Hi... I hate that you felt like you had to back away from this site because of downright ugly people. Sometimes in life we just have to suck it up and move on and ignore them. They're not worth you leaving because if you leave then that means they win. And eventually trolls will take over this site. Wishing you the best. And please come back.

May I ask the name of the Dr you were seeing? I don't think I'm supposed to drop names here but I'd be happy to give you names of those located here. You can very likely do a Google search for pain managers in the area. Why not have your pcp refer you somewhere? You're going to need some kind of referral there's no question of that. They don't make appointments for new patients over the phone without a faxed referral and very likely will request the records come from the referring Dr. Why? They don't trust that the patient hasn't made changes to them!! It's THAT bad. l

Warren66,
I'm sorry to hear of your loss! I typed the following; "doctors prescribing methadone within 50 mile radius of youngstown, oh" into my Google search bar. I found eleven names. Do you have access to a computer? If not I'll happily list them for you. To be honest, I'm alone taking care of a VERY sick & whiny dog that's driving me to distraction to say the least. Let me take care of her and when someone else(namely, my husband)comes home I promise I'll get back to you. I'm in the youngstown area....

Hi Carol! Here's what I found:

1. Meridian Services 527 N Meridian Youngstown 330-797-0070
2. Adil N Jaffer 4308 Belmont Ave Youngstown, 330-759-7038
3. John Vargo, DO 5480 Norquest Blvd Austintown 330-799-8000
4. David Herr, DO 8090 Market St Boardman 330-259-4849

Meridian Services doesn't list a particular Dr as I'm pretty sure that facility has a staff of Docs. The others are either on their own or with a partner etc...I hope you're able to find a place with this list! If not, back to the drawing board! Please let me know how this goes! Take care of yourself Carol!

Keikee, please email [email protected], tell her your story. The more people that reach out to her maybe she will listen. She works for Mike Dewines office. Please keep me posted if you get to her and if she gets back to you. Thanks, this is very important. Actually everyone should email her.

Mark, I just saw your post and can totally 100% relate! I'm 56, a grandmother to 3. I WAS getting relatively good pain control from 1995-2013-14. THEN the Dr I was seeing in Boardman was fired or bought out or something. After that I was seen by a Dr in Akron. One day I went to my appt and was handed a copy of the letter with the CDC/FDA/DEA new "guidelines". The very Dr who'd been prescribing my meds and treating me like an old friend looked at me and said, "you're a drug addict.". I laughed but he wasn't laughing. He told me that starting the next month my meds would be cut in half and the month after that he'd change them to oxycontin followed by a quick tapering of that. I was hysterical. He had the nerve to tell me I couldn't leave his office until I composed myself because he didn't want my husband (who was waiting for me) to think he'd "done something" to me. I couldn't even speak. I'd never failed a drug panel, always compliant. The nurses would tell me how great a patient I was.......since then it's been a nightmare.

Pain patch I meant - not paycheck. Stupid phones. Hi Karen, I live in Ne Ohio and am in need of a pain management Dr. I have RSD, both sciatic nerves are pinches, 5 herniated & bulging disc. Had to get a hysterectomy at 34 because of the pain. I only get 50mg of oxycodone a day and have been on the same dose for 10 yrs, so needless to say I'm tolerant to my medicine. It's been suggested that I get a morphine pump installed. My youngest daughter is 13 & I want to wait until she graduates from high school at least before I entertain that. I am not asking for anything crazy, just to up my medicine some or get a patch with it. Mmj is legal now in Ohio but being on disability (which I got approved for in 28 days because of my disease and mental illness that came with it) I'm afraid to do edibles because I'll fail a drug panel. Plus no Dr's. I know of are even giving affidavits that you qualify for it. My injury happened at work, obwc settled my claim & they also deemed me disabled, so I'm 100% disabled by government and state. I'm just tired of living in constant pain, not being the mom I know I can be or the wife I once was. If you know of any Drs that actually care about trying to make patients comfortable I'd appreciate any info. I have been seeing Dr Stanton-Hicks in Cleveland but he wants the scs which I have heard horror stories about. I use a tens unit multiple times daily on the highest setting & don't feel it. He also mentioned the pump. I'd rather find a medicine regimen that helps some than be all doped up & feel like a worse human being. I get sooo mad that we are getting punished because of the people who just wanted to feel high & now take illicit drugs, because it is messing with normal people's lives. I've lost friends and family to opiates but it's hard to have sympathy anymore. Being on Medicare and having to pay soo much to even see a Dr is crazy. Thank you for reading my rant.

Cfoxy, I'm going to assume you're in Youngstown since this thread is titled as such. Is it your pcp telling you she can't get you into pain management? Was it she who prescribed the norcos? Did you just move to the area? I ask because I'm trying to figure out what happened or how you found yourself without a dr to prescribe your pain medication. Regardless of that I'd avoid tiffany pain aka mahoning pain management unless you're set up to see an actual dr. The pa there is a witch of the first degree.
