Glasgow Urgent Care, Pain Clinic-Dr. Jain Complaint - Very poor health care....
Complaint
GLASGOW, KENTUCKY -- As a consumer from your state, I felt it was my responsibility to bring to your attention the following incident.
I live in Barren Co. Kentucky. Anyone, young or old, cannot receive proper medication for severe pain relief for any reason. The DEA has somehow taken over the entire area. There have been too many suicides due to untreated pain. I have suffered for two years and have yet to find a doctor to treat and diagnose me, much less provide strong pain relief. I am honest, law abiding, and until two years ago, was healthy; never took anything but an aspirin now and then. My husband and I lived in Texas for about 6 months when my back pain became unbearable. I went to a pain clinic, was told I have 'Failed Back Syndrome' and given a prescription for two medications: 1 non-narcotic, the other narcotic...no problem. When I got home, I went to the Urgent care doctor I always see, Ken Manion. I showed him my records from Texas and my prescription bottles. I merely asked him to continue my treatment. He got lividly angry. Said sorry, he can't see me as a patient anymore and left the room! Next, I went to a new pain specialist, Dr. Jain in Glasgow. He came in the room and said: 'Why are you here, anyway? If you need pain drugs, get out!' This has happened with four doctors so far. My pain is level 9. I cannot even dress myself without the pain medication. What should I do? I cannot survive without something to control the pain whether narcotic or non-narcotic...I don't care as long as the medicine works, but the doctors won't even discuss it. Drug addicts and dealers don't go to doctors with medical records and X-ray reports, so why do they treat us like criminals? We're suffering, our lives are destroyed by pain, and they don't give a fig. One thing I am doing is getting a petition together (1100 so far) with similar complaints. We are writing an editorial together and will send it to every newspaper in KY. Enough...
As a resolution, I would like the following:
I (we) want the doctors in this county to be reminded that they are healers. Supposed ease suffering whatever it takes and treat sick, hurting people with gentleness and kindness; not like stray dogs that don't matter. Living in severe pain is worse than death. An entire community is suffering here: children, adults, the elderly. Something has to be done to help us. The DEA has become the KGB and no one in power seems to care--until they are the victims of pain; oh yes, then something gets done....
Please contact me if you need more details regarding this incident.

I know what you are going through. I had a 4-wheeler crash a month a go. Pulled the muscles in my neck and all the tendons in my knee. The hospital sent me home with crutches and 2 pain pills. I went back to the dr. he looked at the x rays, nothing is broken if it continues to hurt then we can do an ultra sound, here is a script for motrin. Its a shame that because of the drug addicts,and abuse we the people that really are injured has a hell of a time getting some relief. There was a 2 doctors in our town who were arrested for writing 100's of scripts aday. So we can also thank them. Good Luck on trying to find a dr that will take your pain seriously.

a new medication used for drug abuse treatment also works for pain treatment might help you. check it out, it's called suboxone. the doc i work for says its great for that because it is not as strong on the opiate side so that you have far less problem with abuse, but enough so that it handles your pain, check it out. suboxone.com
