Houston Pain Management

I need a pain doctor in Houston that will treat me as my last doctor did. I was prescribed up to 8 transformation a day as well as 3600mg nuerontin with 2 5omg finnigan (so) a day. Can you help me with this, I Have No insurance so really cannot afford the doctor referral process. ## Hello, Liddybit! How are you? Unfortunately, there is no way to know if any given doctor is going to continue your existing treatment protocol, or not. The only thing you can really do is set up an appointment with one and then see what they offer for treatment, but make sure they receive a full copy of your current medical records. And while I know it's expensive, getting a referral is most likely the only way you're going to be able to get in somewhere to get the help you need. Can anyone suggest a...

CAme here from florida got pain killers for my leg need to find a doctor here who isnt paranoid of a dea shutdown ## Hi, Matt! How are you? Unfortunately, they all have to be paranoid about that. New regulations were put into effect this year and any doctor that doesn't abide by them risks losing his license to practice medicine. Your best bet would be to establish a relationship in your new location, with a PCP, then have them refer you to a pain management specialist. Do you have a PCP, yet? ## Matt, did you ever find one? I am in Beaumont, and I too need to find a doc not afraid of narcotics. Moved here from Austin, and have a hard time finding a good doctor of nearly any kind.

need to find a Doctor that will prescibe oxycodone / I recently got an MRI but can not afford the surgery right now / have been precribed Norco but after 6 years I have built a tolerance and they are no longer effective ## Hi Silver, In regards to finding a local pain doctor, I have listed below a couple websites specific to locating pain management doctors in a given area. All you have to do is input your city or zip code for narrowed results: {link removed because site no longer exists} You can give this other page a try too if you come up with different results for some reason or another: wellness.com/find/pain%20management%20specialist Many of the results you find (in one or both of the links above) also list a phone number for that specific doctor; I'd consider calling up a num...

Doctors thar accept medicaid in houston, tx area that prescribe oxy and morphine ## Do they really accept Medicaid? ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? I'm sorry, but there is no listing of doctors according to what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. And due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require such medications on a long-term, ongoing basis, you'll need to see a specialist. Do you currently have a PCP that may be able to refer you to someone? If so, that would most likely be the easiest way to find the help you need. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area? ## There are no new regulations that state you must see a Pain Management Dr for chronic pain. Although it may be very difficult to find a pcp who will treat a new p...

I have Lupus, joint pain, chronic back pain I've just moved to the area and have been being treated prior by a pain management specialist who has me on 15 MG Oxycontin time release and 7.5 MG Percot for break through pain. I need to continue my meds for pain , however with all I've been reading about this area and Texas, (of which I love ), it seems no doctors are prescribing? I need help to find a great pain doctor like I had in my previous state. Can anyone help? No I'm not a drug seeker, just a Lupus patient in pain....I do not misuse any medication or do any illegal types of drugs. Thank You in andvance. ## There were a lot of pill mills in Houston that were shut down, yes. And while I don't know a specific doctor to recommend you, I've become familiar with the c...

Just moved need pain mgmt. doctor who takes cash and walkins ## Hello, NewHere! How are you? I'm sorry, but due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you're not going to find a walk-in pain management clinic, anymore. They are strictly monitored by the government, now. Most will even balk if you're paying cash, because it makes it easier for someone to doctor and pharmacy hop. The easiest way to find the help you need would be to set yourself up with a PCP and then have them refer you to someone. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area?

I have been on Hydrocodone for 12 yrs.now and it just isn't strong enough to kill the pain any more. My pain management doctor does not have the credentials to even prescribe a schedule III, such as Oxycodone or Morphine. I have a fractured tailbone that never healed properly and experience severe muscle and nerve pain in the lower back shooting down my leg every day. I only want to be able to function. It is a fight just to get out of bed. If any one knows of a pain clinic or dr. that can help in Houston, TX who accepts new patients and cash (no insurance) please email me xxxxx@xxx {edited for privacy}. Thank you ## Are you seeing a nurse practitioner or physicians assistant then? Any registered doctor that has their license can prescribe them. Learn more pain management details he...

Pain clinics with same day appointments in Houston Texas? ## Hello, Jartan555! How are you? Such clinics/doctors no longer exist. There was far too much over prescribing and improper prescribing. Now, in order to be treated for pain on a long-term ongoing basis, one must see a pain management specialist. If you are in pain and require short-term relief, until you can do so, a nearby ER would be your best bet. Is there anything else I can help with? ## you ever find one in Houston? I know this post is a bit dated but it couldn't hurt to ask ## Yes someone please help because I have been given no other choice but to look for these so called pill mills because ive been flagged. I have lupus spina bifida. I've had a neck surgery recently and I've also moved out of houston and to...

