Doctors Who Will Prescribe Pain Medication Illinois

Updated

I have both chronic and acute headaches. I've taken everything. The only relief I ever get is through narcotics. No one will prescribe them so I've spent the last 10 years in bed, in the dark. I would really like to die because the pain is so bad. When it gets bad I'll go to the ER but they won't even help me. I also have a problem with my body making kidney stones. Please help.

Hello, Rocky! How are you?

Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require narcotics on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see a specialist. A PCP won't be able to prescribe them for you. Thus, you'll likely need to see a neurologist and a urologist.

Do you currently have a PCP that could refer you to other doctors? If so, that would be the best way of getting the help you ned.

Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area?

What is a PCP? My neurologist looked at my chart and determined I have tried everything. I've been to 2 different pain clinics both don't believe in narcotics. If they could feel the way I do, the light of understanding might come on.

Hi Rocky! I do hope you are doing better. I too suffer from chronic pain...I wake up in pain and go to bed in pain. I've done EVERYTHING my Dr has asked me to do...from different pain meds to epidurals, physical therapy, and the top, laser surgery. Nothing worked except Norco w/Tramadol. Tramadol by itself does nothing. And I don't take anything if it doesn't work!. I too have gone to a pain clinic which I was told they don't use Norco n Tramadol for pain. So I did what they told me to do....no relief! I was thru w/them when they gave me Balcofen...that had me dizzy and sleeping all the time! I explained to them I have a family, and I can't be out of it all the time. That's not quality of life to me. So I stopped taking it. Im still w/my primary Dr who I've been w/for over 20yrs. He's the only one who understands my problem. Been to the er many times b4 the Norco was given and all they gave me was a shot of Tramadol... Did nothing. I'm doing the best I can. I don't abuse my meds and I don't appreciate the govt dictating what they feel is okay for me to take or not take. Don't get me started on them! It's just horrible

Sorry to bother you but are you in IL? My doctor is retiring and I have been with him for over 15 yrs and now need to find a new one. I have tons of records showing I NEVER abuse and charts everything for the last 15yrs. Just need to find a doctor who will continue my treatment.
