Unfortunately, no one can really know ahead of time what a doctor is or is not willing to prescribe, as that is based on the doctor's discretion and not just on someone else's previous appointment (especially since many doctor's are now worried about losing their licensing for prescribing too many narcotics).

Some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for any 'specific medication' when you see a new doctor. Just make sure to transfer or take a copy of all your medical records with you. Then, the best approach in my opinion, is to discuss up front and honestly what has or hasn't worked for you in the past. Most doctors will take it under consideration and hear you out if you approach them in this manner. I believe a lot of patients don't get the medication they need because they are approaching the doctor in such a needy way that they are being viewed as addicts or junkies with "drug seeking behavior" and not regular patients. So as awkward as that may seem it is something to consider and be made aware of, because sadly enough that is how many close-minded doctors tend to think.

I may not have a doctor I can refer you to, but I can provide you with a couple links that may be of service to you in so far as finding pain management doctors within your general area.

Just input your city or zip code for narrowed results:

I'd consider calling up a number of them to see if they are accepting new patients.

I hope this info helps and wish you good luck on finding the right doctor!

Dr. Kedar Deshpande is a great pain doctor. If you just want pills then he isn't the guy. He does many procedures that help. He is a nice guy but soooo busy. His staff isn't the best but I have been there for many many years! No one better that I have come across!
