Anyone Know Of A Good Pain Management Doctor

My insurance allows to change doctors as often as needed, no pcp needed, also need good pain management doctor, currently have one in a hospital, do they charge alot more than one who has their own office. I was charged $2600 for an epidural, where other places charge 200/300. I lorain, ohio area. Is this correct. Shes really a rehabilitation specialist? please help ## Hello, Dave! How are you? There is no set amount that they may or may not charge. Fees are going to depend on the doctor, their years of experience, the treatments proffered and etc. Do you have a PCP? If you do and can have them refer you to someone, that may be the easiest way to find a good pm specialist in your area. Does anyone else know of any good doctors in that area?

I suffer from cervical dystonia with extremely painful muscle spasms. I have all my records, and MRI's. I have AR Medicaid, but it's almost impossible to find a pain doctor who takes it. If anyone could help me I sure would greatly appreciate it!!! Thanks so much!!!

My mother in law just moved down here from SC. She's in need of a GOOD pain management doctor as she has had 2 back surgeries and has had a broken skull 3 times. She's on SSI and Medicaid. ## Hello, Bella! How is she doing? Since she is on Medicaid, the easiest way to get her the help she needs will most likely be by getting her in with a new PCP, then having them refer her to a PM specialist. Does anyone know of any good doctors in that area? ## I have been on oxycodone 10mg 4×day, for 5 years. I have had 3 neck surgeries, one back surgery, a hip replacement, and I have arthritis all over... including my spine. My doctor suddenly stopped the oxycodone and gave me xtampza 13mg, 2× daily.

Anyone going to a good pain doctor in Memphis that is taking new patients. I am on disability and my wife and I both have r.a. The Dr. we have been seeing for over 10 years has cut our pain meds. If we need something stronger he said find a pain management Dr. He now wants to cut out our pain meds all together. Help please this is such a painful and depressing desease. ## I'm sorry that you're having such problems. New regulations have been put in place at the start of the year that are discouraging general practitioners and surgeons from prescribing pain medications for long-term use, due to the risk of improper prescribing and over prescribing, since they haven't been specially trained at managing pain. Did you try asking him for a referral? That often makes it easier to g...

I am searching for a good pain management doctor in Louisiana. The only pain medication I can tolerate is Methadone. ## You will need a copy of your medical records from your previous dr. There is no guarantee that another dr will prescribe you Methadone. When someone asks for a specific drug, it is a red flag or drug seekers. So it might be best to get an appointment and see a dr and take your medical records. You might have to see them for a few months before you will know if they will prescribe you Methadone. ## I have been in chronic pain for more than 17 yrs. since 2000. I had 3 disc badly ruptured and rendered me disabled, multiple back inj's, mri, cat scans, etc. I had a pain management doctor but he moved. I am suffering badly now from insomnia and awful pain that awakes me ...

How are you? Sorry about the pain that you're in. Do you currently have a PCP that you see regularly who could refer you to someone?

Is there a good pain management doctor in Olympia, WA that will prescribe pills? ## Hello, Earnest! How are you? There are plenty of great pain management specialists in WA, but I can't say whether or not they will prescribe you anything. It depends on your condition, health, medical history and etc. Do you currently have a PCP that you see regularly that could refer you to someone? If so, that might be the quickest and easiest way of finding the help you need. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area? Due to the new regulations that were put in place, doctors have to be careful about prescribing such medications and usually prefer to do so only as a last resort, after other options have failed. ## An 85 yr old lady in the Perth area of WA has pain in the knee and is looking fo...

I'm hoping someone out there could help me. I'm in need of a good pain management doctor in ne pa who also isn't afraid to write scripts for pain meds. I have medical problems so i'm in chronic pain. Please help me ## Hello, Kelly! How are you? Due to the regulations that were put in place last year, all doctors must be cautious about the prescriptions they write and why they write them, otherwise, they risk losing their license to practice medicine, as well as possible fines and jail time. Do you currently have a PCP that you see regularly? If so, having them refer you to someone will likely be the easiest way to get the help you need. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area?

I am moving to Mobile in two months. I am trying to find a cronic pain management doctor that will continue to prescribe me 180 30mg Oxycodone. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ## Unfortunately, there is no listing of doctors that I can refer to for you according to what they will or will not prescribe. Additionally, if you call around and ask if they'll prescribe such a medication, most doctors will view that as drug seeking behavior and not even let you get in the door. What you'll actually need to do is get yourself set up with a new PCP in your new area, then see if they can refer you to a pain specialist. That would likely be the quickest way to get the help you need. Does anyone know of a good doctor in that area? This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the po...

The most recent time was January of this year I broke my left ankle in 3 areas it resulted in me having 3 surgeries one to put plates in and at that time I contracted mrsa 2nd one was for a cleaning I also had to have a picc line placed and the 3rd was to take the plates out. This was a six month engagement. I also was working as an stna for about 13 years which is also a very physical Job. I was very hard on my knees and back and it is a lot of being on your feet. I am having a hard time getting a doctor who will prescribe me any pain meds mostly due to my age. If anyone knows of a doctor who would work with me in Ohio or Kentucky I would greatly appreciat

I have chronic back pain. I underwent surgery in april 2015 which seemed to work until I returned to my previous place of employment. Now i am even more unsure about another surgery and just want to be referred to a good sympathetic pain management doctor. I am a self pay patient with no insurance, so the clinic must accept that. Also, I would rather keep the cost of my monthly appointments at or under $200.00, at least after my first visit. My pcp should give me a referral to wherever, but i gotta be pointed in the direction of the easiest pain management clinic in hampton roads, va.....please help...send me text {edited for privacy}

hi, my sister has neck pain and abdominal pain from interstitial cystitis and lesions due to endometriosis surgery. She has been on Xodol for many years. Recently she switched to Heath Partners insurance after losing her job due to her inability to work. They will no longer cover the Xodol, which she desperately needs. Health Partners may cover it is a doctor can make a good case, but her current doctor seems to be very disorganized and unable to fill out the necessary paperwork. So I'm looking for a recommendation of a doctor who takes Health Partners, who goes out of his/her way for patients, who might be familiar with pain due to many different causes, and who is familiar with interstitial cystitis and celiac disease. Due to issues stemming from her childhood cancer treatments, t...

CAme here from florida got pain killers for my leg need to find a doctor here who isnt paranoid of a dea shutdown ## Hi, Matt! How are you? Unfortunately, they all have to be paranoid about that. New regulations were put into effect this year and any doctor that doesn't abide by them risks losing his license to practice medicine. Your best bet would be to establish a relationship in your new location, with a PCP, then have them refer you to a pain management specialist. Do you have a PCP, yet? ## Matt, did you ever find one? I am in Beaumont, and I too need to find a doc not afraid of narcotics. Moved here from Austin, and have a hard time finding a good doctor of nearly any kind.
