Back Pain Management
Looking for pain management clinic in L.A. that will prescribe oxycontin for chronic back pain when indicated?
New to L.A. and a lot of MD’s won’t prescribe because of abuse problems. Very effective med when taken properly, as I took it before and very hard to get now.
Do you have a full and complete copy of your medical records from your previous doctor(s)?? If you can show the new doctors (via well documented medical records) that you have a chronic probelm, and that you have taken oxycontin in the past, they may be a lot more willing to consider prescribing it for you. Of course, it’s always good to have a full and complete copy of your medical records when you move and need to find a new doctor (for any medical problems, not just for chronic pain patients).
Have you been looking only at pain management doctors/clinics? Many chronic pain patients get their pain treatments from their primary care doctor, or from the specialist that treats their medical condition. If you have a primary care doctor, ask him/her if they would feel comfortable treating your pain (either on a permanant basis, or on a temporary basis until you can find a good PM doctor/clinic).
Have you gone to any local support groups in your area? Many times, you can get recommendations about good doctors from local patients – and a good place to find local patients is at local support groups. If they do not have a local support group that is specific to your medical condition, consider finding and joining one that is for support for a similar condition.
Have you called the area hospitals to ask them for a recommendation to a local pain management doctor/clinic? What about your local pharmacy? Many times, the local pharmasists know the most about the local doctors and are able to offer the best recommendations.
Also, remember that the way you phrase your questions when you call the local PM doctors/clinics is important. If you ask specifically about oxycontin (or ask specifically about any medication), they will usually say NO simply because they are worried that you are an addict and not a patient…. try calling and saying “I am new to this area and I am looking for a PM doctor who uses many different pain treatments. I usually respond well to non-medication treatments, but because I occasionally need medication for a short period of time, I am looking for a doctor who is not against prescribing medications occasionally.” That will often provide more honest answers from the staff than asking specifically about a certain medication, and you will be more likely to find a doctor/clinic that is willing to prescribe medications when necessary — because as we all know, some pain management places will not prescribe any medications for any reason (these are the clinics/doctors that will give you tons and tons of spinal injections, but never prescribe anything stronger than Advil).
I hope that helps, and I hope you are able to find and get proper treatment for your pain.
