I HAVE DEGENERATIVE DISK DISEASE IN MY THORACIC SPINE WITH A COUPLE OF DEGEN. VERTABRAES AND BONE SPURS BETWEEN THEM. I HAVE BEEN TREATED FOR A COUPLE YEARS AND I GET 120 NORCOS PER MONTH. THEY LAST ABOUT 2 AND A HALF WEEKS AND THEN I AM WD'ing AND IN CONSTANT PAIN. MY DOC (pain management dr.) WILL NOT GICE ME PERCOCET BECAUSE HE SAYS IT IS FOR CANCER PAIN AND I NEED TO STAY ON WHAT I HAVE. I WANT TO FIND OUT IF I ORDER FROM A OP WITH CONSULTATION, WILL I GET IN TROUBLE? SHOULD I TELL CONSULTING DOC THAT I AM CURRENTLY BEING TREATED WITH 120 NORCO THAT DOESNT WORK? SHOULD I LIE? WILL MY NAME GO IN A DATABASE AND GET IN TROUBLE? WILL MY PAIN DOC FIND OUT? PLEASE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE.....

sorry, but i am new and didn't know which section it was best suited for. i have posted on other forums before and waited a couple of weeks to get a reply. i guess i thought if it was in two places, twice as many people would see it and maybe help me. i had no idea the members here on pw were so nice and waiting to help someone. i already have respect for pw and all of it's members thanks and i know i can count on all of you for advice. Sincere regards, Lee

Hi Lee, and welcome.
I really feel for you and your situation. Sorry, I won't be of much help, but I know others will, and maybe you have receive some PM's already, I hope.

Not sure about the databases. I personally don't think you should tell your PMD, he may cut you off, but I maybe would try and get 2 different meds, instead of the same meds, incase of a database, and never double dip online, if it happens to be sister sites or use the same pharmacy then you could be found out.

Plus, if you have multiple packages coming I believe I read somewhere that FEDEX/ UPS have been ask to tell authorities, but I read that about a women getting like 10-15 packs a week, and I believe she was dealing. That sort of thing.

I'm not in your siyuation, but I'm sure others here are, so give it a bit, and I believe you will get some good advice.

thanks for the info. i am with you on the part about getting a diff. med than norco. i was kinda thinking that if i ordered 7.5's or 10/500 instead of 10/325 i would be ok since it's different. if anyone has ever had to do this let me know. and please feel free to pm me anytime. thanks

Sorry, I hit the wrong button again. See my response below. PB

Hey I am new here and I am having the same problem as you are. I have S-I joint dysfunction as well as problems with my sciatic nerve. I am in constant pain and have been to MANY doctors. I am currently getting 90 vicodin es a month, well that lasts me about two and a half weeks and then i am miserable. I go to a pain management center and even though S-I Joint Dysfunction is one of the most painful, serious problems you can have that is all the pain meds they will give. I have tried EVERYTHING and the vicodin helps the most, but 90 es a month isn't cutting it. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a good online pharm that doesn't require a prior prescription? I don't want to let them now that I get my script for feat that they will deny me. Anyway any suggestions would be appreciated! Good prices and no prior prescription, but I obviously have medical records that I can send in. Thanks soooo much guys!!

I have s i joint dysfunction, pain, syndrome whatever... too. It is relentless condition. The only thing other than tramadol or vicoden that has helped me is massage therapy. It is intensive but it releases a lot of the tightness in my liagments that cause the pain and the siatic pain down the leg. Maybe this can help you some too. Good luck

Tanks Pinque, I actually go to a chiropractor once a week and do several different things. Massage is one and it can help I also have done some acupuncture and it's not bad, but as you know it is just a miserable thing to deal with, thanks for the advice! Take care!!

Ordering 7.5 mg hydrocodone compound and a 10 mg compound are considered the same medication, not different. You would be getting two of the same type of pain medication from two different sources. The only way I think that can be above board is for both doctors and pharmacies to know that is what you are doing. And if that were the case, I wouldn't know why one doctor wouldn't just cover you. Unfortunately, there are big time limitations to online medicine. One is that, generally, you cannot get much more than a script of 90 to 120 count pain medication per month. If you need more than that, and many people with certain conditions do, online telemedicine may not meet your needs. Usually people that need more medication than that need a stronger medication than hydrocodone anyway. Most, if not all those medications are schedule II medications and are not scripted online because of legal and regulatory requirements. Now occasionally when between using on OCS and another, one might have an overlapping script. But to continuously get two scripts from different sources could cause trouble. I just hope you can find a doctor that can help you. I am lucky right now, in that my condition can be helped within those limitations. I know, however, many cannot get adequate relief. That is a big problem that the medical community, LE, government have to address. Frankly, I would like to see more the medical community address it, and less LE and the government. But that is just my opinion. I just don't think an OCS will offer you another script if you are getting 120 count from a PM doc. Never heard of it myself.

Hello PB how are you? 120 lortabs is tops from my PMD..I tried for more but got a quick nope.

Hey Alpha, long time no run into. Yeah, it seems 120 count is close to max, even with a walkin doc. I have heard of 180 and 200 count hydro scripts, but few and far between. I think when one gets to that level of need, most docs figure it is time for different, perhaps stronger meds. That is if one can find a doctor that is willing to do that. I think when many docs get into Sched II meds, they start to look at it in a "risk assessement" way. Not of the patient, but to themselves. Sad state of affairs.

Unless your rush PB,
he said to his radio
ditto-heads after the deal went through that the outcome of his case meant, folks he said in a folksy way that is a "Not Guilty" BS he will be peeing in a cup , going to counseling etc , He's lucky he's rich because he could afford Roy Black to get him out of 10 felonies and make a deal pleading guilty to one of the lesser charges.

I loathe that the bloated airbag! and only wish for him a postive reading in a urine test.
I wish someone would even doctor up his urine to fail ..yep I really have no use for him at all..

Hi everyone....Madision Pain Clinic is the only one that I am familar with that will script large amounts of meds.If you live father than 30 miles out of Dallas they will send someone to your house to evaluate you for their pain program.This clinic is for the chronic not acute pain patient.

holy ****!! that's a lot of packages!! so fed ex can report ya if you order too many meds? that 's dumb but ordering that many packages is very suspicious.

I think you are in the same boat a lot of people are/were in. There are a lot of posts about dealings with UPS and FedEX on this board. When I first got here a year ago I spent a lot of time checking it over just to know what was happening all over the country with other pain patients. I think you will find it is quite possible that any shipping company could ask/investigate regarding what you have coming to you, but seriously, most packages are discreet and on top of that, your rattling contents could be pet meds, beads, alligator teeth for your mojo ceremony....whatever. Good luck to you.
