Hi I just moved to Knoxville Tennessee and I don't have insurance yet I suffer from being hit by a car I have a spinal injury L4, L 5, S1 and hip problems and degenerative disc desease along with depression. I'm in need of finding a doctor fast because I've been off my meds over a month and I'm in bad shape. My doctor from Michigan mailed me my medical records but I'm having problems getting medical insurance and I'm a chronic care patient I also suffer from asthma. Can anyone direct me anywhere that will prescribe my meds without insurance

Dr. Daniel Smith is a family dentist that will help with your teeth. He is located in Oliver Springs, Tn. Also, Dr. Naggy is an Oral surgeon and is located in Oak Ridge, & Crossville, Tn. Both are highly recommended for extreme cases. Dr. Scott Gallian on Harden Valley Road is a great primary care doctor and if he can't help, he will work hard to find you someone that will. Omega Pain Center with Dr. Egor is really well established and help a lot of people in your situation.

I had a tumor between L4 and L5 that damaged my sciatic nerve, I had a bulged disc and a slipped disc. When I had surgery I was also diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. I am looking for a doctor that will help without having to go to a pain clinic. I'm only 23 and it's hard to get a dr to actually believe my pain. I understand the opioid epidemic however I cannot live like this for the rest of my life. I just can't do it. I am looking for a dr that will take me serious, review my MRI, and maybe even call my back surgeon for assurance. I heard that those steroid injections in your back help so I paid 400 for them in a moment of being very very desperate for relief and it was a waste of time and money. Please someone share with me the name of a dr that will help me. I use to take oxymorphone and the dr's office didn't accept my new insurance. I had no problems stopping the medicine so I know it wasn't a problem for me but it helped so much. I would rather have a cure than to maintain it with pain meds but my surgeon said that where my nerve is damaged that it is something that can't be permanently fixed. This was horrible news but I'm willing to be called a junkie for relief. Help me please someone.

Pain Consultants of East TN on Weisgarber are the best in town. They have different programs they want you to attend, but they will help you. I've learned quite a bit from going there, actually, and i've been a pain patient for roughly 20 years. Dr. Joe Browder and Dr. Choo and they have 3 locations. Phone is 865-579-0552. Best of luck to you.

I suffer greatly & daily from fibromyalgia pain. It's getting to the point where if I don't find some relief soon I won't be able to work and I have to work. Does anyone know of any pain management clinics in or around Knoxville, TN that treats fibromyalgia and takes insurance?

I would call your insurance office and ask who they pay for under "pain management doctors". I have done this before. I currently go to Bearden Healthcare in Knoxville. I really like them!!

I have chronic pain and also PTSD. Are there any recommendations for a doctor that will actually listen to me and prescribe me medication? I live in TN but willing to see doctors out of state.

I have been prescribed oxycodone for pain and xanax for my PTSD. I just returned from being out of the country and am in need of a good doctor that will refill my medications.

I live in Knoxville, TN and I used Tennova Pain Center for almost 10 years, until they closed last spring. Since then it has been a nightmare finding another decent a reputable place to go. Stay away from Coffey Family Practice! They advertise that they do pain management and they will give you pain meds as long as they can keep over ordering procedures and make $$ off of you. My ENT Surgeon gave me a referral to Omega and I had an appointment within days. The Doctor there (Dr. Smelansky ?, not sure about the spelling). He is a Neurologist and a Pain Management Specialist and he is wonderful. He mainly does Orthopedic problems but he took me as a patient with my brain tumor, chronic shingles, cluster headaches and Neurotmesis from a dentist who severed my cranial nerve with an injection. He is awesome and really listens to his patients. It is by far the best Pain Management Doc I have ever had. You need a referral and he did start me out on a low dose. They took away my 20 mg oxycontin time release and only prescribed the 10 mg oxycodone X4 a day. He gave me my Lyrica with a 6 month supply, for the shingles. I would highly recommend him, especially for the people who have Orthopedic issues.

Tennessee passed a law at the first of the year that says Doctors cannot prescribe narcotics and Benzos. I have PTSD and need valium for vertigo. I had to stop my xannax and ambien in order to get treatment for the pain. I had to leave one Pain Management clinic because they wouldn't allow me to use some leftover xannax for the vertigo. I found a pain management doctor who understands and told me to "do what I have to" to treat the vertigo. I get it when I get shingles in my inner ear and there is nothing to do but wait until they go away. When I get vertigo, I vomit up my pain meds and it throw s me into detox. I can't afford to run to the ER every time I get vertigo, for a shot of ativan. With my brain tumor, they want to give me an MRI every time I walk in the door and the last bill was $18,000. I am now at Omega Pain Management and the Doctor there is great. You might try him. They are on the same road as Park West Hospital.

Dr. Sarlo isn't there anymore. He was always nice to me. I always made him smile. I went to him for 7 years & then I found another Dr. He said he would take me back anytime I needed to be seen. A lot of people didn't like him because he didn't take any s***. But I always smiled & had a sense of humor & he wasn't ever out of the way with me. Good luck getting help. Methadone & Suboxone are the worse 2 medications to withdrawal from. They stay on the Opioid Receptor in your brain 7-9 days longer than any other Pain Medicine. It's called P.A.W.S. (Post Acute Withdrawal Symptoms). This to shall pass.

I'm 62, from Knoxville, have back problems & was wondering if anyone ever heard of pain management out of there house and if they prescribe? Reason I ask is because I went last month and this morning paid the money and called in a prescription and I picked it up with no problem. I wasn't there but 15 min & he asked me everything on the phone mostly and was very nice and understanding. Anyone heard of this?

Bulls***. They are the worst that I have ever been to. I have crushed and deteriated discs from a 40 ft. fall from a tree, arthritis everwhere., horrible headaches and the list goes on. I've been on pain meds for 30 yrs. and they did nothing, but want to stick needles in me. I have been in 2 car wrecks and several motorcycle crashes.
