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 .
