Universal pain clinic is not taking new patients...in fact discharged a friend over phone! No reason at all! And do not go to any private paid clinics.. especially Pain consultants or Universal. Lisa H. The NPA.. owner and worked prior to Universal is under investigation. All private cash paid clinics are. I got discharged from Pain Consultants for a dirty U/A.. and it was a huge lie! The DEA came in 2 weeks prior.. 3 NPAs walked off job the same time i walked into pain consultants clinic. I have and currently doing all i can to reduce pain.. Everything from Nerve ablation (burning nerves.. trail for spinal simulator, 2 failed back surgeries, inj's. all time..) currently still seeing spine surgeon. He wants to fuse both My SI Joints.. not happening... had back luck with back surgeries..why would i try. And now been medication free..forced since 2/3/18. I feel better but body hates me!!! And cus they on purpose failed my U/A.. I'm screwed. I myself want a doc team to be there for my pain and help me. I dont want more surgeries but i can barely walk without pain.

So please make sure you have paper trail of things u have done.. past, and now. And STAY AWAY FROM SELF PAID CLINICS! DEA AND CDC seriously looking to close all of them! If anyone here has advice or a real dr. pls let me know. Oh yea and i am legally disabled!! Sucks royally. Hope i help anyone out there!

Dr Stein on 116th & Siver Spring will take you & he does prescribe Oxycodone. I was just cut down to a max of 60mg a day so that is the max he will prescribe, but he will give you at least that & he's accepting new patients.

Who is your new dr? I am to the point where I am going to have to go see her and I really don’t want to. I was a patient of hers when she was at St Josephs and I self-discharged.

Re: Mickey (# 179)

There’s a new guide to prescribing in Wisconsin. Drs don’t have to follow it but the state hopes that they do...

Mickey,

Are you related to Gina? Dr Stein will cut you down for no reason at all.

Re: Mickey (# 183)

That's exactly what he did to me. I only started seeing him Feb & he cut me in half on my 1st appt w him. Initially I was seeing him for a 2nd opinion but now I'm having trouble finding some else. Dr stein told me he thinks I was an undercover DEA agent. He has some really intense paranoia going on.

Re: JK (# 182)

Wow, sorry that's your experience. They are doctors for APM, & not only do surgery, take care of u long term to manage your pain and yes, all 10 years of my experience have been WITH opiates. That's where I went every 2 months to get my refills. No problems. Sorry you had a polar opposite experience than I did. Maybe Greg felt u didn't need opiates, dunno.

Re: JK (# 181)

When did Dr Stein start cutting you down? He told me last month he would start this month but cut me half right away from 120 mg per day to 60mg per day. He gave me rx for 120 #15 mg tablets & said he could no longer prescribe the 30mg tablets. Did he do & say the same to you ?

Re: Diane (# 169)

Dr Stauss and his Pa's DON'T prescribe opiates. They're a surgical center. I actually had an appt. "Greg" the PA is super, super rude. God I hate this life. These ppl cop an attitude at ppl who are suffering, they should be dripping in sympathy & gratitude for their fortunate lives

Has anybody who sees Dr Stein had there Oxy 30mg cut in half ? He cut me from 4 a day to
2 a day and says hes cutting all his patients down to 60mg max per day. I really need to know if its true or if hes just doing it to me and lying about cutting everybody down.

Re: Lucy2009a (# 172)

