Doctors Who Will Prescribe Pain Medications In Florida Along The East Coast (Page 3) (Top voted first)

I have "Idiopathic Small Fiber Peripheral Neuropathy" and have been fighting this HORRIFFIC PAIN since Jan 24,2012 and it took till April meeting with my Neurologist (I lived in Atlanta) to have an EMG and then a Biopsy to verify my illness. Then they ran it felt like a million test over and over and I passed all so they could not find the underlying cause so it's spreading quick and PAIN is HARSH!

My Ga Family Practice WROTE ALL MY PAIN MEDS!

I needed to leave Atlanta due to the weather and I chose Ormond Beach next to Daytona BUT AS I TRY TO FIND DRS. DOWN HERE IT IS A NIGHTMARE!! Family Practice DO NOT WRITE SCRIPTS AND IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET IN WITH A 'Pain Mgmt' Dr. Who prob WONT WRITE YOUR SCRIPTS??

I worked up to these for two years and THERE IS NO CURE FOR MY ILLNESS BUT THESE DOSES HAD MEE GETTING UP AND STARTING TO ENJOY LIFE? PLEESE... I SEE VAGRANTS HANGING OUT AT FLAGER STORES SELLING MY SAME PILLS SO SOMEONE IN FLORIDA HAS TO BE WRITING THEM AND I NEED THEM DESPARATELY FOR MY LIFE AND PAIN!! Please HELP!!

Ozwell, When I moved to FL, I was on medicaid. I received a letter immediately saying I was not allowed to keep my straight Medicaid and had a month to choose an HMO or one would be chosen for me. I called in the 3rd week and was told I was already on the forced HMO Florida had chosen. I selected the HMO that I was told was best and both my child and I went to doctors on the HMO list. I reported BOTH doctors as the one my child saw, with ants all over the reception floor said his heart was normal!! He has a murmur that is as loud as a train for God sake. You can hear it without a stethoscope.

My Doctor insisted the ONLY way to prove my condition was an MRI. Since I cannot get an MRI or a Catscan, and my condition was proven. not by me, but by Doctors who did not give me these things to prove it, I reported this doctor too.

Florida defines Malpractice as for example, you have surgery and get paralysis from it. Malpractice ANYWHERE ELSE I HAVE EVER LIVED, is ANYTHING A DOCTOR DOES OR DOES NOT DO THAT ADVERSELY AFFECTS THE PATIENT.

You wait three months as a New patient to see a Doctor and after 90 days, you are stuck on the HMO for a YEAR unless Florida decides you have a valid reason to change your plan. They reviewed my reports, told the Doctor if they have issues clean up their act and told me that they noted my report and found no problems.

OK a year later, I switch HMOS. Again wait to see a Doctor, and stuck on HMO for a year. Same thing, different problems. When the year expired they were making changes to the system and would only let me switch to straight Medicaid which I did. Now no one would take the Medicaid before the system changes and I was not allowed to switch back. When they changed it, FLORIDA PUT US ON THEIR FORCED HMO CHOICE without notice. I call and was told that I had to wait a month.

Meanwhile, no doctor would make an appointment for new patients 3 months later until we were actually switched to the HMO in a month. Four months later we went for appointments. Child has better doctor now and I have the worst group of Doctors I ever dealt with. My conditions was proven AGAIN with Xrays and first they sent me to interventional Pain Management. I did not even know what that was. I made an appointment and as it approached, I called them and asked if I should bring the list pf pain meds I have an allergy to. They said "We don't ever give pain meds". I said..then how the h$L7 are you going to get me out of pain?

They said...nerve blockers, surgery, cortisone shots, acupuncture. I said I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS 12 YEARS AGO ALREADY and it made my condition worse.

Called this doctor and office gave me another NO MEDS pain clinic after 20 phone calls and 2 letters!! They said "We don't know if they are intervention etc.. call your HMO. I called the HMO and they gave me FIVE INTERVENTIONAL PAIN CLINICS. I called the Supervisor of my plan and she said...we don't know, call your Doctor and they should know...grrrrrrrrrrrrr

I then called EVERY pain management on this HMO list and NONE prescribed meds. I found a clinic that after begging and crying were going to see me out of network. I asked my Doctor for a referral. He referred me to another clinic than the one I asked. I went there and I had a list of the allergies I have to meds. The doctor said he was scared of my allergies to PRESCRIBE ME THE MEDS I WAS ALREADY ON BEFORE THAT GOT ME WALKING and I had NO REACTION to.

He said call back if I found documentation. I found an old script bottle and called back. Now they said they would call when they had an available time. One week went by. I called, same thing. Two weeks and 3 weeks and then I called and same thing. At 2 1/2 months, they said.."Oh sorry the Doctor says he can't help you!!!!"

I go back to my Doctor and he finally refers me to the clinic who was taking me out of network. The Dr. I spoke with there was now gone and they refused to take me out of Network now!!! I am now taking my F%#KING FOOD MONEY to PAY cash to a doctor in GA so I can get my oxycodones and tramadol. I AM ON MEDICAID BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO THIS.

