hello everyone, glad to have stumbled on to this site.  a little background info on myself. i hurt my back in 2006 and had surgery for a herniated disc shortly after. the surgery went well in the fact that i was able to stand upright again. but the pain continues to be a major problem.  anyhow i have been going to an orthopedic doctor for 10 years now for nerve blocks once a month, and a script of 60 7.5/325 ES along with s0ma. well on my last visit i get my injections and when the hand me my scripts, i noticed they changed  my script to nsaids and a little piece of paper saying "the CDC prolonged  use of scheduled medicines  has no benifits.  after 10 years how can my dr. just up and stop my meds. no explenation no dialog nothing. and with my medical history i shouldnt even be taking nsaids.  i have high blood pressure and long long list of GI problems, and since starting the new meds. i can feel them  eating my stomache up all ready, along with the throbbing of the back of my neck from it elevating my blood pressure. is there any recourse i have? i dont think its my doctor, because he never refused me anything in the past. how can the CDC interfere with the meds my dr prescribes? do you think i have a lawsuit? im past the withdrawl, but my pain continues and its to the point i cannot do the things i need to get done.  this dr. just didnt take my meds but all 300+ patients. is it possible we have a class action suit? or should i just drop it. and get him or my PC, to refer me to a PM clinic? llooking forward on your thoughts and feedback. thanks  everyone.

 
Welcome to DBG. My pcp no longer prescribes any narcotic pain relievers (npr). Instead, they write referrals to pain clinics. The pain clinics are super tough to get npr from, at least in my neck of the woods. Sounds like your doc may have experienced some regulation constraints based off of the change in not only your meds, but all of the patience at the practice. You are in the right place to find a source to replenish your meds. Read everything! I am new too and have been lurking for about a week or so and I am still soaking up info. Happy searching and best wishes. 

 
@busa. Welcome. Sorry to hear about your ordeal. If your pcp does not refer you to a pain specialist. You always have the option to pay cash. I don't know if that works for you. Just do some research because I went to one that plain and simple sucked. I was getting 10mg N from primary and stated I needed more than my usual 30 a month. So the pain specialist gave me 5mg Ns. Same thing I didn't realize until I left. Boy was I pissed. I payed $180 for visit and signed a contract stating that I could not see another physician for pain meds for at least 30 days. 

However, I now go to one that is a lot more sympathetic. So do your research and don't make the same mistake I did. I have to drive about an hour But it is worth it!

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: @WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  4. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  5. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