Hi everyone, I'm gonna make this short and sweet. I had lower back issues, then I had surgery and now the pain is worse. I need a MD/PA that will help me with pain and prescribe Norco, Xanax, and Soma. If you know any in Houston and surrounding areas, please respond. ## Those are 3 drugs which are very hard to obtain. Why not look into a pain clinic in the area? ## That's where the long story comes in. I have been to 3 pain management specialist. All required physical therapy, epidural corticosteroid injection, facet injections and two of the the 3 required rhizotomy. Not to mention all the x -rays/ MRIs and diagnostics that I have taken so many times. Then you have to wait for the doctors schedule to get relief. All that being said here is one example: I went in to one doctor w...

Hydrocodone of any form is impossible for me to find and I know I'm not the only person since the law changed. But it has to be somewhere?? Does anyone know a way to get it in Houston? ## Hello, Emily! How are you? If you require such a medication on a long-term ongoing basis for the treatment of pain, you'll need to see a pain management specialist. A general practice doctor won't be able to prescribe it for you, due to the new regulations that were set forth by the DEA last year. The FDA lists this medication as 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. Do you currently have a PCP that you see regularly that might be able to refer you to someone? If so, th...

Is there any doctor's in the houston area that prescribe oxycodone if so could someone lead in the direction would be greatly appreciated... ## I'm not familiar with the Houston area or any doctors in that location, however, I did want to let you know that calling around looking for a doctor to prescribe a certain medication will usually end in failure. Most doctors will see it as being drug seeking behavior. The best thing you can do is to see a new doctor and make sure that they receive a full copy of your medical records, so they can see what medications have and have not worked for you in the past.

I'm new to the area and need to find a new family Dr who is willing to take care of my chronic pain. Will be satisfied with lortab or norco. Can anyone help me find a good Dr? ## I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you may run into some difficulties in this endeavor. There are 2 reasons why I'm saying this…. The first is due to the fact that there is a movement underway by the FDA and DEA to try to transition chronic pain sufferers into pain management and away from having their pain treated by general practitioners or surgeons, who haven't been specially trained to treat such pain issues. And going right along with that, due to the risks associated with the use of medications like you mentioned that combine Acetaminophen with Hydrocodone, they are als...

My pain management doctor will no longer practice PM and the doctor he referred his patients to will not take me because he said he was an interventional doc and there isn’t anything he can do for me. I have been taking 20 mg methadone 2x a day and 30 mg oxycodone 3x a day for breakthrough. He obviously didn’t want to take me as a patient due to my meds. I live in Houston but will travel to Dallas, San Antonio, Austin or anywhere within 250 miles. I have been in chronic pain many years. I would be so very greatful for help. I can’t find any doctor in H town that will take over my PM.

I recently moved to Houston and have no idea where to look for a doctor, especially one who will write a prescription for pain medication without making you feel like a drug head. Just like many many other people I have sciatica & a degenerative disc in my back. I can usually tolerate the occasional flair ups with just Motrin but the pain that usually lasts for a day or so has been constant for over a week and Motrin and Tylenol around the clock have not helped at all. Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ## Hi , I myself am new here and found a great doctor at houston pain centers in Sugar Land Texas.

I moved to Houston about a year ago, and had increasing, crippling pain. Had an MRI done, it shows deteriorating discs, and they are also fusing together. I cannot find a doctor who will help me with pain meds. Tramadol is just not cutting it. I have no quality of life ## I am very sorry about the problem that you're having. No one deserves to suffer in pain. However, you may be creating some issues yourself, if you're contacting doctors and asking about them prescribing medications. They are taught to see that as drug seeking behavior, so they will usually not even let you get in the door for an appointment, or if you do make it that far, they will just refuse to prescribe anything. Thus, you need to see a pain management specialist, make sure they get a full copy of your curre...

Hi everyone. I currently suffer from severe chronic pain. I have multiple conditions one of them being chronic renal colic. Another being degeneration of discs in my lower back. I will be moving to Texas next month and need to find a pain management clinic that is compassionate, doesn't treat people like drug seekers when they truly need the help and a doctor who is not super conservative. I need a doctor willing to prescribe any narcotic and prescribes what works for me. Cash only "wellness" clinics are ok for the time being. Informing me of a pain doctor in Fort Worth Dallas Austin Houston or San Antonio is fine. Thanks in advance. ## Were you able to find any specialists to help you with your medication needs? If so, can you please share who? I have a long list of chronic...
