Guest guest Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hi, I just wanted to recommend a doctor that I go to. His name is Dr. Lehman and he is located in Indianapolis, IN. I currently live in TN and travel 5 hours to see him. I always find him compassionate, understanding and very nice and easy to talk to. He has never questioned my pain, instead is always trying to make me comfortable. He is one of the top endoscopist in the country and his specialty is within the biliary system, pancreas, etc. Alot of other people on this board go to him too. I am originally from the NJ/PA area. I do plan on moving back to the area in the next 1-2 years. I will still continue to travel to Indiana to see him. He is the only doctor that I completely trust with my SOD and CP. His name is in the files or you can post again here and someone will give you his phone number. Good Luck and take care Kris in TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I just wanted to that you all for your help. I went to my family doctor this morning and he gave me donnatol elixir. he said that would help with the pain attacks until i can get to a specialist. I have never heard of this medication. can anyone help me???? I would love to have the contact information for both of these doctors. You are all so wonderful here. this is the best support group i have ever belonged to. I have felt very scared recently about these attacks. I have them when im driving sometimes and im worried of what will happen if the pain continues to get worse during the attacks. Thanks again for your help.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hi Susie, In the far reaches of my memory, that isn't so good these days, I seem to remember Donnatol as a vaey old time analgesic. I do think it is narcotic, maybe opeium or moraphine based. I have not heard of it in years. Likely side effects could well be upset stomach and/or constipation. However at one time it was a most effective pain releiver. As I recall it was a compounded medicine, mixed as individual perscription was ordered, if you need to have a script filled by a pharmacy you may need to confirm that a particular pharmacy has the capability to fill the perscription. As i recall, this was also a medicine to affect diahrea and teething problems in babies at one time. Best wishes, Poncho - GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Poncho: wow!! that doesn't sound very good then does it??? I take percocet 10/650 for my herniated disc but it doesn't seem to help very much when the attack occurs. What do you take for pain attacks if you dont mind me asking?????? i realize that a lot of doctors around here are not very knowledgeable about these things. He has told me that he has no doubt that it is a horrible problem. He also said he has heard how painful it can be. I just want some relief from the pain. Hopefully the specialist will be of more help than my family doctor. thank you so much for your help!!!! Susie - south jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
