How are you? I am very sorry that you're in pain. Unfortunately, there is no listing of doctors according to what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. Do you currently have a PCP? If so, then having them refer you to someone would likely be the easiest way of finding the help you need. And what is your general location? That may make it easier for individuals to make recommendations.

Are the current ones still helping your pain? Have you been abusing them, at all? Learn more Vicodin details here. Has someone told you that you need to stop taking them? There are many factors that can play a role here, so I need some more information in order to provide any answers.

Find walk in Pain Clinic open on Saturdays in Georgia ## Did you find a place? I am not sure there are any pain clinics that just have walk-in hours. Most of them want fully established patient relationships, due to the nature of the medications prescribed. Learn more pain management details here. If you're in severe pain, the best thing you can probably do is go to your nearest ER for assistance.

I'm 25y/o suffering from lupus and herniated disks up my neck. I can't live with this pain anymore. Oxycodone seems to be the only thing that helps, but I don't know of a doctor that prescribes it. Anyone know of any docs or how I could get in to see a doc? I just don't want to be in pain anymore! I live in the Pinellas County area of FL, so counties near here would be best. Thank you for your support and help! ## Even if you do find a doctor that will prescribe it, getting it filled anywhere in Florida right now is liable to be very difficult. There have been many posts about the issue, many pharmacies are either no longer carrying it, or are refusing to fill prescriptions for it. What other medications have you tried?

Im 29, and I think I may have done damage to my liver. Im scared. I have developed a physical and mental addiction to opiates that has spun beyond what I could have ever imagined. I am in a position now where I have no one to turn to, as confiding in anyone other than my homeboy could result in losing everything I have worked so hard for. And I can't get enough consecutive days off to go to rehab. And I am drowning in this addiction. About two years ago I had surgery twice in one year. The cause for the surgery was a painful cyst internally. That's where I got my first script for percocet. Then another. Then one more. Then surgery, and the most effective narcotic pain relievers insurance could buy. Then a few more rounds for the postop pain. I was scheduled to b assessed months ...

I quit trying to get help in Arkansas and haven't tried going any where else because doctors seem like they are afraid to prescribe anything . I have Psoriasis on every joint, stomache area and behind the ears as well as pain in all of my joints where I have the Psoriasis. I have tried using online doctors but that is just so expensive. I have used hydrocodone and it take about 40 mg to get relieve that last for about 6 hours and same withe percocet. I had a friend let me try his hydromorphone(diluadid) and 4mg of that seem to work better and last longer but I don't know of any doctor especially in Arkansas that will prescribe it. I really want to get to the root of the problem and only have to take something when it flares up or gets bad but I am willing to drive to any surroun...

What are the people with chronic pain going to do now that Drs will not prescribe pain meds they need and are in legitimate pain? Drs think you are a drug seeker if you ask for lortab even thought you really are in pain. What is going to happen to these people. Pain can cause other things such as high blood pressure and depression yet most Drs will not treat their pain because of all the drug seekers. What can be done about this. There has tobe a solution. The Physician's Oath says"First do no harm" But when they let someone in real pain walk out the door with no pain meds they in my mind are doing harm. There has to be a way to work this out so that people in real pain will be treated so they can have a quality of life. When you are in real pain you have no quality of life....

what does anyone know of pain pumps and what drs in new jersey use them ## There is no listing of doctors that use them. They are really only used in cases of severe pain, where someone either can't take oral medications, or they have exhausted other pain control options. Learn more pain amanagement details here. So, it's really not something that you can just walk into a doctor and ask for, they are last resort types of treatments.

My husband got 2 teeth broken down to gum. He was in so much pain he went diving through medicine cabinet found old darvocet from 1997 took 2 of them. I'm freaking out since I saw date on them. Will these hurt him should I take him to hospital have his stomach pumped? Help im scared! ## No, they don't turn into anything toxic, once they're expired. They just start to lose efficacy, so they don't work as well as they would have when they were new. The best thing to do is to keep a close eye on him. This medication was pulled from the market by the FDA a few years ago, because they do create a risk of cardiac dangers, though it's usually only temporary, while someone is being treated with them. So, if he starts to experience an erratic heart beat, or anything, then he...
