Pennsylvania Pain Doctors

Updated

I have multiple horrendous back problems, to say the least. I used to be on fentanyl patches, somas, percs, and methadone before the patches. I live in a very rural area and the drs make it clear that they no longer prescribe narcotics period. That's so unfare. I despertly need pain relief. Plz help.

Hello, Aimer! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain and having such a problem.

There were new regulations put in place last year that restrict what PCPs can prescribe, so you will need to find a pain management specialist to continue such medications.

Have you tried asking your current doctor to refer you to someone?

And can you please post back with your general area of PA? I am originally from there and may know of some doctors you can try in your area.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Do you have a PCP whom you see regularly that might be able to refer you to someone?

That might be the quickest and easiest way to find the help you need.

I have chronic pain and have a referral for a pain management doctor.. I need someone who will continue to prescribe my narcotics. I have been taking them for 3 years and don't want to stop them because they do help. I am looking in the western and central parts of Pennsylvania.

Hi. I have severe rapid onset dominant side dystonia (sustained muscle cramps affecting the entire right side of my body). I do PT OT, Psychology and have two neurologists and a nuerosuergon but am in severe pain from the constant spasms and sore when they subside for a short while. I'm desperate to find a doctor that will try a narcotic medicine for me, any relief, even tramadol at this point would improve my life, I am at wits end waiting on genetic testing to see if I'm a candidate for Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. I have had 13 surgeries on my joints due to a genetic condition that makes me hypermobile and have a ton of arthritis but its the dystonia that has brought me to my knees figuritively and literally. I take levadopa valium baclofen and do botox and am still suffering so much. I'm near Cranberry PA.

Hi! I need to find a pain management doctor in the Quakertown Pennsylvania area. I currently go to a clinic everyday, but I want the convenience of having my methadone at home. I am willing to travel, for a good doctor (as far as Philadelphia). Please there must be someone out there!!!

I've had 4 surgeries now on my arm and just got back from the doctors. I am in extraordinary pain now and now he wants to take out all hardware and let my arm hang there with no support for 6 weeks. I will be in worse pain. Are there any doctors around Allentown/Bethlehem PA that are good with prescribing pain meds? Please help. This sucks.
