Hello, Doctor. I am a 45 year old diabetic with severe neuropathy (have taken a nerve test given by a neurologist), and I ve lost 3 toes already. I am currently in wound care to treat a large ulcer and osteomyelitis on my remaining big toe--treatment includes hyperbaric and IV meds thru a picc line. I also see a pain management specialist. He prescribes me Lyrica, Morphine ER 60mg 1-2 every 12 hrs., and Oxycodone 15mg for breakthrough pain. I am thinking about relocating to Rhode Island due to family issues and because I d be living with a nurse with 20 years experience who could help me manage my condition. However, I am fully aware that this country (perhaps with some reason) has developed a paranoia about prescribing pain meds and we ve let the government take over what SHOULD be a doctor s job. I am very anxious about making this move, because you can t just call doctor s in another state and say: Hi, I need Morphine and Oxycodone. Is that okay? and you ALSO can t pay for a round of consultations to see who the right doctor is. My pain doctor helped write Florida s controlled substance laws (he also has a law degree and works in consulting) so I m comfortable he s not overprescribing. What do you suggest I do to find a doctor before I run out of the meds I will be taking with me to move?
