Pain Management
If you suffer from chronic pain then you know that pain is in control of your life and keeps you from living to the fullest! Even worse, it is impossible to find a great pain doctor who really cares & will spend time to understand your pain. Most doctors even in pain management are afraid to prescribe adequate amounts of medication; or what has worked for you in the past; even to legitimate patients; due to fear of the new state law. Or due to the thought that their patients will become addicts. Although pain medication isn’t always the solution, in some cases it is a necessary component of a comprehensive pain management program. This is especially true when the doctor has the skills to customize it with diet, exercise, weight-management, the correct muscle relaxant, NSAID’s & wellness advice.
Many of the doctors who do prescribe adequate amounts of pain medication do so indiscriminately, often leading to their being closed down by the DEA. Others force patients to get blocks before they will prescribe medications. Always ask your clinic doctor if they are in compliance with new state law of October 1, 2010? All clinics must be MD owned, not by a chiropractor & assigned a clinic licensce # by the state of Florida. Additionally, the clinic must be registered & in compliance with all county ordinances for that particular county. So you won’t loose your hard earned money that you paid for your initial visit like other people when their clinic is closed for their follow ups and their records are frozen! For example, read this article http://www2.tbo.com/content/2011/jan/17/feds-tampa-pharmacy-led-us-in-dispensing-painkille/news-breaking/ Is this the kind of place you want to be affiliated with? Folks loose their records and their money after they paid for a initial visit! The smart patients pay the extra for quality & to see Dr Gorrell, a board certified anesthesiologist!
