Re: Re: Another question for !!

[Guest guest]

My question for you is, how do you find out if a doctor will

prescribe this type of drug without sounding like you are some kind

of drug addict? I just don't know what the proper way of handling

this is and until a therapy that I can tolerate is found, I can't

live with severe pain. It seems that younger doctors don't believe in

pain meds - especially narcotics and believe me, if I could take

something lesser, I truly would. I just don't tolerate much of

anything. Please help!!! Thank you - thank you - thank you!!

I hope you find someone to help. I am real lucky in that my pcm does not

believe in pain meds, but my Rumy does and he always asks if I need a refill on

my pain meds since he told me that I will always have pain, some days

tolerable and some not.

Hi there,

Well, I appreciate your advice BUT I live in a small town, there is no pain

clinics as I have checked and my PCP won't prescribe pain meds. He just doesn't

believe in them. Once when I was in the hospital with one of my SIX seperate

shoulder dislocations, which at that time also included a fractured shoulder, I

was given something in the hospital by him or cohort. So, I am going to have to

see a doc out of town for help. As I have kept saying, if I can just get into a

tolerable RA treatment, I probably wouldn't need to ask. Or at least that is my

goal!

But thanks for thinking of me. Somehow, someway, things will work out. I just

have to stay my positive self and not let this get me down!!!

Have a good afternoon

D.

I tend to have the same problem finding a doctor who doesn't see you

as an addict, but someone with a chronic pain disease. My PCP is

willing to give me narcotics, for that I am gratefull. Most

rheumatologists won't prescribe you narcotics, but I would suggest

you see a pain management doctor.

I have seen them before in the past and they have been more willing

to prescribe pain meds because they seen patients who haven't gotten

relief from conventional means (medications, therapies, etc). Hope

this helps. Best of luck to you.

another doctor, I need to be able to get pain medication until a

suitable drug therapy is found for me. Now, so you know a bit about

me, I am not the typical patient. I am unable to take NSAID's and I

have been thru just about every drug available and I either had no

reaction, an allergic reaction or severe side effects. My last RA

doctor finally found that percocet worked on me, taking the edge off

the pain and I was able to tolerate it. I have always taken a very

low dose.
