Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I live in Aurora,Colorado and suffer from many things that cause me chronic pain for the last 17 years. I am now taking 10 10/325 generic percocet after a bad fall landing me against my refridgerator corner causing a fractured pelvis that won:t heal. My current Dr. is an internal specialist. When I saw him 2 weeks ago he told me to go to a pain clinic for my meds but there are no pain clinics here that have a doctor that will prescribe meds. They only do PT...which I have been doing at home for 17 years. I don:t know what to do or where to turn. I have not been able to find a pain Dr. to help me & I can t walk without my meds. Any suggestions? Do you want a list of my problems?
You told you have got chronic pain because of your fractured pelvis. Medications can do help you but some procedures will help you greater than you might think.
I am an anaesthesiologist basically and I do epidural infiltrations and many autonomic blocks basically.
In your locality anaesthesiologist may be definitely there since they are running all surgeries required. kindly ask them about the procedure and get it done. It will give you 6 months of relief.
At least a fentanyl patch will help you more and can be asked for dosage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr ARCHANA, Anesthesiologist
