Portland Pain Dr

I was on a contract with my family dr for over 4yrs he retired and his replacament doesnt believe in them ive tried every thing possible and meds are the only thing thwt has helped I was born disabled and its in my bones and only will be getting worses ## I'm sorry you are in pain. The state I live in is just as bad. I hate to say it but we as a patient have to get a pain management physician. You will also have to have a strict contract with him or her. Unfortunately, pain physicians are being overwhelmed because family physicians will no longer prescribe for anyone. Unless you are lucky enough to find one who does. It took me over 20 years to find a pain physician. My spine is shot but they didn't care. I will warn you though, pain management is expensive. Its well worth it if...

I WANT TO KNOW HOW CAN A PAIN CLINIC WHERE I AND OTHERS HAD CONTRACTS JUST DROP US AS PATIENTS OVER NIGHT WITH A 30 DAY FILL AND NO SUPPORT. IT TAKES TIME TO GET IN PAIN MANAGEMENT. YOU NEED REFERRAL, RECORDS, ETC. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM OUT OF PAIN MEDS SOON AND MY PRIMARY SAYS SHE IS LIMITED IN ABILITY BUT NOS THE SITUATION BUT IS NOT EVEN WILLING TO FILL ALL MY MEDS UNTIL I GET IN SOMEWHERE ELSE. HOW CAN I FIND SOMEONE IN PORTLAND, OR AREA OR VANCOUVER THAT CAN GET ME IN FAST AND WILL PRESCRIBE OPIATE PAIN MEDS? I AM GETTING READY TO HAVE A COLOSTOMY AND WONT DO IT WITHOUT PAIN MANG. ON BOARD. FROM PAST EXPERIENCE MOST DOCS WONT UP OR KNOW HOW TO TREAT PAIN MANG. PATIENTS AND WONT GIVE ADDITIONAL MED AFTER SURGERY, LEAVING US TO SUFFER MORE AND MORE RISKS. SORRY THERE ARE SOME THAT SE...

suffering from cronic headaches and neck pain due to a variety of events ## looking for a new dr. who will be willing to give me the same meds as I was taking before I moved here, they are narcotics that I take on a regualar basis for headaches and neck pain, hydro codone 10 to be exact, where I came from it is tough to find a dr. who will help you, how will I start over in Portland to find a helpful Dr.? ## I'd suggest looking for someone that specializes in pain management and making sure that they get a full copy of your medical records from your prior doctor. In many cases, if you go in asking for a specific medication they will see it as drug seeking behavior, but they can see what works for you as documented by other physicians, they are more likely to prescribe accordingly.

I am a long time pain suffering patient that still needs to work. And pay a lot for opana. What Pharmacies in Portland carry Generic Opana ? Actavis brand or other?. Someone please help. I'm currently experiencing severe sciatic pain and knee pain. ## I'm sorry, but there is no listing of pharmacies according to what they do or do not have in stock that I can refer to for you. Since this is a controlled substances that is very commonly abused, the only way to get an accurate answer would be to go into the pharmacies, with your prescription in hand and ask them if they carry the generic. 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 c...

I dont have insurance so i cant afford the expensive pain management clinics here. I need a doctor who will write my rx for 20mg oxycodone or other things i need without the usual uptight doctor response of "only once, go to pain management". I've had 34 ortho surgeries and have constant mind bending pain. I take as directed. Just need what used to be known as a "dr. feelgood". Portland, Oregon ## Unfortunately, no one can really know ahead of time what a doctor is or is not willing to prescribe, as that is based on the doctor's discretion and not just on someone else's previous appointment (especially since many doctor's are now worried about losing their licensing for prescribing too many narcotics). Some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask...

I am looking for a list of Suboxone providers in the Portland Oregon area that accept Medicare as payment. Suboxone for Pain Management specifically. ## There is no specific list of doctors that prescribe it for pain management, because actually any doctor can prescribe it for that, just like Methadone. The specialty lists are just for those that need it for addiction treatment. Learn more Suboxone details here. However, the problem you may run into is if you are contacting doctors and wanting them to prescribe a specific medication, because most doctors will consider that drug seeking behavior. The best thing you can do is find a pain management specialist that accepts your Medicare and make sure that they get a full copy of your medical records. If they see what has and hasn't wor...

Everyone who is on pain medicine for chronic pain, we need to do something about our medicine being cut to almost NOTHING due to all the people that abuse and combine other drugs and end up overdosing. The ones of us that do not abuse our drugs, we need them to have some quality of life is slowly being stripped from us. We need to get together and find out whom to get in touch with, because WE are being punished for the other's that are abusing them! I could go on an on an get madder an madder, I won't. Does anyone know who to contact? We shouldn't have to suffer because of others abuse!! ## Is there anyone out there live in the portland, oregon area know of a doctor that isn't going by these guidelines of 90 to 120mg max. Of pain meds, which includes both immediate rele...

Trying to find a dr. in portland, oregon. ive had chronic pain for over 10 years and my medical wont cover anymore. The pain is unbearable now and I need several surgeries to not be in pain including 2 back surgeries. If someone could please help me find a good DR. that isnt under someones thumb that would really help. thank you ## Hello, Trish! How are you? I am very sorry about the problems you are dealing with, being in pain is horrible. However, if your medical insurance will no longer cover it, that is not going to change, even if you see a different doctor. I mean a doctor can request authorization, but they can't force your insurance to cover anything. Additionally, all doctors are under the 'thumb' of the government, if they are thought to prescribe medications inapp...

My doctor retired. Looking for Dr. or DO in Portland Maine area to treat chronic pain. ## Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you'll need to see a pain management specialist for long-term ongoing treatment of chronic pain. Have you found a new PCP, yet? Having one that can refer you to someone would likely be the easiest way to get the help you need. 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. Does anyone else know of a good doctor in that area?

I have been going to a methadone clinic for 7 years i have m\s and it works great for my pain but its 88 miles from my house and the drive is becoming too much. Im looking for a doctor that will percribe me methadone for my pain in the state or maine. Or a pain clinuc that is methadone friendly. ## Isnt there a Clinic on Brighton Ave in Portland? I took a now deceased neighbor to it. I believe the clinic owner may have recently passed away, but its still open ## Hello, Erika! How are you? I'm afraid that a clinic is your only option, at this time. Due to the way the laws are, regardless of why you were taking it, the fact that you went to an addiction treatment clinic is in your medical records, so a private practice doctor or pain clinic won't be able to prescribe it for you. T...
