I have spinal stenosis, arthritis and 2 herniated discs for which I have had surgery. My current pain med doc won't go any higher then 50mgs of tramadol 3 times a day and that is it. Nothing else prescribed. He says nothing else will help and just go have surgery. I am not looking to take 10 mg of MS or anything. I just need something to help when the pain gets too bad several times a week. The tramadol does not work anymore. Does anyone know of a place in Hampton Roads VA that will help? ## I do not know of a place there. However, if you are willing to drive to Richmond which is seventy miles away, I know a doctor who will treat you with proper medication (better than tramadol and less than MS). ## @Bamagirl -- I have your health ailments and A LOT more. This past Dec 2018, I made ...

I've had physical therapy 4neck surgeries with pin and plates even went so far as having a electric stimulater put in my back. i have tried it all. I have degenerative disc disease and at this point have no life because im in constant pain. arthritis has set in. ive tried over the counter med ultram you name it. docs in my area are afraid to write pain meds like lortab because of the people who have abused these meds. now the ones off us whom truly need it are suffering. ive had it.

I just moved to Fredericksburg/DC Metro area of Virginia from Florida. I have severe chronic spinal pain from bulging lumbar discs, bone spurs, spinal stenosis and scoliosis (in mid/upper spine). My doctor that was treating me in FL had me on 60mg MS Contin 2xday and 10mg Percocet 4xday. Which makes it able for me to function with a lowered amount of pain. I went through 3 other doctors over the years that prescribed too little or too much before I found him. I would like to find a doctor/pain clinic that will prescribe me the same or similar in/around the Fredericksburg/DC Metro area of Virginia as opposed to having to drive back to my Florida doctor every month. Does anyone know of any in these areas?

Plz, does anyone know any drs that prescribe Methadone for pain in Tappahannock or Richmond Va. area? ## Had spinal stenosis surgery, triple lactomactomy and when I came out was way worse. My surgeon said to go to their pain management and get an idea of what they came up with on file for any doctor to see or said to call them and they would help come up with a plan. They had me on methadone and oxycodone. My surgery was in 2009. I tried not to get on methadone. I was nervous. Turned out it worked very well but I'm now living in a state where everyone has a problem abusing or not needing and doctors writing them regardless. This had led to where you now can't get any help. If anyone knows of anyone in Virginia that will look at your records, your surgeon request and pain special...

I live in Virginia. Lynchburg VA 24501 to be exact. I've been on opiates 15+ years now and my doctor is retiring in 3 months. I've got all the MRI's, all my major issues and list's of my meds over these years. I was told I needed pain meds the rest of my life as they can't do operation. I'm on Oxycontin er 30mg 2 a day, 30mg oxycodone ir for breakthrough pain 8 a day, 240 a month. I'll take half of that if I got to as I tried getting off them and almost died, started hallucinations, 14 days of pure hell. In 9 days I went from 140lbs to 98lbs. I had no choice but to get back on them. I got any and everything proving legitimate need for being on meds. I became permanently disabled at age 24. I'm now 39 and I got any and everything a doctor would need to tak...

I am looking for a doctor in virginia who will take self pay patients and who is not against opioid medications. I'm currently on Amatriptalin Tizanidin and Meloxicam (which is killing my stomach due to many years of nsaid). These medications help but they are not enough. I'm in physical therapy and the pain is preventing me any my therapist from being able to progress in my therapy. I live in the Charlottesville area and every doctor has gone complete opioid prohibition. I just need a little more help with my pain so that I can progress in my therapy. I am willing to travel far. If anyone knows of any doctor in Virginia who may be willing to help, please let me know and thank you in advance.

I'm only 30 yet have been fighting with doctors to get something that relieves my daily pain for 8 years. I am not a candidate for surgery YET. I have DDD, protruding discs, herniated discs, and a "turned" pelvis, all from 2 car accidents. No legalities to worry about I just want a doctor that will actually do what they say, like run an MRI, some physical therapy/adjusting, and some prescriptions for pain. I'm not asking for anything too heavy, something like percocet or roxicodone and ultram for breakthrough. ## Hi Supermama, In regards to finding a local pain doctor, I listed below a couple websites specific to locating pain management doctors in a given area.

