Doctor In Richmond Va Who Will Prescribe Opiates For Severe Chronic Pain

Updated

I have moderate to severe Degenerative Disc Disease of Cervical Spine with severe narrowing (stenosis) along with bulging and herniated discs with severe arthritis (osteo) also in cervical spine with boney spurs. I also have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome ad Chronic Fatigue. My pain management doc has done many different procedures, non giving much relief and no long term relief. She has told me there is nothing more she can do. So, I need a Primary Care Doctor who will take over writing my Morphine and Muscle Relaxer. My current Primary Care doctor said she trusted me totally but could not write RX for opiates. I need help. I will not be able to function without some pain meds. I live in Gen Allen, a Richmond, VA suburb. Please helpp. Thank you.

Hello, Katharine! Sorry that you're so miserable, it's terrible for anyone to have to suffer.

However, under the new regulations that were enacted this year, no PCP is going to be able to prescribe you opiates for long-term chronic pain. They have been severely restricted on what they can prescribed, how much they can prescribe, why they can prescribe it and for how long they can prescribe it.

In order to continue getting them you'll need to have them prescribed from a pain management specialist.

Learn more Morphine details here.

Is there a different pain management specialist that your PCP can refer you to?

Have been on opiates for 18 years for incredibly painful IBS and probably Chrons disease (it's been a while since I had a colonoscopy, but there is a Chrons blood panel now, and my number is off the charts). Have been seeing doc for 14 yrs-prescribes 240 30mg oxy and 6 10 mg methadone. But due to the incredible tolerance, it isn't even close to stopping pain.

Hi,

I just read your post about chronic pain. I am in Richmond VA, and I'm in serious need of a doctor willing to trust me and prescribe opiates. Did your post lead to any names of doctors from others? I am desperate.

Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

K.D.

Re: Mike (# 2) Expand Referenced Message

Has anyone replied here to this question? I'm literally going to go into foreclosure on my house if I don't find a good decent fair pain dr... I have been on my meds for 16 years and the ones out here in VA beach that prescribe demand insurance. This is crazy scary. I'm even willing to drive to Richmond so I can work and continue to support myself my kids and keep my house. God bless you guys. This is horrible for us legit people that play by the rules... Again good luck all of you. Please help!! I truly don't want to drive all the way out there and wind up with a horrible team of rude people... Drug panels and the rules are fine. I'm also hoping it's a 2 month cycle and not every 25 days for appts but that part no one can control. I understand. Thanks! Help please!

I sure do know where you're coming from. I have had 18 surgeries since 2009 and just went through one that left me with a nurse coming out three days a week and I really need a good doctor. If you can help please let me know.

Re: Cherry (# 127) Expand Referenced Message

Hi Cherry. Can you tell me if Dr. Gu was a success? My pm dr has left the area and now I'm desperate. I recently saw Dr. Holland at National Spine and Pain but he was not helpful. Would not write for Oxycodone and increased my gabapentin and prescribed a muscle relaxer and told me that if I did not get off the pain meds surgery would not help me. Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: ALSFighter (# 101) Expand Referenced Message

Hi, I am hoping you can give me your pm dr's info. I am suffering from ddd, 2 bulging disk, stenosis, arthritis. This starts at my C2 and continues down to C7. My left side is more severe than the right. I am in chronic pain and have a referral for pm. I have had 2 shots, that did not help and have tried pt numerous of times. My last dr had me on Oxycodone 15mg 4x a day as well as gabapentin 300mg. He no longer takes my insurance and I can not afford the office visits and the time off from work to travel to him. I just ran out of my meds and have not had any luck finding a new pm dr that will continue to help me. I thank you in advance for your help.

Re: Mike (# 2) Expand Referenced Message

Hi Mike. I am in great need of pain management as you are. If I may ask, do u know of and/or would you provide me with the names of doctors who r willing to prescribe oxycodone? From what I understand there are doctors in Richmond in which payment for the initial appointment is required and then a monthly amount every month thereafter. I am particularly interested in these doctors. I appreciate your time and look forward to All of those feelings and feeling safe is heightened when we r on the phone. It's like you're right next to me. I pray that you be blessed the means of managing your pain.
