While I wait for Coinbase to verify my account I thought I’d see if anyone here has thoughts regarding my f2f issue with pain clinic.  First off I’ve had chronic pain due to recurring pain after cervical fusion nearly 20 years ago and had been prescribed strong pain meds including fentanyl patch and oral oxy 15 mg 6x a day.  In Spring of 2018 new doc I saw in Oregon cut me off patches (cold turkey) and decreased Oxy’s to 4 a day.  After so many years on such high doses of opioids looking back I’m glad she did that because I agree I was on much more than necessary.  In September of 2018 I moved to another state and into a new pain clinic and after a number of months was asked by PA to go in for 6 weeks Physical Therapy so Medicare would pay for a new MRI.  Due to me being the only person able to work and having just started a new job I wasn’t able to do PT at that time as my schedule was on day to day basis so no idea what my hours would be.  Pain Doc stated  until I was able to complete PT and get MRI he could no longer prescribe pain meds. Fair enough and at that time June 2019 I was only taking meds extremely sparingly so had quite a few squirreled away.  Fast forward to September and I was having extreme pain flare ups to the point of being in near constant pain.  I went in and saw my GP (didn’t ask for pain meds) but felt it was time to try PT and get MRI.  After completing PT and getting new MRI was now diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease and referred back to Pain Clinic and to see Neurosurgeon.  Called to get into Pain doc but was over month before he could get me in, 2 months for Neuro (argh)!  So at that point I’m in serious pain and ask GP for something until I see pain doc.  She prescribes 30 days of Tramadol to get me by (better than ibuprofen I guess).  So I see Pain Doc who now then says I violated contract because I got Tramadol from GP (oh my goodness) I say there was nothing else I could due but suffer a whole extra month (what the frick).  He also says they will get me in for an injection but must get prior authorization then will discuss pain meds. I wait a month and hear nothing, call leaving messages twice, no call back.  Then my insurance is cancelled since I make too much money fair enough but Pain Clinic NEVER tried to get authorization!!!  By now it’s January and I’m still miserable, have no insurance, call Pain Clinic to get in and talk to PA and ask what can I do now.  Guess what he won’t even see me until I have injection and had them cancel my appointment!  I ask why and she says cuz I got Tramadol from GP.  I was livid and asked why someone didn’t call me back about injections or try and get authorization, she says I’m sorry I don’t know what happened....

After going through all this I’m disgusted with them and don’t know what to do.  I’ve always prided myself on being told what a great patient I am never asking for early fills and always letting other Doctor know exactly what meds I’m on..  Now I’m even afraid to see my GP......

 
I'm so sorry you are going through all this. It sounds typical of today's environment. That's part of the reason so many are here. I don't have any recommendations for you but wish you the best of luck. 

 
@TmD1968 I'm just reading your post & curious what ever happened with your situation?  What a sad story & such a shitty thing their doing to you.  One thing I have learned over time is to keep moving forward & you will find a Dr. with empathy & compassion who will be able to pull his/her head out of her ass & give you the help you deserve!

  1. R @ Royboy99: Grateful that this site exists and realizing that trying to save a few bucks today may cost me so much more in the future …
  2. R @ Royboy99: The hardest hit was losing my girl , and I still feel the tremendous heartache everyday, over a year later … knowing that I caused it all. She gave me 4 chances and I let her down everytime … I use Diaz and kpins going on year now for my panic attacks, ptsd and anxiety. With no issues and see a therapist weekly
  3. R @ Royboy99: Destroyed bonds that took me 10+ years to form , over 160k in medical billing… all in result of 6 months of RC use. Now I’m forever labeled a out of control addict that needs to be monitored… lost my girl too in result :(
  4. R @ Royboy99: Gravely underestimating the psychological impacts , I destroyed my reputation, relationships and spent a year in and out of detox and rehab
  5. R @ Royboy99: ..
  6. R @ Royboy99: Jesus fent in a addy press? So basically attempted murder? Fuck is wrong with people
  7. O @ ondyismiolip: Has anyone ever got Fent in an adderall press?
  8. LatsDoodis @ LatsDoodis: That’s funny people are mentioning the klepomanazepam phenomenon. I was actually briefly in some sort of patient data study on this, but was not recruited as I don’t experience amnesia or episodic antisocial, impulsive-behavioral disordered tendencies and out of character crime sprees. They just dent the tremendous suffering that’s underscored my life and I had a few years of true reprieve before tolerance began to return the old way of “it’s always a catastrophe” with “plus, benzo habit” lol!
  9. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: @Bodix lol glad it isn’t just me. And yes I did unfortunately drive backwards down the front of the airport (one way). Thank the security guard looked past my error and my droopy face and kindly asked me to turn around. Lmao easily could’ve ended up in jail
  10. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: Freedom!!!!
  11. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: Happy Presidents day!!!!
  12. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Hope everyone had/or is still enjoying their weekend! happy presidents day
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: Like the old joke “I’m allergic to benzos every time I take em I break out in handcuffs” heh heh
  14. Bodix @ Bodix: @Realbenzeyes, I knew a chick that would pop half a bar and rob you but off them like you wouldn’t take a stick of gum it’s because benzos especially strong doses take away the part of your brain that thinks of the consequences
  15. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: No clue why but kpins make me steal and get shitty everytime. This is coming from a guy who wouldn’t steal a candy bar from the store. I’m way too scared to steal from stores but those fkers get me everytime. (Usually a drink, food etc) nothing major. Just dumb shit
  16. Bodix @ Bodix: @army13$ I bought 10 grams of clam in 21 and did the most stupid shit over than time I was taking atleast 5mg at a time and I remember barely remember most of it I fail in the show and broke my ribs, fell asleep nightly in my food so I started mixing it with 4c and that was not a smart move I wanted to fight everyone
  17. Bodix @ Bodix: The tv benzos are so much weaker and safer than my on and off again relapses of rcs from 21-23 years ago I would of already by now either got fired or arrested and total amnesia that doesn’t exist anymore which is probably a good thing
  18. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: who knows, maybe some chemical companies will open back up down the road, be patient.
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Will SR be back eventually or y’all think it’s dead and gone. I truly hope not. Kicking myself hard for not getting some before it disappeared taking it’s availability for granted 🤦
  20. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: XMR bros be chillin
