NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

[rbhs]

Need to find a doctor in the Huntsville or Birmingham AL, area that will prescribe methadone for pain management.   THANKS  MR.  RBHS

In many communities, the only place you can get methadone is through a detox clinic, and you'll have to jump through all kinds of hoops even with them to get it and stay on it.  Because you need methadone for pain management and not detox, I don't think that would be a good route for you to take.  Methadone clinics are in the business of making money off narcotic addicts - not in dealing with chronic pain.  Why do you need methadone in particular?  Have other meds not worked for you?

Because oxycotin and lorcet I have taken in the past. The only medicine that will help me has been methadone.

I don't know about Huntsville or Birmingham, but there are 3 different doctors in Gadsden, Alabama (which is halfway inbetween H'ville and B'ham) that prescribe Methadone for Pain Management,  Sailsbury at Rainbow Pain Management, Connor at PWCC and Muratta at Southeastern.  (I wouldn't suggest the latter because when he gets disgruntled he cuts off his patients meds COLD TURKEY, and he likes to give lots of unnecessary procedural shots (ie: epidurals. caudals etc.)

Pain Management clinics are hard to get into if you don't have a referral and good records.  Good LUCK
