What Options When Doctor Suddenly Won T Prescribe Norco

Updated

My doctor suddenly stopped prescribing my Norco 10/325 after two plus years. Sent me to a pain med doctor who didn't even look at my records and gave me nothing and told me to come back in two weeks, after charging me $250.00. What options do I have now? I am in Florida.
Thanks for any feedback.

Hi Kittkatt,

I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. I don't know of any doctors to refer you to, but I just thought I'd ask if you've considered trying any other methods of pain management besides medication? The medication may help take the away the pain temporarily, but won't necessarily heal the underlying issues that could be causing your pain to continue.

Some people have had success with acupuncture, acupressure, CBD/THC from cannabis, raw vegan diets, and various other herbal solutions.

If you're not getting any help from your doctor or other healthcare providers, it may just be a sign to put your health back into your own hands and research other ways to heal your body.

I hope this advice helps!

You stated you have to go back in 2 weeks? Did they screen you? I'm just thinking that could be why they didn't give u anything and be having u to come back in because they maybe waiting on the results to come back before they prescribe you anything? Just a thought...

Hello- Thanks for responding. No, he didn't do anything, the pain med guy. He probably wasn't in the room for more than three minutes at the most, and I promise, I am not exaggerating. I work for doctors (not this one), so I know it was an extremely short visit, and then charged me for an initial visit at $250.00. Not only that, the MA asked me what my vitals were, and I thought she would then take them; nope, just wrote down whatever I said. When she got to the weight, I said 100 pounds (I am not fat, but clearly do not weigh 100 pounds), just for a joke. She wrote it down, without even flinching. I am scheduled to return this week, and I am undecided what to even do. I surely cannot afford those prices, and the doctor said he was giving me a break, being I am in the medical field (I have my own transcription business at home, have had it for over 20 years). I was referred to this guy from my own doc, and records were sent. I think he never even looked at them. Anyway, I hope they don't read here, they will probably figure out who I am from what I wrote.

Any further advice, much appreciated.
Thanks, Kittkatt

David - Thanks for your response. Yes, I have thought of other non-prescription options. The problem is at this point, I would deal with the pain, but I am not in a place where I can deal with the withdrawals. I have been on it for a couple of years, and I know I will be miserable, and I will deal at some time in the future, but right now, there is so much going on in my life, I just don't feel like I can take the time out required and deal with those symptoms. I, like you, believe that I am being informed by the "universe", if you will, that it is time to make a change, and I definitely think I must in the not too distant future, just not right at this moment.

Anyway, thanks so much for your reply. I have an appointment with this guy tomorrow, and am not sure what to do. My own personal physician has been absolutely great, trying to help me get this done, but we are still facing this dilemma. kittkatt
