Anybody using the rigid boston back brace? ## Hello, Davo! How are you? I wore one for several years when I was younger for scoliosis. However, mine was so severe that it didn't help me, at all. It was just an experimental thing to see if it would work for more severe forms of it. Have you been told to wear one? I found it to be rather uncomfortable and it limited movement quite a bit. ## Since prescribed by my Ortho surgeon and paid for by Workers' Comp, I am sometimes wearing the Boston Overlap Brace in hopes to find out if my L4,5 spinal disc fusion actually fused. Surgery was June 2013. It's uncomfortable and restrictive and if my low back pain decreases or goes away, the fusion didn't take. I'm also taking opiod pain killers and have not decreased their use. ## ...

I have been on Oxycodone 15mg 6X per day for 9 yrs & MS Contin 30mg 2 X per day for maybe 4 yrs. I went for the appt as I do EVERY month & see all kinds of wrong stuff going on, mind my own Business. Ok so patients are coming out all Pissy, Angry & upset. Again I don't say anything but now it's my appt time, well it was scheduled for 9:00AM it was 11:45AM & Dr said he no longer is prescribing any more oxycodone, Percocet, Endocet & even Vicodan! I left with my MS Contin 30MG! Now I'm afraid I will go into withdrawals & suffer a seizure. He said next month he might give me Dilaudid or Fentynal Patch. I'm so confused. Can anyone on this post/page HELP ME PLEASE? ## Hi Karen, I'm sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your doctor. Unf...

Hi Does anyone in the Boston ,Mass area know of any doctors who would perscribe Methadone? Thanks. ## Hi, Donata! How are you? As to Methadone, it depends why it's needed. If it's to treat severe pain, any doctor can prescribe it for that. However, if it's for addiction treatment, then that must be done in a clinical setting by those who are specially trained in its use, it is against the law for a regular doctor to prescribe it for such. Learn more Methadone details here. Can you post back with more details? That will enable people to help you! Thanks!

Hi my name is Sam. I live in the Boston area. I am on a Methadone clinic but I am on it for pain. I am desperate for a doctor who will prescribe Methadone privately or will make a referral to a pain clinic. So far I can't find anyone. I've had a chronic pain issue for twenty years. Thank you so much. ## Hi Sam, I was able to locate quite a few doctors in the Boston, MA area that are known for prescribing Methadone and other related medications. I posted below only 4 of them, because there were too many to choose from; but I can post a larger list if none of these doctors are the right fit for you: Nancy Beth Sobel, M.D. 35 Beacon Street, #5 Boston, MA 2108 (617)680-6476 Michelle J. Sia, D.O. Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology 85 East Concord Street, 6th Floor Boston, MA 211...

My mom is 66. She's been on 20 MG of methadone for 3 yrs for degenerative disc disease, she's also been in a bad car wreck AND hit by a truck while walking across the street (10 yrs ago) so she's got many sources of pain. Her doctor isn't comfortable raising her dosage because of the rigid methadone rules (his words). We are now seeking a new doctor who can help her. We are in Dorchester MA. ## I lost my Doctor she disappeared and I need someone to help me with my methadone treatment. Where can I go? Or where is she going? ## Andrew, Doctors just don't dissapear, Should she reappear I'd highly recommend seeking a competent qualified doc to treat you NO-ONE SHOULD EVER BE LEFT BEHIND without an alternative for the medication she placed you on. I'll post back w...

I have been suffering from a failed patella replacement for 12 years. Tramadol sometimes helps, but the risks for stroke are too high. I was being treated by a doctor in RI but he lost his license. Is there anyone in Boston area who can prescribe vicodin 10/325 legally? ## Well, any doctor can prescribe it legally. The main issues are just why its being prescribed, how much, for how long and etc. Learn more Vicodin details here. With the new regulations and issues on the east coast regarding doctors prescribing improperly and over prescribing, your best bet is going to be with a pain management specialist. Do you have a general practitioner that you see regularly who may be able to refer you somewhere? ## Risk for stroke? That's not an elevated risk with tramadol; no more than any o...

