Title: This is my Dr. 3 Post by vietvet2tours on May 18th, 2005, 3:04pm A lot of people come in because they didn't have any place to go," Nelson said, adding that the situation emphasizes the need for a comprehensive pain management center in each city. Bledsoe, one of Nelson's patients, hurt his back in January 2001 while working as a union electrician in Gillette, Wyo. Years of heavy industrial work also had taken a toll and, he later found out, his body was suffering arthritis, degenerative conditions and other problems. Lifting a cup of coffee or climbing a set of stairs could be debilitating. "The pain transforms your life," he said. Bledsoe spent 18 months working with a doctor in Sheridan, Wyo., trying to find suitable medication. Finally, a little reluctantly, he tried OxyContin, a time-release narcotic that Bledsoe said provides some relief. When he moved to Billings, Bledsoe checked in with several doctors and was eventually referred to Nelson. Bledsoe said the doctor was professional, cautious and thorough and helped find the right combination of medications "so I could be operational." His heart sank at the meeting last week when Nelson told his patients that he'd been told by DEA not to prescribe certain medications. Bledsoe, who said he needs Roxicodone and Dilaudid, isn't sure whether he and other patients will be able to get the medication they need. "It's going to put a lot of people back to a world of pain," he said. |
