Doctor In Richmond Va Who Will Prescribe Opiates For Severe Chronic Pain (Page 9)

I have moderate to severe Degenerative Disc Disease of Cervical Spine with severe narrowing (stenosis) along with bulging and herniated discs with severe arthritis (osteo) also in cervical spine with boney spurs. I also have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome ad Chronic Fatigue. My pain management doc has done many different procedures, non giving much relief and no long term relief. She has told me there is nothing more she can do. So, I need a Primary Care Doctor who will take over writing my Morphine and Muscle Relaxer. My current Primary Care doctor said she trusted me totally but could not write RX for opiates. I need help. I will not be able to function without some pain meds. I live in Gen Allen, a Richmond, VA suburb. Please helpp. Thank you.

I am in va. Can you tell me who you see and how effective they are? My conditions are excruciating and I have been dealing with them since I was 14 years old and I am not ready to give up and give my life to the lord. I still have my 9 and 11 year old who has no father and my mom is not doing well herself but she does have my kids due to my 9 year old being autistic. It's very hard to get in to see these Dr's without a lot of hassle.

In need of a great pain management doctor. I have 2 bulging disc in my back with major scar tissue from past surgeries. I will be moving to the RVA area soon and I will have to transfer to a different doctor. I'm already prescribed 120 30mg Roxicodone and 60 oxycontin. Looking for a doctor who will keep that going.

Try this doctor: Tasha Dickerson of dominion medical associates at west 28th street in Richmond, Virginia. (804) 225-7177. She's a great doctor to see. The best part of her care is she is very honest and kindhearted, the best way to be. That says it all in a nutshell.

Hello, my name is Thea Wade and I am a 37 year old mother that suffers from Fibromyalgia, DDG, severe arthritis, and the lost goes on. My PCP doctor was writing my medications but said I have to go to pain management. I have tried injections and other intervention but the only way I can have the pain bearable is medication. If you could please help me. I really need it and feel like I will never find a doctor and your post caught my eye. If you can help please respond.

Thea

Sadly, if you are in Virginia or are coming this way, may God forbid you have Aetna. I live in Richmond & was told by Aetna, after both PCP's that had me on a LOT of stuff, that there is NO one closer than Christiansburg that will treat you with only meds. IF you are "lucky" enough to get an appointment with either a pain specialist, they'll want to use that new laser spine machine to surgically "fix you", when I was examined & it was a no go, I was given bums rush out door with a list of other docs on it. Most were ones I'd already gotten at PCP's. The other option is to go into a physical therapy program, which often includes injections of steroids & some Lidocaine or Marcaine & don't work well & you cannot get more then 3 per year as it erodes both bone & tissue. You might also be pushed into going into a pain support group therapy thing. What I've found is those that can help won't & the others see true pain patients as a revenue stream. The malingerers have ruined it for us all (there are some, but most true pain patients have NO interest in "getting a buzz" they just want to get on with their lives).

Personally I ended up googling which drugs mitigated the opiates & I happened to be on some so I tapered myself, at my own pace, instead of the crash course the docs are doing. Got a new PCP, she "could" have written my stuff, but told me to face that "she wasn't trained in how to interpret the diagnostics that are now mandatory here for opiate prescriptions & besides the paperwork would keep her too busy to have a normal life." Boo hoo. The others, mostly pain docs or PCPs that have been treating pain people, are either not accepting new patients, retiring, deciding to work part time & reducing their patient loads. As if that wasn't depressing enough, the TV is flooded with some drone pitching an addiction rehab program. I personally find it insulting. If anyone in Richmond wants to share a resource, I'll not only be grateful, I'll keep you out of it, take it to my grave. I have a LOT of the same symptoms, djd in neck back, arthritis in hands/feet, etc., spondylosis, primary fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, chronic migraine & am allergic to both NSAIDS & Aspirin. Been taking 1 motrin daily, but causing GI bleeding. But I cannot stand just the Tylenol. Doing home traction & ice packs, with limited success. So tired I feel like I could just lie down on the floor & not move again. Sorry if I've ranted, but Richmond has become a cold cruel place for those in pain.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate everyone's concern. I found a doctor Bonner in richmond that I'm going to next monday. If does not work out I will try Dr Dickerson. I hope that all of us going through this gets some relief. Others don't understand how much we have to deal with.
