My wife was prescribed high doses of Hydrocodone over a period of three years, due to multiple back surgeries.

I had a total knee replacement 2 months ago. I’m still home recovering. My surgeon is greatly decreasing my pain meds and I’d like to find a pain management doctor that understands. I have Regence BCBS insurance. Thank you,

I need more than I can get from Yahoo Answers. I have a sore shoulder, and need more answers. Can you recommend a website?

doctors even though they tell them they are currently seeing one and have a contract with him/her stating that they are not receiving any pain medication from any other doctor?

Has anyone had this experience or knows of someone who has?

Thank you for your answers.

I have a chronic back ailment and have lost my insurance after 6 years of treatment , mostly with medicine and physical therapy. I moved home to Louisiana after losing my inurance and going thru a divorce, finding myself with less money, alot of pain ,no help with the bills and doctors telling me to go to a pain clinic . The ones i have talked to so far are either too expensive (600 monthly) or insurance only.

Do they test for each kind of opiate medication you are prescribed or just for opiates period?

Do they just test it at the office? Do they write down the last time the person took their medications? If they say the test was fine, do they still send it off for more testing? Why would a person have to initial the urine cup?

I am currently taking 80mg of celexa a day and it seems to be helping. But, I do have a pain management problem and whenever this occurs I get more and more depressed. Does anybody else have this problem?

Also what would be the correct dosage when switching from 60mg oxycontin to methadone. The docs put me on 30mg & that was ok for about the first month. I’m thinking either 60 which would be 2 three times a day or 40 one four times a day.
