Need Understanding Pain Management Doctor

B.,
I do not know of a pain management doc in this area that I can recommend from experience; however, I can recommend using AmeriPlan (discount health plans) until you are able to get insurance. There are pain management physicians in the AmeriPlan network and you would be able to get major discounts on your prescriptions also. Parents Magazine (May 08) listed AmeriPlan as one of the top 3 ways to save money on medical expenses. The Dental plan is only $15/mo for an individual (only $20 for entire household), which provides discounts on vision, prescription and chiropractic care also. The medical plans are only $30 to $60/mo. Check them out at www.DNShealth.net I can answer any questions you may have. ~ N.

I use to go to a Pain Management Dr. in Fort Worth. I don't know about the insurance part. I would call and tell them your situation before you go there. If you need the Dr.'s name, let me know and I can get it for you.

My husband used to see Dr. Scott Berlin who had an office in Arlington.

Any doctor who would prescribe pain medication, especially narcotics, without a thorough exam should be highly suspect. If your doctor in California has contacts here, I'd recommend you see that doctor even if the doctor is in Dallas. If the two doctors have a professional relationship, your life will be a lot less hassle.

Specialists are expensive as are the tests. We've been without insurance since the first of the year and my husband has chronic pain syndrome resulting from back problems. If your pain issues are related to chronic back pain, e-mail me and I'll tell you more about his current treatment.

Hello!
So sorry about your pain! Fish oil has helped our family a lot with pain ,etc. I have heard that Valerian herb helps also.
I think that you would have to take these every hour for relief.
Blessings to you and prayers for pain relief!
Sincerely,

You might find that some alternative methods such as acupuncture would really help & be better for you than your pain meds. Yes, it is really difficult to get pain medication, but depending on your income, you could be seen at hopefully a reduced price through the county hospital--John Peter Smith. They do have clinics around once you have gotten involved with them. Alternative methods did end up being our best solution when we didn't have insurance.
