I Need A Pain Management

Drug Category

An analgesic is any member of the group of drugs used to achieve analgesia, relief from pain. The word analgesic derives from Greek αν - ("without") and λγος - ("pain").[1] Commonly known as painkillers, analgesic drugs act in various ways on the peripheral and central nervous systems. They are distinct from anesthetics, which reversibly eliminate sensation, and include paracetamol (known in the US as acetaminophen or simply APAP), the non-steroidal anti-inflamma...

I live in Memphis Tn.I have been going to the methadone clinic for 13 years.I have R A and I can't afford the methadone clinic anymore.I need to find A Dr That will prescribe my methadone. I need help ASAP ## Hello, Lee! How are you? I'm sorry, but a clinic is your only option. It is illegal for a private practice doctor to prescribe it for addition treatment or maintenance, under current U.S. law, that can only be done by those specially trained in its use for such in a clinical setting. Even those that resorted to a clinic for pain, end up having to remain there, because once that is in your medial records, you have no other option. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness...

I have been on two or three pain medications for almost 20 years that have kept me going but my old pain management doctor is not there now and the ones who took over for him say they cant see me again because I did not tell them I was on meds from another doctor but I did let the doctor that I had been seeing know I was on the medicine plus the medicine he gave me. I am totally very upset. I am not a person who wants to do the drugs that I do but if I want to live a normal life I need them. I have had a life for the last 10 years and because of some people who abuse pills we all suffer.Why can't doctors listen to you. I need a new pain doctor that can just look at me and see that I have pain very severe pain. ## I am very sorry about what you're going through, I really hate to ...

Need new dr. in Akron Canton Ohio area. That will treat chronic pain with methadone. ## Need new pain management dr. in alliance ravenna kent akron ohio area that will not rule out treating chronic pain with narcotics. ## Hello, Jackie! How are you? I'm sorry, but there is no listing of doctors according to what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. Do you currently have a PCP that could refer you to someone? If so, that may be the easiest way to find the help you need.

May I order tramadol? I used to be prescribed hydrocodone dilautid tramadol soma. I do not want to be on hard core drugs. Tramadol works soma. Was the best for my spasms but I am open to anything. I have fibromyalgia scoliosis cervical neck spurs and osteoarthritis my right foot had a mid fusion July 9 2015. I'm still recovering I think subtalular fusion is next. My left foot is worse. Now my knees are swelling. I have lost my strength. My tmj is horrific. I am not able to open my mouth except one finger. One half inch. Tooth brushing and Floss very difficult. Please help I am a veteran. The Dr told me I will not prescribe you hydrocodone until you stop taking adderall. If I don't have it. I can't get out of bed.

How are you? Sorry about the problems that you're having. However, the days of any doctor prescribing stuff, without trying other non-narcotic options first are over. New regulations were put in place this year that makes it even harder for them. Do you have a PCP that could refer you to someone? That would most likely be the fastest and easiest way to get the help you need. What problem did you have with the...

My physician has suggested using this steroid in conjunction with my marcaine injections into my paravertebral lumber nerves. Any thoughts? ## Run as fast as u can! after being given this drug for a short period I developed avascular necrosis of both hips.

Please read all lit. on this subject, and dont believe it is safe. also drug is known to cause a condition that causes the spine to rot. do not take any steroids in epidural or caudel form near your spine. they r not fda approved meaning steroids for use near the spine.

I'm having a hard time finding a pain management dr in New Jersey, I'm wiling to travel to Philly. I've been on my medicine since 2008, my doctor just suddenly stopped writing my scripts, now what. No one wants to write for what I been on and I don't know what to do. Does anyone know of a dr that can help me please!! ## Hello, Becca! How are you? Part of the problem may be due to your asking them to write for certain medications. If you're asking that, before you go in for an appointment and establish a relationship with the doctor, they're going to view that as being drug seeking behavior. Is there a chance that the doctor that was prescribing could refer you to someone? That might be the quickest and easiest way to find the help you need. Can anyone suggest a g...