A tens unit is exterior, and very helpful with pain- while u use it. Your insurance will pay for it (minus deductible)- I recommend u get one if ur in that much pain! I've never turned down anything "holistic" (meaning ANYTHING extra that can help with my pain that isn't just medication), & that includes my own inversion table, multiple back braces, PT, physical rehabilitation, nerve blocks, a spinal cord stimulator implant, surgeries, aqua therapy, acupuncture, massage therapy, forcing myself to stay for & deal with the consequences working out causes, inj's... what I'm trying to say is my doctors always prescribed me my meds bc I had a history over the last decade of constantly trying anything recommended. (& 4 yrs of this, b4 pre-existing condition law was passed, I paid dearly out of pocket, & still digging myself out financially due to it). I'm only 37, & for being as young as I am, there's not just MRI's & my word to show or prove my pain to them. You have to play the game, bc if ur it in that much pain, you'll try nearly anything- ESP. the non-invasive therapies out there that don't require surgery. If u dont, you'll be looked at now as a "pill seeker" with all the crap the government is putting us thru. It's ridiculous, but my sister fell under that category with her fibromyalgia, & no longer can work, & was put on suboxone, stripped of all narcotics almost overnight & left to suffer. No concrete physical evidence shes suffering. It's a scary world out there for us who suffer from chronic pain, unfair & biast. And it's obvious soon enough it's only gonna get worse for us- soon enough they hope to rid all narcotics with a new replacement out there already in place from our wonderful government. Play their game & for now that should get u back in their good graces,& allow u access to your proper pain relief medication. I don't mean to come across rude.

I'm trying to give advice, as tough as it is to take. I'd hate to know another sufferer fell victim like my sister bc they weren't aware of their standards to not lose everything. I'm paying my price for my stupidity failing a u/a from thc, but when you're in pain, sometimes you do anything to help, no matter how short that help lasts. I had a great thing going at APM, & now I'm not sure another Dr will even take me on after being discharged. I'm scared I'll lose everything I suffered to obtain, turn to abusing alcohol or street drugs, bc I can't do much of anything w/ out proper pain relief. It's such an unfair world. The good 'ol USA, but 1 strike & it's already looking like I sealed my fate. No forgiveness, no second chances. It's like they almost want the pain population to resort to becoming addicts without even a very strict & grueling process that would allow a second chance. If anyone out there has gotten a second chance for a situation like mine, I beg for your advice... as tough as it may be. I'm begging for advice on this situation only I put myself in!
Good luck to (all) of u out there struggling. My prayers are with u all- bc that's about all we can do since we have absolutely no say or control over our situations when it comes to proper pain relief. We're becoming more helpless by the day, & I truly fear for the future. But do remember- play their game. It's why my Drs didn't make me conform to the exact requirements the CDC & FDA approved. I've been told by 2 Drs "it's obvious you've tried everything, that's why we're making an exception in ur situation." They did lower my meds, but not to the ridiculously low approved morphine amount they count all narcotics to allowed by law.

The doctors had a paper trail of everything I did they asked of me, thus not liable for a lawsuit or losing their licenses. But I made the mistake (biggest mistake of my life,) & broke their trust. -& I'm young... The thought of never having a second chance to be properly treated for my pain scares me to the point of barely sleeping, panic attacks & nervous breakdowns. How long til I give up? I have a LONG time to think about it & live in that nightmarish reality. I may become my sister b4 I know it. Yup, I'm scared straight. Had I only known what I know now, I'd have NEVER given in to my pain& made such a stupid mistake when the opportunity came to me at the worst but perfect time when I couldn't take the pain anymore, but that was exactly the wrong time. What a stupid mistake. Please learn from my living nightmare. I had it made compared to many others, although it wasn't easy OR CHEAP, (& let me tell u, I didn't have a life in order to have it "made"- I lived to try to help my pain in any way possible & w/ out giving up & claiming bankruptcy, I live to pay off debt). But PLEASE, learn from my mistake & learn to play the game. It's seeming to be our only option if we dream to only have a part-time life with the meds they allow us. Good luck to all of u & I can only pray this long msg helps at least ONE person. We already don't have a life, but plz learn from my mistakes & advice. It can always get worse! My heart goes out to each & every one of u!

Anyone know of a good pain doctor that takes your pain seriously and is willing to give meds? I keep running into these doctors that want to give me a muscle relaxer and send me on my way. I need help. I wake up and go to sleep in pain. What kinda life is this? I’m in the Milwaukee, Racine area.
