Need To Find A Doctor Who Will Prescribe Pain Medication In Suburbs Of Detroit Michigan

Updated

I have chronic legit pain with paperwork, (MRI's, EMG's, X-Rays and medical records from rheumatologist, nuerolgist, my family doc, etc...) My family doctor has decided that I need to see a pain managment specialist and has dismissed me as a patient. Please know I went to Beaumont Hospital's Pain clinic in Troy, MI and I have went through 3 years of PT also with Beaumont Hospital in Troy) Both did not work to relieve my pain. I am currently on Oxycotin 30 mg - 90 pills a month and Viccodin ES, 120 pills a month along with Trammadol, Xanax, hypertension and heart medcation. I would like to get off the viccodin because the tylenol in it is bringing up my liver enzyemes. I know all these medications are bad for me, but walk a day in my shoes and you would understand. My medical problems are many inluding: fibromyalgia, 4 bulging discs, lordosis of the neck, scoliosis of the spine, degenerative arthritis throughout my body including my knees, back and ankles, I am also diabetic and have bone spurs in my heels, shoulders, and back. I also have bursistis of my left shoulder. I also have PCOS. I was sexually abused from the age of 5 to about 9. Because of anxiety I rarely leave my home. I just want enough pain medication so that I can get out of bed and not be in extreme pain every waking minute of my life. I am at the point of thinking of suicide if I cannot find a doctor to help me. I have been let down so many times by doctors. PS - I am also morbidly obese. I weigh 320 and am 5'6. So I need a lot of pain medication to actually work on this big body. Thank you

An estimated 50 million Americans use acetaminophen each week to treat conditions such as pain, fever and aches and pains associated with cold and flu symptoms. To help encourage the safe use of acetaminophen, the makers of TYLENOL® have lowered the maximum daily dose for single-ingredient Extra Strength TYLENOL® (acetaminophen) products sold in the U.S. from 8 pills per day (4,000 mg) to 6 pills per day (3,000 mg). The dosing interval has also changed from 2 pills every 4 – 6 hours to 2 pills every 6 hours

Thank you for the replies. I have found a compassionate, awesome doctor. And Eddy - I didn't post my height and weight for you to say Wow and be critical. When you walk a week in my shoes you can judge. I was told I stay heavy as I do not want men to consider me attractive because of the sexual abuse and not wanting a man to touch me. So don't judge me!!!!

Hi! I got my medical records from my pain specialist to seek help elsewhere because he treated me badly when I cried from pain. When I went another Dr. he wouldn't prescribe me anything because my previous Dr. omitted important info of my condition. When I tried to get another Rx to cover me till I could get a Dr. to prescribe me meds he refused because he claimed I broke my contract. I am now suffering with severe Pain and now even my primary care physician states that he can't give me an Rx because of the new STUPID LAWS regarding pain meds. I've made at least 15 calls to pain clinics and Drs and NO ONE has any openings even after I explain my situation!! By the way that's another STUPID LAW: Drs can only have a limited amt of pts. I can't take the pain from arthritis low back injury and unsuccessful neck surgery. Help in MI before I drive my car into a tree!!!!!

I would get off ALL OF THAT
SUBOXONE is the way to go!!! Some Dr.s give them for pain depending on your state. Suboxone is to help get off narcotics or any street drug without withdrawing, its very strong, not a narcotic though and has no Tylenol! I'd look into it, your not supposed to use it with any others (drugs) but most sub doctors will let you take a very little dose of xanax.

Hello Tony.

I'm replying to your post about a pain management doc in the metro area. I'm NOT the one who posted and to whom you replied, but am similarly in need of a doc who is not frightened to write an RX. I have all the records, etc., and in fact fired my last doc because all he would do is write scripts after he put me thru the usual expensive tests.
Any contacts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

4000mg is liver toxicity in a 24 hour period. Follow the instructions. People die from the Tylenol toxicity more often then the opiods.

Hi! Sorry to hear of your severe pain. I know exactly what you're going through! I finally have my pain under control by seeing Dr. Zaman at McLaren Pain Clinic in Lapeer Mi. He is a very caring understanding Dr. I'm so glad my daughter-in-law recommended McLaren and I'm sure if it's not too far for anyone you'll be very satisfied.

Tell me what is this person to do with out pain treatment? Before I was put on the medications I take now I was completely bedridden, I couldn't sleep because of the pain and all the medications I tried didn't work until my doctor put me down on what I have been taking for 16 years. It's a matter of quality of life. My liver test have always come back normal.