DON'T TELL ME IF YOU CAN'T FIND SOMEONE YOU ARENT LOOKING!! ARE YOU ON MEDICARE??? THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE YOU KNOW. Floridas a SCAM STATE. The Politicians here like PAM BONDI enjoy their perks. They have made it so they Doctors can bill Medicaid 1000 times more than before because Medicaid people are their Guinea Pigs and they are the weakest group that can't fight back due to economic hardship, mental disability etc.

Just want to say ty for responding. The hardest thing is that my child is really ill and the most important thing about getting help for me is my kid. I was telling my doctor if I can't walk, I will lose my child. That scares me more than the pain. So thank you. I will try again.

Dear Wow (Post #7),

How dare you wish that the state take away this persons child. The DEA forces Doctors not to write for much needed pain meds and then people who need them are denied the right to be free from pain by the socio-political bias that has so infected the medical community. People who don't have real pain don't normally frequent these sites. They are out getting drugs. And in many instances it is people who were denied pain meds for a legitimate ailment that have turned to street drugs like H to treat their pain. You have obviously never suffered from real pain or you would know that someone who has suffered from debilitating, intractable pain will eventually do ANYTHING to be free from the pain that crushes the soul and ruins their lives.

"Wow" - Go join the over-the-line, ultra-conservative pukes who make living in pain a reality and are the cause of much of the drug problem that is infecting this country.

And by the way: what about the people who suffer from the disease of addiction? What about their pain? Or is that their choice? You're an ill-informed i**** who should have to suffer from a week of real pain so you can have the information before you open your stupid mouth. Clown!

Dr Chowdhari is horrible. He doesnt give any medication unless you are about to die. I had everything proving my condition, he took a U/A to see I wasn't a drug addict and he refused to give me medication. Don't waste your money and time on him. He was reprimanded in court for giving drugs to a drug addict and since that happened he doesn't care about anyone's pain. You can look it up online.

Wow thank you. I did not know this I met someone last week who left Dr. Chowdhari with some pain meds. I have not been to him . I've dealt with Genesis only so I know from experience about them. They put me on the meds I was already on actually cut my doses cuz of Fl law, but I have current MRI of my back its messed up I also have a cyst on my pituatary gland it causes constant head/eye/ facial pain. I've known of patients to have MRI showing some damage and they were prescribed something. They also check if you have an arrest history associated with drugs.

I live in the SE FL in Palm Beach Gardens and my advice to find a decent dr is to use Miami Health system (but now for pain....was told by a compassionate dr there to stay away from hosipital affiliated drs because non can or will prescribe anything for pain mgt above Tramadol and Baclofen for the severe never ending muscle spasms....I really can believe I've been here two years and I finally find a doc to help and he's leaving FL for France so looking again.

But back to drs in FL....be SURE to check reviews, where he studied, years of experience, and his age. Also check to BE SURE to see if he/she is Bd Certified and Licensed in this state.

It's obvious to me that you don't know chronic pain! I've had fibromyalgia and degenerative disc and joint disease for many years. Awaking to pain makes you never want to awake. I also see a therapist, which, by the way, doesn't help the depression that comes from the pain, much less the pain of depression inherited from genetics. Who the hell are you to be telling anyone that their pain isn't real and why or from what they take. Quite frankly, you're no one to judge anyone AND ANYONE can go on here to ask for help from those who actually give a crap so don't waste your time putting people down! Go somewhere where, where your opinion doesn't matter!!

Read the DSM5, there is a difference between an addict and someone being treated with medication for a medical condition.

I agree go back to the state where u were getting your meds normally..i made the mistake of moving to virginia 2 yrs ago from CALI..and made the huge huge mistake of thinking that sure docs will write me for the meds i have been on for over 20 years..i was sooooo soooo wrong nobody out in virginia or carolina writes for anything stronger than tylenol#3 let alone morphine and oxy n stuff like that...so long story ended up with me moving back to CALI back to a pain management doc..i would def. Go to wherever u can get your meds at

I was taken this med for 9 years in North Carolina and moved to Florida in March 2016 and I go to a pain clinic in New Port Richey. My pm doctor has my records but keeps giving me a scrip for Butain 15 mcg patches which makes me sick with chest pain, sleepless, throwing up and I feel like I'm in a fog. Futhermore the patch doesn't last but anout 72 hours and it's a 7 day patch plus it comes off all the time. I can't use anything on my skin but paper tape and this patch is itchy and also breaks me out in bumbs. My pm doctor says "just keep trying it" bull I say to myself when it doesn't Stop my pain plus Won't stay on! Anyone have any suggestions??

I could really use your help. I've been trying for months to find a pain dr near me and I'm having a really hard time. I live in Milledgeville,Ga about 2hours from Atlanta but I would be more than happy to drive to Atlanta 1a month or more if required. I have all of my records including x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, all Drs notes. I've been with the same dr for 32-34 years and he always took good care of me but last October he retired, leaving me in a major bind. No one is willing to write my script for the amount he did. He knows that I have a Super tolerance to pain meds and I suffer from a host of different ailments. Everything is very well documented and I have everything he would need to my a well informed decision about me. I have NO police record, I have always been on time having my scripts filled and I have never had any issues with drug panels but I desperately need help. I hope and pray you can get me some information that can lead me to someone that can help me. Thanks in advance for help.