Hi, A few months ago I got out of bed and had severe pain down my right leg. The doctor diagnosed it as sciatica prescribed me two 5/500 vicodin ever 6hours and 8 Weeks of physical therapy. The meds had no effect at all. When I went back I told the doc they were not helping so he upped it to 10/325 norco 6x a day. At first they only helped a little bit, he told me to take it 4x a day and my pain got "under control." I went back and saw a different doc at the same practice because my normal one was booked solid. The new doc took one look at my chart and told me that my Rx was too high, so she switched me to 10Mg oxycodone every 6 hours. For a few Weeks it helped as much as the norco but the pain got worse (I have a narrow spinal column, arthritis, and 4 herniated discs). I had a ...

I have had 2 plates and 8 screws placed in my neck and have hardware in my low back. The pain management Dr I have been going to for the past 3 yrs just released me from his practice with some bs excuse now I need to find another Dr that will write my scripts. I was only on 120 30mg oxycodone a month just enough to help me go to work and support my family and then be blessed to spend time with my family after working and not be in a ton of pain. Can anyone refer me to a new Dr that doesn't have a problem writing this same script near the South Philly or jersey area

Are there any good drs in or around Lexington NC that will get me back on my pain meds without all the drama? I have been on Roxicodone 20mg 5xs a day, prescribed through my primary care dr. He started to get afraid of prescribing the amount of medication I needed, after 2 years, and referred me out to a pain clinic. In 6 months, I have had 5 u/a's, several pill counts, and it doesn't appear to be getting any better. I have Medicare and 1 u/a alone leaves me with a bill of $62 left over to pay once Medicare has paid their part. The whole thing is just getting to be too costly! Please, if anyone knows a good dr for pain management in my area, please let me know!! Thanks

My son's wife is claiming her doctor told her she has lupus. I say claimed because she is a compulsive liar and we have not seen any of lupus or that he has even said this. She has a prescription a doctor is giving her of 150 Oxycodone a month that she uses up in 2 weeks. This is a huge concern of mine because the children are being neglected while my son is at work. She is so drugged up, the 1 and 2 year old are left gated in her bedroom while shes passed out from the drugs. Also, her pysch is gone. Shes irrational, turned very mean and abusive. Common sense is no longer there. What doctor in their right mind would prescribe that amount of pills month after month. I feel she is lying about having lupus. But Heppa law prevents my son from discovering the truth. HELP!! ## Hello, Dais...

I am 33 yrs old and in constant pain. Between the knee surgery and the dual fusion (L4-S1) the daily pain runs my life. With all the changes regarding narcotic pain meds my life has been turned upside down. I was on a regimen that worked well then BAM! It all went to s***. Now all my doctor will give me is Tramadol. This my friends is worthless. I am simply looking for a doctor that is not afraid to give me the meds I need and that my medical records warrant. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I need a pain doctor or pain clinic who doesn't require a referral, takes Medicare and Medicaid, who will prescribe my Xanax 2mg, Dilaudid 8mg, Roxy 30, Soma 350mg. I have my paperwork from the hospital state to take these meds. I need someone in Atlanta Ga, or Roswell Ga, Lwrncvil Ga. ## Hello, Cindy! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. As to your medications, it is doubtful that you will find one doctor that will prescribe them all. Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you need to see a specialist, so for that list, you'll most likely need to see a pain management specialist, as well as a psychiatrist for the Xanax. These medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dr...

I was in a severe accident 24 years ago. Have been on Vicodin ever since. The med allows for a total life. I do yoga, work full time and raised kids successfully. Now the laws are so bad and Dr's are cutting down my meds. I'm barely able to make it to my obligations anymore and am very very depressed. I'm in Southern Oregon and need to find another Dr that will prescribe what I need. I have all the documentation necessary. Please please help this woman who wants to keep being a good citizen and mother to grown kids.

It makes me sick that so many are abusing the pain meds making it difficult for those of us that actually need them. I for one have had 2 Cervical, 10 Lumbar, a Right Reverse Shoulder Replacement and torn cartilage in my right knee.. even on the medications I am still in constant pain..We are treated like Junkies by many which they apparently have no idea what real round the clock pain is. It just irritates The he.. out of me as well as angers me. I know and you know that these doctors know who is in pain and who is not. Yet these that are not in need of them have less problems getting them then we that are in iscrutiong pain.. what's wrong with this picture?
