Doctors Willing To Prescribe Heavy Pain Medication In Colorado (Page 267)
(Newest replies first)

I have a serious problem. My dr. had two patients start dr. shopping and has decided it is too big of a pain in his butt to continue prescribing, even though I have gotten MRIs and Xrays to prove my problems. I have over a half a dozen herniated discs in my low back, along with degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, scoliosis and arthritis in my facet joints. I am currently on5 30mg oxycodone a day for breakthrough and 60mg of methadone for my long lasting meds. I REALLY need a doctor in the Denver, CO area who will not judge me because of my age, thinking I'm just some drug seeker as I TRULY need my meds to function. I am even being placed on disability until I can get my back healed because if something doesn't change I will be in big time pain for the rest of my life. If ANYONE knows of a good doctor that prescribes strong meds willingly in the Denver area please let me know. I am in desperate need of help as I am going to be SCREWED if I cannot find a good doctor. SOMEONE please help me with a doctor!!!!!

I agree totally with what u said. I just had an appt & also asked about these accusations & was told the same thing u were Mac. They are cutting all the bad patients so they will still be around to treat those of us that are really legit & needing their help. If I hear anything different I will let everyone know. Till then, take care!!

CPR isn't being shut down. They are following ALL the regulations set forth by the DEA. That's why they started discharging people only willing to get oxycodone and no long acting meds, they give drug tests, they don't see you without imaging diagnostics, and I even talked to Dr May and he said the whole reason they are having to write higher XR meds and less breakthrough for chronic pain patients is because the DEA gave them regulations to follow and if they don't follow them they would get shut down. They are not being shut down. They are following the DEA's guidelines and won't just be shut down because some seekers came in. And I find it weird that your "friend" would be shown DEA lists and then you say you saw it. The DEA isn't going to let all the doctors know who they're shutting down, and the doctor sure isn't going to share federal information with a patient who has NO ties to medicine, the government, or any other entity that would have this info. Tammy I would call them and ask like I did. Amanda told me they aren't going anywhere. They were recently given these guidelines by the DEA and they are following them. I have an appt on the 18th. So we'll see if they're shut down. If they are I definitely will need a new doctor and I would really appreciate if Skinny would share that info through email. I have 6 separate back problems all documented.

I started going to CPM because I needed a new pain doc & there is a long wait at the ones I have called. CPM requested all my previous doctor records, MRI scans & wouldn't see me without them. I went there because they fit me in there schedule. It seems like they are on the up & up, they would only give me an ER pain med & 2
breakthrough meds. Same as my previous doc that is very reputible dr. Just find it strange as does Tammy, that they would show u that kind of info? At first u said it was your friend that was shown this info then in the next post u said it was u that saw it? Not calling anyone a liar I just want to know what's going on with CPR because I've had 2 faild spinal fusions & can't function without my meds, especially my ER med. Any info would be awesome! We can talk privately if so. Thanks

My only issue is a mri doesn't show my issue for pain, I had a botch surgery and have chronic pain from that but have tons of medical records to back my chronic pain so would that be a problem with the doctor you have skinnyminny? I didn't think anything bad about dr. May I thought he was doing things by the book? There is form to fill out to get people's email but if you would please let me know who you see that would be great, your dr takes insurance right? Let me know if you will be willing to help me and I will fill the form out so we can talk private. Thanks

Hi. I am new to the denver area, and have pins and needles in my elbow, keeping it together. I am going through ATON of pain, and am in need of a new dr as well, was wondering if anyone had any information, and if so please contact me at
{edited for privacy}

I would really appreciate it! Moving from texas to colorado has made it worse considering that the altitude has increased the pain a ton. I had an excellent pain dr back home that really understood and helped me, and gave me the pain meds that I truly need. Someone please help so I can get back to work and enjoying life again! Thanks

I'm a patient of CPR and they are following all the guidelines asked by the DEA!!! I don't know why they would be getting shut down. They require diagnostics, drug tests every month, and they only write 3 breakthru meds a day. I'm a severe chronic pain patient and I go to Dr. May. I'm the person who started this posting. Skinnyminny is there any way you can help me out. We can even talk over email so it's not on here. I am 100% legit and I can't just stop taking the meds I'm on.

Dr. May wasn't prescribing to just anyone, you have to have the same things as any other pain mangement he is legit and any dr can get fooled by a seeker. But I guess I will just go to his other practice that he has if cpr gets shut down cause he is a really good and caring doctor which is hard to come by most especially in colorado just want to give you weed which is stupid and just as dangerous. Rather be on a sugar pill thank you. Why would they even show you a list you have no ties with the dea and not a health care provider? Something doesn't sound right.

Just as my previous posts about him and CPR. They are taking your $$ still but Dr. m is in deep s*** with the DEA so instead of wasting your $ and getting 5's, find a legit dr like I see. Wish I could give his name to those of you who truly need help but I can't on a public forum. He's a great dr, but I can't refer people who were going to CPR or Dr. may because he wrote to anyone so I don't know if the people on here are legit or just seekers. I don't want my dr to be filled with seekers because everyone I personally know that went to those places had no legit reasons to even be in a pain clinic and he knew that when he was writing them, hence why he's in deep trouble. Check providers through your insurance and not these pay here places. That's the first sign that they are pill mills and won't be around long. If a dr isn't listed with insurance companies like CPR then they are pill mills and will get shut down. You may have to go through a few drs under your provider list but you'll find the right one for your needs if you have your MRI's and can prove your conditions you'll have no problems! There are legit dr's out there who write what you need!

Dr. May isn't saving a thing! He's being shut down. All if the Dr's around town have a list of who the DEA is closing down and he's the 1st one on there! I didn't even know who he was until I saw that list, so start looking for new care. He won't be writing a thing very soon. I have a great Dr. Who's legit and I get everything that I need! You just have to have a legit problem, have up to date MRI's and ask them up front to make sure you're not wasting your time with someone like Dr. May or CPR. Those are places who see anyone, a real dr doesn't have any problems with the DEAbecause they only write for people who are really in need. When they write to seekers like CPR and May did is when they get in trouble.

My friend just went to a new pain dr because Colorado Pain Management is closing down (CPR) and at her new Dr, she was shown a list of all Dr's being shut down by the DEA and Dr. May was the first on the list, so you may want to find someone else. I didn't even know who he was until that list, so good luck, but I'd start looking sooner than later. He'll be shut down soon.

CPR has totally stopped their practices because some idiot overdosed and died on oxycodone 30's. the DEA stepped in and now they won't give out anything except methadone! A friend of mine who has major back problems got cut off there. Then they said they were back up and running so she paid her $180 because the prices went up and walked out with methadone which she won't take because she's smart. So instead of her oxycodone 30's they gave her methadone! Those people are a hot mess! Save your $$. They'll be closed soon. Luckily I have a great dr and he's legit so I luckily am not in a tough spot like so many others are!i can tell you not to go there though! I can't give out his name on a forum but keep looking. There's a few good ones around!