I have tried every pain med there is. I'm allergic to the slow release meds. What ever is in them that let's them release slow brakes me out in hives. It took almost two years of trying diffrant meds to find the one that works. Now the Rehab center says after about 8 years they will not prescribe my oxycodone anymore.if that's not Bad enough the new doctor only gave me enough to get though for a week are two. I followed everything that was asked of me. And now they say management will not after having me being depended on the meds write for my meds. There should be some type of law againest that. Anyway I need a doctor like yesterday are I'm in for a very rough time. I have arthritis in my shoulders and had five(5) surgeries on them alone not to include knee,hands and di...

I am planning to retire and move from Maryland to South Boston, Virginia. I suffer with chronic back pain for about 10 years. I have had back surgery which only worsened my condition. I have herniated, bulging and protruding discs and my sacrum comes out of alignment on occasion. I have all of my records and x rays for proof. I have a specialist I see in MD on a monthly basis to prescribe the meds I need but am unable to locate a Pain Specialist anywhere close to South Boston or Halifax Virginia. I take Percocet 10/325 as needed and Morphine 30 mg extended release 2 times a day. Also Flexaril 3 times as needed for muscle spasms. This combination has finally made me able to stand and walk to do things I wasn't able to do before without excruciating pain. If I am unable to find a Doctor

I have just lost my pain doctor in Central Virginia that I had for 14 years. I am looking for a good honest doctor that can help me. I am on 15 types of meds for different health issues such as fibromyalgia, chronic back and neck pain, depression, asthma, RSD, diverticulitis and more. Please advise if you know of a good pain management doctor ## Hello, Garfield! How are you? I'm very sorry that you've run into such a problem. Do you have a PCP that you see regularly? If so, they might be able to refer you to a good doctor. Most aren't going to be willing to treat all of your conditions, so you'll likely need to see several specialists. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area?

My wife and i are both in need of a good doc in va that will prescribe what we need to get by every day. We both have mri's x rays and years of issues with spinal pain. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. ## Hello, Floyd! How are you? Due to the new regulations that were put in place by the DEA last year, if you require some type of controlled substances for the long-term ongoing treatment of chronic pain, you'll need to see a pain management specialist. A general practitioner won't be able to help you. Do either of you have a PCP that you see regularly who might be able to refer you to someone? If so, that might be the quickest and easiest way to find the help you need. Can anyone recommend a good doctor in that area?

In cases such as yours, the best advice I can give anyone is to not try asking for any specific medications, when you see a new doctor. It is best to let your medical records a...

Hello. I'm 29, a mother of two with Crohn's disease, and a former soldier. Last thing we tried is a Morphine pump at 0.4998 a day and not even that is helping the pain. I don't know why my body just not reacting and life is been especially miserable. I found a pain management doctor in the other side of Virginia and even when I explain the morphine pump is not helping they blew me off. At this point my pcm is compassionate enough to help me out with steroids and other stuff for pain but I feel like I'm broken or something. Now I live in Richmond, VA and I would like to find a doctor that can understand my pain and just help me to have a better lifetime. I want to be able to deal with my kids, which now is pretty much impossible. I feel like I'm alone and some doctors...

I am in severe pain with carpal tunnel in both hands. I have been trying to find a pain management doctor in Virginia who is willing to prescribe oxycodone 30 mg. That's what works for me. I hate the way they look at you like you're just seeking drugs when I only want to be able to function like a normal human being again. Can anyone please help me? ## I'm sorry that you're having such problems, Janea. However, if you go in or call them asking to be prescribed a certain medication, they are most likely going to view it as drug seeking behavior. It's what doctor's are taught in medical school and it's what they teach their staff. The best thing you can do is to set up an appointment with a new doctor, without asking them ahead of time if they'll prescribe ...
