Disabled In Mn Needs Help

Updated

Im 100% disabled. I was forced to switch doctors at the VA and my new doc says that only a person who has cancer should get pain meds, how ignorant. I know of a dr. Cohen (he's out of buisness. The pain relief centers wont see me because I had a dwi 3 yrs ago. Does anyone know where else to look in Mn?? If not Mn how about a nearby state. I heard there were a couple of compassionate docs in Milwaulkee area but I lost tract of there names?? I heard Fl is a bust???

I am not sure what having a DWI has to do with getting medical treatment, the doctor's wouldn't even know you were charged with one, if you didn't tell them. If you were injured in an accident, it should be in your medical records as just a car accident.

The best suggestion I can make is to demand to see a different doctor if the one you're currently seeing has such an attitude. There are many other medical conditions that cause someone to need pain treatment.

Does anyone else have any advice to offer or a doctor they can suggest?

Is there any way you can see a different doctor there?

Why did you have to switch to a new one?

It's unlike the VA to not provide pain relief for a disable veteran.

What types of pain medications were you taking?
