New Orleans Pain Dr. (Page 2) (Top voted first)
UpdatedHi. I'm looking for a pain management doctor in New Orleans/Westbank/etc area. I'm 27 and some places I called only accepts 35+. My Doc of 6yrs has cancer, so he transferred his patients. I recently found a Doc, but he doesn't prescribe soma, and reduced my pain meds. I rather just find a Doc in my area, than drive to BR each month for less meds. Thanks.
We haven't heard from Honey in many years. Last I heard it didn't go well
Gudhavetosufferforthebad , if you have Louisiana Medicaid, it will not pay for management of chronic pain. If you have private insurance or Medicare, there may or may not be a problem, Which University Health, aka LSU, are you referring to .
I am looking for a pain management clinic in or around New Orleans or Baton Rouge that accepts medicaid and gives narcotic prescriptions.
I'm in need of a pain management clinic in New Orleans, Louisiana that accepts cash & prescribes roxicodone.
Re: Nola 2017 (# 27)
There is no way of knowing what a doctor will and won't prescribe a particular patient. You will need copies of your medical records from your previous doctor to prove you have a medical condition that may require opiates. But that is no guarantee a doctor will prescribe what a previous doctor did. Each doctor has their own way of prescribing. But, almost all of them start new patients out on the mildest med and go from there.

Were you able to find one? I'm looking for one for my mom. Throat Cancer and she needs her meds.
Re: Honey (# 4)
Would u by any chance share the name of ur doctor. I have been having trouble finding a new PM doctor and have been a PMP for more than 20 years.
If anyone has the name of a PM doctor in the New Orleans area please share. I have multiple MRIs with and without contrast, have been a CPP for over 20 years and saw my last PM doctor for seven years. He is no longer practicing. I was prescribed a long-acting and breakthrough pain medicine-Oxycontin ER and Oxycodone IR. I've never had any trouble getting medicine prescribed or passing drug panels. I just can't find the right doctor. {edited for privacy}

Re: don (# 33)
Your Provider Directory is a great starting point
Many Doctors do not like to prescribe Soma. You are also taking Pain Meds too? As you know pain medicine and Soma go together. Doctors know this too. Now that Soma a Schedule IV medication, you will find it harder to obtain. Still possible.
