i also have had similar issues throughout the years...due to our health insurance it is very difficult to find a new doctor willing to prescribe narcotics....your best immediate bet is go to a methadone/suboxone clinic or pain management clinic...they only take cash but will help you immediately...your best bet at this point is suboxone...it will help with your pain ,elliminate withdrawels....but you must wait 12 hours after you take any opiates or you will go into withdrawels immediately....get directions from your doctor at these clinics...after 2 to 4 weeks you will be off pain meds and will give you time to find a doctor...its going to cost about $250 first visit and 50 to 85 per week...suboxone will give you energy and take away your pain but do not take opiates during this treatment...it takes away so much stress and worrying while you can still function normally.....Also methadone is the cheapest and one of the best meds for pain and lasts long...my pharmacist said he would recommend that over oxys...sometimes these clinics try to keep you on these meds too long and they will bleed you dry...use your judgement you can tell when your feeling better and clean....it may be cheaper where you live..everything here is expensive...i had my doubts at first but it works or i wouldnt suggest it
HI there, I'm sorry about your issues. A few suggestions, first, taper the meds you have left. If you take 3 a day, drop it down to one and so on, it will make the withdrawals a little easier. Withdrawals wont kill you but it will feel like you have the flu. Make sure you get Imodium and drink lots of water.
Second, go to the places where the tests were performed, like for example the facility where you had your MRI, x-rays etc. they should be able to give you a copy and a copy of the reports, even if you can't get your records from that one doctor who moved out of town.
Next, get a printout from your pharmacy showing a list of your meds for the past few years or however far back they go. after that, work on tracking down that doctor and see about getting your regular records. He has a license so go to the state's boards to see where he's practicing at, they usually will have an address as well.
That's all I can think of at the moment and I have to run, but that should get you started and I'm sure other folks will be along to offer advice. good luck and let us know how it turns out.
