Moving To Knoxville

moving to knoxville in two weeks

Looking for a doc who will prescribe pain meds without too much fuss. I suffer from arthritis, bursitis and sciatica ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. However, the days of doctors being able to prescribe like that are gone. Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require long-term, ongoing treatment for chronic pain, you'll need to see a specialist. The best thing to do would be to set yourself up with a new PCP and then have them refer you to someone. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area?

im moving n need a doctor to write methadone for pain management

I have been on methadone for pain since 2003, moving from md to knoxville and need a doctor ## Hi, Kristi! How are you? The best thing to do, once you're in your new location, would be to find yourself a general practitioner and then have them refer you to a pain management specialist. Under the new regulations, a GP won't be able to prescribe such a medication for long-term pain management. They are restricted in what they can prescribe, why they can prescribe it and for how long they can prescribe it. Learn more Methadone details here. Can anyone recommend a good doctor in the area?
