Find A Doctor Columbia

I have sciatic nerve issues that literally shoot from my hip/back down to my foot. My Dr will only give me an anti-inflammatory with tramadol which does nothing. I need to find a doctor that will give me some relief with pain meds. ## I'm very sorry that you're in pain. What type of doctor have you been seeing? Due to the new directives set forth by the DEA last year, most general practitioners are very reluctant to prescribe controlled substances, anymore. Thus, you'll likely need to see a pain management specialist. Tramadol, however, is classified by the FDA as an opioid now, so it does carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there a chance your current doctor could refer you to ...

Struggled with severe migraines since childhood. Double Visio, nausea, was on imitrex, torodol, topaz, too many yo name. Finally found relief with generic hydro of one, but then decided to manage everything by switching to suboxone. Since the pain factor is not effected one way or another, a friend had mentioned her chronic pain controlled by methadone. Don’t know where in Columbia SC to find a doctor or if this is some place you have to visit everyday. That would be expensive gas and interfere with my career.

My husband and I recently moved to South Carolina & have been desperately trying to locate a good pain specialist/doctor near Columbia, SC. I suffer chronic pain from being stabbed in the stomach from a domestic violence attack many years ago. My spleen, gall bladder, and appendix all had to be removed. My small intestines were completely severed, so a good bit of my intestines had to be removed while a temporary colostomy bag was attached to my stomach. I had to wear the bag for 3 months while the intestines healed and then could thankfully be reattached. My vegus nerve was also severed by the knife, so I now have Gastroparesis, a condition where I can only digest around 30% of the food I eat...the rest comes up in extremely violent puking episodes. I was a mess. Many doctors have sai

I have had over 20 procedures to reconstruct my urinary tract due to bladder mesh erosion. i self cath thru my belly button stoma and my entire spine has either herniated and bulging discs or fused discs and I am in EXCRUCIATING PAIN. My abdomen is the worst tho. I have a "bladder" made from resected bowel, colon and my appendix and I have "knives" and "hot pokers" in my belly 24/7. I need something stronger than a 10 mg oxycodone 4 times a day. My PCP won't do any more because of DEA. He referred me to pain management and they sent note to add a duragesic patch to my treatment plan. PCP refused. WHAT CAN I DO? I'm not a seeker, and don't do recreational drugs. Anyone know of a doc that would help???? ## Your PCP is severely restricted on what they ca...

I'm looking for someone near Columbia, SC. I have been seeing doctors for chronic back problems for years with MRI's etc. I experience routine moderate to severe pain and the only person I have right now to see me quickly and right me prescriptions is my primary care who prefers I go to the specialist and that is what I want. The specialist I have found have been amazingly uncaring and unsympathetic despite ackowledging there are multiple issues. I just saw a neurosurgeon who is referring me to a pain management clinic and I found out it takes 1-2 weeks to see if they will even take your case....absurd and uncompassionate from a pain management facility as far as I'm concerned. Imagine a major flair up......will I have to wait 1-2 weeks to get any relief??? It's ridiculo...

I'm already taking 70mg of methadone in N.C. but I live closer to Columbia and would like to be on the suboxone strips ## You can use the search engine on their website to check and see if there is a doctor in your area that treats with it, Suboxone.com click here. 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?

I recently lost my doctor of 20 yrs. and am now trying to find a doctor who understands pain and is willing to prescribe pain medication ## I just moved to the columbia missouri area and am in search of a doctor. I have a long history and all the reasons in the world to need the relief from pain so I can enjoy life with my kids. I deeply miss my Washington DC pain clinic. Who in Missouri understands this? definitely not Boon County Hospital pain mgmt doc Patel. He is a judgmental person that treats you like a drug addict. plus while you wait for an hour for the almighty doctor to enter you get watch millipedes cross the floor. ## I am 51, have severe osteoporosis with 4 fractured vertebrae in my back. I'm frankly tired of going to local pain mgmt drs here in Ohio and being required ...

Are we sure that bronkaid tablets haven't been taken off the market in some areas? I went to 3 different drug stores today, in Columbus County, North Carolina, to purchase, and there was an empty shelf where they once were. Not even the pharmacists could say whether they had been discontinued. ## Bronkaid is not being carried in drug stores in Columbia city indiana ## Thanks for your kind response. ## Bronkaid was discontinued as of 12/31/11 due to a phase out of these types of medications. Have you tried consulting your doctor about using an alternative medication? ## Actually, we have not. The medicines are for my wife, who has had bouts with asthma her entire life. It seems that once we find something that works, it is discontinued. The physicians advice, I suppose, is always goo...

How are you? I'm sorry, but a clinic is your only option for addiction treatment. It would be illegal for a private practice doctor to prescribe it for you, that can only be done by those specially trained in its use for such.
