So my othrodpedic doctor told me to stop coming to him on the 9th of this month. Said there wasnt nothing left he could do for me. Wrote me my last 2 week script off percocet, a referal for pain management and physical therapy.
Since then , my insurance will only cover one pain management clinic near me. So i had my dr's receptionist fax all my stuff over there last friday(xrays,notes on last visits,referal to pain management, ) so they said the dr needs to review my records then decide if i can be a patient. I scheduled an appoint for physical therapy in the 29th(hospital is only ppl who take va premier, and it was the soonest appointment)
Well i run out of my 2 week script on this Tuesday coming out. I called the pain management clinc and they couldn't tell me yet if i was accepeted. Im panicking bcs ive been on oxycodone 5 mg, 2 pills, every 6 hours for 5 months. I get 120 every 14 days.
What do i do? I dont have a primary physician. And even if i did see my moms primary ,he wont prescribe narcotics i think.
How long do these reviews take? How am i suppose to start physical therapy to learn how to walk again with nothing to manage the pain? No pills,no injections, i dont even have a pain doctor at the moment, just my last percocets, that i need for relief!
I doubt the e.r. can do much. I called my insurance and they said i could go to a pain management dr and pay out of pocket, they'll cover the script. But out of experience could anyone see me that fast?
I never have had this happen to me before, i got hit by a car in October, and got alot of injuries, im trying to stretch them out as long ws i can, but motrin only does so much, and diflonac.
What are my options? I understand why my doctor didn't want to see me anymore, i get there's alot of controversy with pain meds from the fda and media but idk what to do. Im trying my best with what i have, and get to physical therapy too. But chronic pain is a bitch.(i am no way asking for help on how to get pankillers, i just want to know what ppl r suppose to do in my situtation)plz no cynical advice.
