meds. I've been up for 5 days and night. I have very bad severe chronic pain. Lots of high anxiety and muscle pain. Please if you hear of a dr in Indianapolis. Please let me know and I will let you know if I hear something but not likely in this forum. I feel like...nm

Hey Guys
Need to find a compassionate pain management dr. I am currently prescribed 180 10/325 loratab and oxycontin 80mg 2xs daily. I have 2-months left and so I am starting my search now.
I have insurance, but can also pay cash if that's all the Dr, will accept. I really want to find a legit Dr, not a pain mill Dr. One who is understanding, who is respectful of my thoughts. I have all my records of X-rays, Mir's, and surgery records. I have been using my out of state Dr. because he has been treating me for 10 years. He know longer wants to treat me do to the latest FDA wanting all pain management patients to be within a certain radius and the new are ""you crazy test"" that pain management Drs. have to have their patients deal with. I feel sad for the addicts who have no legit reasons for taking pain meds. They have screwed things up for us in real pain. And way to many PILL MILL CASH DOCTORS, I think they piss me off the most. So any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Please email at {edited for privacy} Thanks Jeff

I just eant a true,open minded professional to take my situation serious and be the Dr they were trained to be. run tests, observe, listen. medications are made for a reason, for patients who really need them. addicts need help Drs should be sympathetic, and further more the government needs to let pysicians do their job, and the government needs to clean up there mess before theres no world left!

Ok, so this is the first time I realized someone posted on my forum:). Anyway, since last year it took a while including having to go on suboxone, which sucked but it was better than withdraw. Anyway, I found the perfect Dr. for me finally!!! It is Dr. Mimms and he is just south of 465 on 31. Number is 317-781-0067. I got in super fast since he just started and he takes insurance. I hope everyone who comes across this forum I started gets as much help and is as lucky as I am now! Peace out

Is he pain management or family doctor?

REPLY

He is pain management. You are required to do drug screens, but he is flexible and listens. With the new law passed about prescribing narcotics it's virtually impossible to find a PCP who will prescribe any realistic amount of hydro or Oxys.

I agree. They perscribe meds to ppl that dont need them and they are paid cash under the table. Its really a lot BS

I don't love there but know exzctly what you're talking about! Have you tried getting your previous doctor to call or write a letter explaining your condition and legit need for medication? Mine just did it for me but I live in Maryland.

Hi there- I noticed he is a rheumatologist... I'm sure I spelled that wrong (sorry)...does he address other types of pain? I have chronic tension/migraine headaches and actually am not even looking for traditional pain medication...I like Esgic but would love to find a doctor that would prescribe it more than 15 at a time while telling me how much they hate it........or would prescribe Fiorinol to avoid the APAP...I've never tried either with codeine added, so I'm not sure if that would be better for me or something a doctor like Dr. Staley would prescribe?

Jeff,

I understand that your old doctor can not treat you anymore due to new policies surrounding where the patient resides.

However, what confuses me is that your old doctor did not provide you with a referral to a doctor in your area. That is really unusual. Were you on bad terms?

The best way to get a referral is not through a chat board, but rather through your primary care physician or a specialist familiar with your medical record.

Good luck!

Kaylee, Read closely, people are looking for a doctor who will treat them with the medication that they want. Most doctors want to treat the patient with what they feel the patient needs, not the patient practicing medicine.
Most of the people are asking to do whatever has worked for them in the past, not looking to try out new pain management, that the doctor may feel is effective.

Kaylee,
Hope it didn't sound as if I was judging people, cause I'm not. I'm a chronically ill person who, as part of my pain management program, has been prescribed narcotics. When my doctor retired, I went through a totally crazy time finding a new doctor.
One of the doctors I saw prescribed Celebrex, Cymbalta and Lyrica for pain treatment. I was as the time already taking Cymbalta, and was having horrible side effects, she didn't listen and increased that dosage. Celebrex isn't for people who have any heart issues, which I do, guess she didn't read my chart, except to decide that the clinic was prescribing too many narcotics and she "was putting a stop to that". I can't take Lyrica either. I'm not even sure what Lyrica is suppose to do for anyone, it's been remarketed for so many uses, and no one reports it helping with anything that it's been used for. I was in terrible condition within days of beginning treatment with her. I was crying and couldn't stop. I was in horrible pain and she didn't care. Completely unable to function and couldn't sleep either.
Lucky, I have a friend who was able to get me into my current doctor. I've been seeing him for a little over a year now, and have actually made progress with my physical condition, not just managing pain. There are some of the pain management programs that do exactly that, manage pain. I feel much better with this doctor, because he didn't just give up on me. We work with improving me as many small ways as we can, along with managing my pain so that I can function.
I feel for everyone who has lost their trusted and loved doctor, because of a move, retirement, replacement, or for whatever reason.

I must have the best darn Doctor? This afternoon my Doc gave me 360 Soma, 120 x 3. I even had him lower my Xanax dose yet I don't care because I have many spares. The funny thing is he never used to like prescribing both of these, then the laws changed and I also got hit by a Truck. You would think it would be even harder to get Soma?

I have had neck surgery and many other issues that require pain meds. I have been on them for many years, I am allergic to the injections. I am new to the area and can't seem to find a pain management Dr. that will even make an appointment to see me. I get that there are many addicts seeking meds recreationally. I am not one of them. Some of us actually have real issues that require something to help us be able to function in a semi normal way without pain! Never had this problem before, so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I am on disability so I have Medicare and Medicaid as well. I just need a Dr. in Indianapolis. Please someone help me out here. Thank you!

Looking for a narcotics pain mgmt doctor in Indianapolis for my mildly intellectually challenged son who has severe headaches from 20+ shunt revisions, has many back issues, including compression fractures, but nothing a neurosurgeon can fix and steroid injections don’t help. Dilaudid is the only med that helps, but doc won’t or can’t prescribe any longer. He’s so miserable he wants to be put into a medically induced coma for relief. We need help!

Dr. Lydia Ferrell, she is in the same building as Dr. Mimms, but he isn't accepting new patients at this time. She can be reached at: 317-781-0067. She will only prescribe 4 a day which is 1 less than I was taking of the Norco 10-325, but I am doing the best as I can with it. Better than none. And yes they do urine testing.
