Doctors Who Prescribe Pain Killers In Philadelphia (Page 63) (Top voted first)

Updated

Hi,

My current doctor has decided that it would be best to stop my monthly prescription for 30mg percocets. I have chronic back pain from skiing injuries and other sports related problems. I have never abused or taken more than was suggested. I never got "high" and was always able to work and interact with clients in a positive way. Now without the medication, the pain is becoming a distraction. Does anyone know a doctor who isn't scared to prescribe common pain killers. They are produced for a reason, but recent uptake in illegal abuse has made doctors uneasy with long term prescriptions? I live in the Philadelphia area (main line) but I am familiar with the greater Philadelphia metro area. Thank you and kind regards.

I just recently moved to Philadelphia...Had no clue of "dr shopping", afraid I may be at risk. Had an appt with the 1st Dr I seen last week, but went to 2 others only because I found out he wasn't really treating my fibromyalgia just giving me the meds they usually give for this condition. I changed my Dr from him to a real PCP @ Chestnut Hill, waiting in him to fill my Rx but it's been a week, left messages, requested refill online, nothing yet. Called this am they said he's in & will let him know it's for urgent refill for klonopin & tramadol. I don't even take heavy stuff!! I don't need morphine, Oxy, nothing line that...Sheesh, anybody know a Dr that look @ my records and give me those atleast? Serious pain & withdrawal of either can cause seizures...

I was wondering if you ever considered botox injections for your migraines. I have a rare neurological disease and wanted to try botox in my leg muscles which is one thing that may help with the spasticity. I went to dr lee dresser at st francis hospital in wilmington, delaware, and he said he mostly goves botox for migraine headaches. I dont have migraines and never heard of it but i thought i would mention it

I would check with your insurance company, they will have a list on their pain management list.

When chronic pain sets in, most people immediately look in their medicine cabinet or rush to the drugstore. But medication usually offers only temporary pain management relief — it's not going to stop the pain or cure what's causing it. Fortunately, there are many approaches available through pain management specialists who can provide you with better pain management strategies rather than prescribing narcotic pain medication. I have had a 96% success rate with my patients who complain of chronic pain, without starting them on narcotic pain medicine.

Pain Management: Acupuncture

One of the oldest pain management techniques is the Chinese practice of acupuncture. Tiny needles, placed in specific points along the body, are proven to help alleviate chronic pain. One large study of people with knee osteoarthritis found that acupuncture provided significant pain relief when medications couldn't. But the study did find that acupuncture must be used long-term for the maximum effect; most of the time, it took at least 14 weeks to appreciate the results.

Pain Management: Massage

When doesn't a massage feel good? Massage also offers therapeutic benefits for chronic pain management: From deep tissue massage to more gentle techniques, massage can help relax muscles and sore tissues and ease chronic pain. One recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine volume 17 found that the benefits of massage in easing lower back pain may last for six months or longer. My studies have also shown that neck, shoulders, legs and arms have proven beneficial to this type of treatment.

Pain Management: Physical Therapy

Physical therapy teaches you how to gently move and stretch your muscles and work your joints to strengthen them, which will help alleviate pain. Unlike medication, physical therapy can actually help treat the underlying source of your pain, whether it's arthritis or another condition, and will help chronic pain improve over time. Physical therapy may include water therapy, such as working muscles in a pool or whirlpool. Physical therapy also includes regular exercise, and working with pain specialists trained in physical therapy can teach you the right way to exercise to alleviate pain, not increase it. A January 2012 article in Annals of Internal Medicine volume 8 found that doing home exercises taught by physical therapists was more helpful for neck pain than drugs.

Pain Management: Hot and Cold Therapy

Heat therapy boosts blood flow to areas of the body in pain due to inflammation, and allows muscles to relax. You can apply a heating pad or a heat wrap, or relax in a hot bath for pain management, which can soothe body and soul.

Cold therapy can also be useful in pain management. By slowing blood flow to a painful joint, swelling is reduced and nerves aren't able to quickly send messages of pain. Applying ice, a cold wrap, or a cold pack can ease a flaring, painful joint.

Pain Management: Therapy for the Mind

Anxiety, stress, and depression can aggravate chronic pain, so it's important not to ignore the emotional side of your pain. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, which can teach you how to manage thoughts and feelings and your body's physical response, can effectively manage chronic pain. This is my main focus in my practice, Biofeedback is another method that teaches you how to control your body's reactions to pain, while hypnosis allows deep relaxation to help with pain management. There are many doctors in many cities throughout North America which offer these therapies. My practice is located in Toronto, Canada but I have colleagues in many cities throughout the United States.

Pain Management: TENS Treatment

By electrically stimulating the area where the pain is localized, you can actually help alleviate it. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, or TENS, is the electrical stimulation technique most often used in pain management. A small device attached to the skin sends electrical impulses to the painful area, stimulates the nerves, and as a result, reduces pain.

I am a doctor that cares about chronic pain and pain management without narcotics. You don't have to live with chronic pain or rely on a bottle of pills for the rest of your life. Addiction is a horrible thing and, left untreated, will control your life. Remember that opiates metabolize in the liver and works by sending signals to your brain. After a long period of time, your brain will not react as well to the drugs and thus addiction sets in. There are so many pain management options to choose from that by consulting with your doctor, you're sure to find a method that works to control your pain. I wish you well.
