In Portland you get a referral from your regular dr to a pain Clinic and they will prescribe the narcotic pain medication.

Seems as though many here are seeking opiates rather than going in to a doctor and allowing them to make the call. Narcotics are a terrible choice and there are many other medications you can take. If the doctor you are seeing thinks that opiates are the best choice than they will let you know. Sad that so many seem hell bent on getting a medication that is highly regulated without wanting to go through the proper protocol. That in itself screams "drug seeking"

You will have to make a police report, and take the info to your doctor. Sometimes you will get one chance for this kind of issue. They may air may not give you a short supply to get you through. Besides that, there is nothing that I know of without violating your Pain contract.

Yes, there are seekers, and abuser's. But there are doctors that will not prescribe scheduled substances to a patient that may need them. Or have already been on them, but just don't want the hassle of prescribing. Like for instance my situation, I had been on on them for about 6 years, when I moved from Washington, to Oregon. And I had all my records sent to new doc. My health plan refered me to him, "said he was internal medicine, and prescribed such meds. But when I had my appointment that wasn't the case. So I was put on Tramadol, which did nothing at all for my pain. I have rheumatism, blood clotting factor v Leiden. Scoliosis, degenerate C spine. I ended up going to a methadone clinic for a year. All that and then my doc had a change of heart all the sudden because my liver enzymes went way up, and I gained 40lbs. Got leg clot and started using injected blood thinners. So it seems I went through all of that,and it should have never took that much to be treated with my original meds that works very well for me. I have seen patients that were turned away that got desperate then became seekers. Many that were in the same situations. I try not to label people, you haven't walked a mile in their shoes.

You HAVE to make the Police report as Miss T indicated. Good luck and will you please let me know a Doctor who may work with me? I've got documentation going years back, like 14 years back!
Just as Miss T,I had to go to a methadone clinic because I too moved from Washington. I can't stand it! I don't want to go in everyday, it is such a hassle and my job has just about had it with me for being late. Help please (?)

I now live in Salem Or. The Salem Clinic/mission st. Clinic is treating me for my pain. The two main doctors there prescribe such meds. And they have a few PA 's there that you can see for common illness. And they are very good to chronic pain patients. You live in Portland area though? I wish I knew more about the physicians in that area. Has your methadone clinic tried to help at all with finding a doc? Are you insured? If you are calling your insurance ask them for a list of chronic pain docs. Are you seeing a doctor regularly? Pull your medical records. Look through every page. Before you see a new doc. Just in case you have been labeled at all for going to clinic etc. It never hurts to be informed about your records.

Dr. Baculli, and Dr. Brown. Salem clinic on mission st. Salem or. 503-399-2424. Pa's L. Iwatsuki. And a few others. But that should be a good start! The methadone clinic I went to for a year. Was Willamette valley treatment center. Salem or. My Wvch health plan helped me tremendously with finding a doctor in my network. For pain management. Good luck with everything. I know the m-done clinic is a pain to deal with! Especially having to wait to get weekly doses, and so forth. I don't know much about Portland area. What about ohsu? Or providence groups?

Good luck! Pain is a debilitating situation to live with and being severely ill on top makes it even worse. I recommend taking all your US 's to a new physician showing you've been compliant but honestly speaking, they don't give a s*** how much pain your feeling. Its a God complex ! Unless they experience severe pain and crying for relief, lol? They could care less! Pretty sure they make" pain " medication for P-A-I-N!? They also love to single patients out! If you have money and great insurance? You have no pain. If your on s***ty health insurance and no money? They don't care. You get what you pay for. If you work for providence or Kaiser etc? Your never in pain or suffering. I hate doctors and what they have done to me, how they have treated me, letting me rott in my bed and suffering to an extent that I wish I was dead! I think if an arrogant and uncaring doctor is prescribing pain meds to wealthy patient's , than ALL patients need to be treated with the same care, treatment, management and dignity! Period! Or, take ALL of their meds away and let them ALL suffer! Our healthcare is bulls*** and double standard! Its pretty sad to see so many people suffering when it can be avoided. Not all of us are fu***** drug addicts or pill seekers.The doctor should be smart enough to figure that out. Maybe when a patient takes their own life to avoid suffering, they will start to respect the patients who do suffer and only want to feel some " physical" RELIEF

I feel for you and I am sorry you can't get the medication you need to live a more fruitful life. I have a very good Providence insurance plan that I pay 1600.00 a month for out of my own pocket and I still cant get the pain medications I used to get. I don't think its the Doctors but the government that is riding their asses so hard that it makes them afraid to prescribe medications that people need.

I just wanted 2 post an update on my situation in the hope that it may be helpful.First of all, please don't give up hope on finding help! Like most of you I've been through hell!(see previous post) Broke my back in car accident, had a number of surgeries & was on pain meds for years. My Dr. Closed his practice & shortly after I got pregnant. I was dumped in a methadone clinic for the past 1& 1/2 years. With the help of the clinic I was finally able 2 find a Dr. Willing 2 work w/me. Nothing about the process was quick or easy & I've had 2 go down on my pain meds significantly. However, I am finally out of the clinic! There were times when I felt I would never get help & I was turned down by a lot of drs b4 I found one even willing 2 listen 2 my crazy situation. Please keep being an advocate for yourselves & I wish you all the best of luck in the new year!

I just love how they throw the phrase "drug seeking" around so freely. Once that's entered into the system you're screwed. I've been on pain contacts for years due to severe musculoskeletal and neurological conditions as well as advanced stage liver disease. I went to several clinics with what was left of my meds and all my records. Finally a nurse practitioner have me enough to last until I could see my newly assigned PCP. Even my liver specialist told me to just deal with withdrawal until I could see the PCP 3 weeks later. Docs in Portland don't care! Something MUST be done about the failure to provide these much needed meds when justified and needed. It's a travesty.