I have read a lot about Subozone and it's not something you want to get put on. There are so many people trying to get off of that stuff, they say the withdrawal from that drug is awful. I would never take it. I have severe chronic pain all documentation, tried many medications that did not help and left me bedridden for a year and a half. Right now I am trying to find a pain doctor that is closer to me with no luck. I have paid two pain doctors already that refused to treat me. The doctor I have been seeing for seven years lowered my Xanax for sleep which I was on the same dose for 12 yrs, now I am up all night because I can't fall asleep, I usually will fall asleep at nine am, can't take much more of this. If anyone knows of a good doctor in Downriver, Michigan I would appreciate it very much.

I am sorry to bother you guys but I am a genuine chronic pain patient who has been with the same doctor in Metro Detroit, Michigan for 9 years. I am suffering and it is terrible. I have been to 5 doctors who will NOT HELP me and the "pain specialist/pain management" guy I saw treated me like an addict and implied that I was lying when I always used my insurance and never EVER got scripts from any other doctors but my own..for 9 years! Anyway I have tapered down and am using what I have left from an old script before I switched-it is not the withdrawal I am afraid of; it is the PAIN. I am going to end up unable to work (again) and ruining my family because I am useless and miserable. I just need a compassionate doctor who can HELP me with pain and if that means giving me pain meds while I pursue other treatments, so be it! Doctors should NOT make their patients suffer this way because they are afraid. This is crazy.

I'm in the same boat. I have MS and loss of reflexes. This is May 2017. I truly would appreciate any help finding a doctor. My Dr. left private practice and did not bother to only give 3 weeks notice. Patient abandonment. Please help. I swear to you I'm NOT A JUNKIE or profit maker, this is legit. Thank you. {edited for privacy}

I have been going to 1 pain clinic now for 5 years. I have severe, painful, back and head pain. Confirmed by MRI's etc. The pain clinic I've been going to has been cutting back meds to the point where they're really not helping my pain anymore. This may be due to new regulations? However...their caring has completely stopped and everyone is treated like a drug addict or are treated suspiciously. At any rate, I just hate going there now. I've never had any problems like with urine tests or anything. It's as if they have all drunk the Kool-Aid and it's time to go. However, finding them 5 years ago was so hard. Does anyone know of a good, solid, professional pain clinic in any of the greater Detroit suburbs? (Preferably Oakland County where I reside.) I am given the lowest dose of Fentanyl patch to change every 48 hrs. (3) 10mg Percocet per day, and #40 Fioricet per mo. for headaches/head pain. Plus 4mg of Tizanadine at bedtime. I was taking 1/2 of a 5mg Ambien at bedtime which allowed me to sleep thru the whole night without pain (!) but they said they can't write it anymore as it is not to be written with Opiates. Now I can't get to sleep easily, and once I do, the pain wakes me thru the night and I wake up feeling as tho I've had an hour of sleep instead of 6-8 hrs I was getting. Anyone know of a good place without an aversion to helping with the meds I've listed above? It would be so nice to take something for the anxiety that comes with chronic pain, but the place I go to will not hear of any "support drugs" such as those. I really need help! Anyone out there with the name of a good, decent place with caring staff? That would be so great! Thank you :)

I want to address several thoughts with you. I would approach your serious, chronic pain issues in the following regimens. I would make every effort to find a program to lose weight. There are so many successful programs available, or get your doctor on board to prescribe a program that will work for you and your insurance will pay for. The doctor will be more inclined to prescribe for you if he or she can see that you are invested in trying to help work with your pain issues and not just relying on medication. Also, weight loss will help with the pain, if you are diabetic getting your sugar under control has so many positive returns for your overall health. Turning to the different opiates...here is the scoop. These medications will cause tooth loss, scoliosis, deep vein thrombosis and so many more side effects, some life threatening. I fell this way. Because they are dangerous I feel that taking them for a week or two after surgery or after an accident would be tops, or of course for a much longer period of time in the event of a terminal illness like cancer or with illnesses like Lupus. Moving on to Soma. The abuse of Soma by the pubic has now impacted the well meaning patient with no abuse issues has made it nearly impossible for those with chronic pain related to muscle pain, almost impossible to get a prescription for. I hope what I have offered you will help improve your life overall. Invest in yourself. You will get great returns!!
