Doctors Who Will Prescribe Pain Medication Rhode Island

I am looking for an MD or Pain clinic that will prescribe pain medication in Rhode Island. I have 4 herniated discs, nerve damage in my leg, severe migraines. My former Md said that he could not longer prescribe due to the regulations, I dont want to have to move, that would be crazy to have to go through that, but I also do not want to continue living night and day in Agony, with not one Md that has any compassion, it seems all they care about is to look out for themselves, I only take 2 pain medications that I believe are both in class 1, but when you talk to a doctor about pain, they tell you to take tylenol.

ln pain since my colonoscopy (don't do it...) The instruments are unable to be completely sterilized which left me in a horror. I am from RI, so if anyone knows a doctor who WILL prescribe oxycodone and Fentanyl patch I would appreciate the info. I was ill and missed an appt. with my PCP. He hates me and it is really bad.

In 2006 i broke my neck and was paralized from the neck down, 10 days later had spinal surgery and luckily my paralisis was able to be reversed.i was prescribed methadone FOR PAIN RELIEF. When my script ran out i went to my doctor only to find out he dosn`t deal with methadone prescriptions,was told to go back to surgeon who initially prescribed it and was told he couldnt help me because he was only my surgeon not my primary. I was given vicodin for next couple of years which never helped me with the pain i suffer with consantly from my accident.

I have been on Fiorinal w Codeine and Fioricet as well as Valium for Sleep. I have 3 herniated disks in my back, Scloroisis, Nerve Damage in my left leg and Chronic Migraines. No Doctors in Rhode Island will any longer prescribe medication, if they do it is only one medication, I used to get all 3 of my medications for these problems from one Doctor who was my primary until he informed me that he could no longer write those. If anyone know's anyone in Rhode Island Please Help! ## Hello Thank you for your reply. I was wondering if this is just in Rhode Island, becuase I am close to the border of Massachusett's. Perhaps I might be able to find a good Family Physician there? My regular Md, just told me to go to see a pain Specialist and that they have alternative ways of managing p...
