Anyone Know of Any Doctors in the Los Angeles Area That Is Willing to Prescribe Pain Medication?
Question by sincere: Anyone know of any Doctors in the Los angeles area that is willing to prescribe pain medication?
I have recently been diagnosed with Lupus and Fibromyalgia. I have had Chronic pain for 2 + years now and my pain had gone from bad to worse, and intolerable in the last 6 months. I am currently going through some connective tissue damage, and can’t walk at times. I am looking for a doctor that is not afraid to prescribe pain meds that will work for me. I am small, but I seem to metabolize all medication very quickly. Even when I have gone under for surgery it takes double the amount of vercet to get me to feel anything. Which is max amount for my body weight. Needless to say, when it comes to pain medication, vicodin just doesn’t cut it, and low grade percocet doesn’t either (5mg is the strongest percocet i’ve had). If anyone has any good recommendations for a doctor in the LA and surrounding area who understands patients pain, and is compassionate about it. Please share. I think it’s ridiculous for people out there with a disease like me and so many others who can’t get a doctor to prescribe anything to you because famous people OD on them all the time. -personal note.
Please help! Thank you.

Firstly pain drugs for Fibromyalgia do not work as it is a different type of pain. Secondly Lupus needs to be monitored by a Rheumatologist, due to its serious nature. Therefore you need to see a Rheumatologist who will prescribe accordingly. Never know a Rheumatologist yet not to prescribe drugs to people with Lupus and Fibro.
