Need Help Finding Doctor To Prescribe Either Oxycodone Vicodin Or Methadone 10mg For My Chronic Pain (Page 21)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I have been suffering from chronic pain for 7 years and have always been on and off pain meds from tylenol 3 to 90mg methadone at the worst of any ever taken. I decided to dose down & get off of methadone as I did not care for the "clinic" enviroment per say as I was using more for pain then for addicition. I found a dr that prescribed me the pain meds for breakthrough pain and the pill form of methadone 10mg was what I chose but now he is gone as he lost his license which sucks for me because NO ONE will give me anything, not even the methadone unless I go back to the stupid clinc and I so don't want that... DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A DR. that would prescribe anything or just something to get me through life with less pain? I am in the twin cities of Minnesota and I will drive if need be.

I have two bulging discs in my lower back. I am having a problem finding a doctor in Houston Texas. They always prescribe Ultram. It makes me feel sick. The only thing that has really helped my back pain is Norco but, I have not founrd a doctor lately who will prescribe it. I don't want to have surgery that was recommended. Everybody I know that has regrets it. Does anybody know a good doctor to help me with my situation?

What are you doing here might I ask? Pain management doctors give epidurals and E. M. G. and try to help us along with pain medication if necessary. My wonderful PCP has no idea who to refer me to. He has said our area is in trouble and that most of our pain physicians have bad reputations. Tried Yelp and I found this to be true.

You remind me of the cold uncaring doctors these people are running away from and doctors do retire and people do move. You should go and do something worthwhile.

Medford, Oregon has a methadone clinic. Just an idea. For a lot it's actually free, reduced or covered on the state insurance. It does help with pain. They start you on liquid.

I have had severe chronic pain since 2008 after a semi trailer hit me in a little S10 pickup. I have suffered from a head injury from ear to ear, I have some vertebra messed up in my neck and my lower back is unbearable at times and I have a pain that feels like a horse kicks me under need my right butt cheek and it radiates severe pain down my right leg the only thing ive ever been able to get any pain relief from are the 30mg oxycodone, and somas for my horse kick so to speak. I just moved here and am having a heck of a time finding a good helpful Doctor. I will take any kind of advice I can get. This is making me very depressed and my life now is very nonexistent due to know pain Dr. Please someone help me! I am having an extremely hard time just living life

unfortunately to go to a clinic it is very very rare for a doctor to prescribe methadone and the subutex strips, so now there's nothing but clinics with people with no goals and abuse benzos. although the clinic I went to was very nice private and understanding, that was for people with goals to get off of it and live a clean sober life which was awesome to be surrounded by people with one goal to get clean and to taper down and then free from liquid handcuffs. I must say it was the hardest drug I've ever had to come off of. 110 days of pure withdrawal and even then I was just starting to feel OK, Devils drug. DEA need to take a hard look at this drug. you're going from a pill form opiate to a synthetic opiate with a opiate blocker, I wish somebody would tell me where that makes sense. drug to drug you're not accomplishing nothing unless you work the program for one year, taper up, get clean, taper off, live life. heed line warning it was the worst experience of my life. How its legal will never make sense to me. they might as well make methamphetamine legal or any illicit drugs. I'm done before you do it. do your research and know what you're getting into.

Oops....I meant to type IV not VI for the TRAMADOL schedule! Sorry for the typo!

Sorry, Faye, but TRAMADOL is a schedule VI not III. Look it up. It was also put on the controlled substance schedule list in August 2014, not October. Hydrocodone was put on schedule II October 6,2014. Did you even research this info before posting it? Just curious.

Kev, I know you wrote this about 10 months ago but I had to comment on your, " if the doc retired or closed their office you would have been referred somewhere." That is SO not true. I live in Minnesota, am a nurse in same state and I can tell you that if your MD leaves for ANY reason you don't usually get a referral to another doctor/clinic....especially when chronic pain is involved. It happened to my 70 year old, 100% disabled mother with chronic illness.....chronic pain being one of them.....and she never got a referral to anyone! They do not treat CP patients with the same respect or dignity as they do other patients. It makes me sick! I am a nurse, working in this field, and I am appalled at the way CP patients are treated! It's cruel punishment because of the others who want the meds for recreational use. I did find my mother a wonderful doctor......no thanks to any part of the healthcare system! Anyway, this was just an FYI. Some people are actually looking for docs to prescribe SPECIFIC meds because after many months or years of trying they finally have been put on something that works. I can understand that, can't you? The search for what will work for you is a long, exhausting, torturous process for many! And yes, there ARE some who are just looking for an easy score. But, I don't know these people and therefore am not going to judge addict or not.

As of October 6th 2014, tramadol was added to the schedule III, controlled substance list of drugs by the FDA. So it is not easy to obtain. It came out in 1977 and the FDA has been trying to get it on the list of controlled substances ever since. They finally succeeded. It can give you opiate effects if you abuse this drug ( take more than the highest recommended
Dose. This is why it got changed; due to the abuse and deaths due to over using this drug. It sucks for all of us that really need it for chronic pain!! Just don't over use any of the opiates. Only use the amount being prescribed to you!!!

Amy/Trixie -

Please be careful with that. It could lead to trouble. I'm a methadone patient from a clinic with take homes and that's the kind of crap that WILL get you in DEEP s***, both in and out of the clinic. I know there are plenty of people who do it, but why risk your freedom, being back in pain, being blacklisted, or worse?

Hello,

I was referred to a pain management clinic in Edina Minnesota as that is the clinic my internist~went to so I thought if it is good enough for him, it should be good enough for ME. The name of it is Twin Cities Pain Clinic (Dr. Will), & it is VERY good. They really helped me with my chronic pain & at times I rcvd. trigger point injections which didn't hurt. Give them a try. You will probably have to go there once every month to rcv. your meds., & or injections IF you need them Dr. Will is also VERY good at epidurals~didn't feel only a little poke. I miss him as I now live in another state!
