Hi i am 53 year old mail 7 years ago had a bi level spinal fusion the operation consisted of incisions in my stomach ,back and left hip my pain since the surgery has been so bad there are days i cant walk . I was at a pain clinic where for the 6 years i was being treated with 100 mitagram  Fentynal patch and 7-15miligram oxycodone a day it got to the point that i was on so much medication i felt sick but it got to the point the meds were not helping . I decided to wean off of the meds to find alternative medications found a pain doctor that suggested trying 20-30mg of methadone twice a day amazingly it helped greatly and for the last year i have felt better physically and mentally. Now the problem my doctor died suddenly at the end of November 2013 the other doctor in the office filled in for a couple of weeks on December 20th he gave me a prescription for 30 days a week and a half later a got a call saying he did not want to deal with prescribing methadone that i needed to find a new doctor . I found a new doctor who my first visit was Jan 13th new doctor wont prescribe pain meds wants me to go to pain clinic cant get appointment for a consult until the 24th of Jan and have no pain meds . Not sure what to do have been on pain medications for 12 years and I honestly cant find anyone to help or with any advise. Called original doctor today at the advise of new promary care to ask for a two week prescription until pain management what are the doctors obligation to treat me in the interim. Any help would be appreciated .

Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms, and it is unfortunate that you are unable to get pain medications from your current doctor and your appointment with pain specialist is a few days later. In the meanwhile, you can request your current doctor to give you a few days of prescription of pain medications. You can also take OTC pain medications. Tramadol and flirting are other medications that could help reduce your pain. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
