Pain Management Colorado Springs

I am looking into changing pain management doctors. I've been on pain management over 8 yrs. My original one stopped doing pain mgmt last year & it took forever to find one to take my case. Now, i'm starting to question him & would like to know if anyone has any recommendations. I'm taking 40MG of OXYCODONE a day & 100MCG Fentanyl patch, plus Methocarbamol. Those are the "main" ones. Any help would be really appreciated! ## Pow dr dropped me over a U/A for alcohol. I'm so tired of the war over meds or medical marijuana. I just got rocked by my dr. Now I'm in search of a new dr who may help in Colorado Springs; even a cash dr till my referral from my primary care dr gets into the system.

I'm 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. Technically, any doctor can prescribe it for pain, however, due to the regulations that were put in place last year, you'll need to see a pain management specialist if you require it on a long-term ongoing basis. Do you have a PCP that could refer you to someone? That would be the fast and easy way to get the help you need. Does anyone know of good doctors in that area? ## Meds Chat Discussion Hi, I am new here to Colorado Springs and have a s...

'm just out of the army and was a little too close to a mortar explosion in afghan. Since ive gotten out ive found it hard to find a doctor to write me prescriptions for pain meds. Im not talking about 30 mg oxy 15 mg would work I think. Does anyone know a doc in colorado springs that will do that ## I may not have a personal doctor I can refer you to, but I did come across a few listings for pain management specialists in the Colorado Springs area who have gotten good reviews. I'd consider calling them up to see if they are accepting new patients.