I am planning to retire and move from Maryland to South Boston, Virginia. I suffer with chronic back pain for about 10 years. I have had back surgery which only worsened my condition. I have herniated, bulging and protruding discs and my sacrum comes out of alignment on occasion. I have all of my records and x rays for proof. I have a specialist I see in MD on a monthly basis to prescribe the meds I need but am unable to locate a Pain Specialist anywhere close to South Boston or Halifax Virginia. I take Percocet 10/325 as needed and Morphine 30 mg extended release 2 times a day. Also Flexaril 3 times as needed for muscle spasms. This combination has finally made me able to stand and walk to do things I wasn't able to do before without excruciating pain. If I am unable to find a Doctor

Hi, I have been on methadone for pain for several years. I hate going to the methadone clinic because I am uncomfortable with most of the people using the clinic. I am looking for a private doctor who will prescribe methadone for pain and is south of Boston. Thanks for any help you can provide ## Hello, JT! How are you? If you have been going to a Methadone clinic, then that is going to be noted in your records and even if you weren't going for addiction treatment, a regular doctor won't be able to prescribe it for you. Thus, I'm afraid a clinic is your only option. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## ...

im moving in 30days and I need to guest dose first in washington state for 2 weeks and then me and my daughter will be moving again to hawaii and I need to know can I guest dose there until I transfer there? How long will it take for trandfer to go through? ## Hello, Jennifer! How are you? This is actually going to be up to the individual clinics, though it really shouldn't take long for them to receive your records and do the transfer. However, I would suggest asking those in charge at your clinic, I am sure they'll be able to give you a better idea of the time frame. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there a Dr in the Boston Area? Part of my problem is 2004 I had Gastric Bypass so my absorption rate is off. I only get half of the meds into my system. Lidocaine patch is useless! I need a REAL LEGIT DR not some pill mill. Please any help is appreciated! Thank You So Much! ## Do you currently have a GP that could refer you somewhere? If so, that would likely be the best way to get in to see someone and get help in your area. Due to the new regulations that were put in place as of April 1st, things have gotten really crazy on the east coast and it's very hard for most to get proper pain treatment. As to a medication that may help and not be impeded by your bypass surgery, there is a patch that uses the narcotic Fentanyl, it is time released slowly over a period of 3 days, so it i...

Where can I fill my Florida prescription of 30mg oxycodone in Boston MA? ## I am sorry to say it, but I don't think you're in for an easy task. Due to the difficulties that may be involved with conforming the legitimacy of the prescription and tracking it, most pharmacies will not fill out of state prescriptions. In many areas, they won't even fill them from outside of the county, or immediate area. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Does anyone have any suggestions to make? ## I'm trying to think of more ideas to help you. Is it possible for you to see a local doctor there? Another alternative would be to go to a local ER, where they have to help you if you are in pain/withdrawals. They might at least give you enough of a prescription to get you through until you get ho...

Recently given this medicine and no exaggeration: Within 20 minutes a ate a 450 cal Boston Market TV dinner, ANOTHER in 15 minutes and two White Castle sliders next. I’ve NEVER hit a refrigerator like a Tasmanian Devil before. If there was more food, I’d have eaten it. Oh yeah, there we’re some mozzarella lunch cheese snack, killed those too! EASILY consumed 1,300 calories in LESS than an hour! While the med IS helpful, THAT’S truth! ## Gabapentin has been known to do that to some people, unfortunately. Most medications in this class, that were originally used to treat seizures, carry a warning about possible weight gain. I tried it, for awhile, but it really didn't help my pain, at all, and it was causing a lot of side effects, so I tapered off of it. Ref: M...

Will I get sick from taking 4-12 mg of dilaudid for approx 60 days? I am having a hip finally tomorrow. Thanks ## Hello, Boston59! How are you? It is difficult to say with certainty. It really depends on your own body and how it reacts to withdrawing from a medication like this. For example, when I had my surgery and was taking Oxycodone for a few weeks afterwards, I didn't have a problem stopping it, when no longer needed, but not everyone does well. Have you discussed the issue with your doctor? How often do you take it? This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## If you didn't use it iv. With a needle prolly not if you shot them good luck with hell g...

Hello I have been dealing with pain in my lower back, pinched nerves, broken bones and chronic neck pain. I live in the Boston area and I am just wondering what doctor around here will be understanding about giving pain meds? ## Hello, Jman! How are you doing? I am very sorry that you're in pain. Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you'll need to see a pain management specialist. Do you have a PCP? If so, having them refer you to someone would likely be the fast and easy way to get the help you need. Does anyone know any good doctors in that area?
