I just got back from getting a mri that my primary doc sent me for so this new doctor at Active Pain Treatment will have for when I go to him. I googled the pain doctors name and even his practice name but came up with nothing for this place. I'm really hoping someone on here knows something/anything about them. My primary doc is wonderful she will help with pain but she says its not her speciality and will refer u to where u need to go.

Go away.
The last thing needed here is a return to this place being dominated by doctor shopping and pain pill subjects.
Just go away.

<quoted text>PS is right. They are by the book. They do want to explore all options. If your pill seeking don't bother. If you want a treatment plan they are good. They do have limits on what they write. I have been on the 30's from my family doc and they would not continue to take over writing them. Don't listen to all these hypocrites. If your new to pain management be careful . Inform yourself is the best answer.

And exploring options is a good thing. If there are injections that might help then it is worth a try taking a few of them. Dr. Fox will suggest injections IF he thinks they might help. He doesn't push them if he doesn't think there is any chance they will help and I find that refreshing in a pain doctor. So many are about making all the money they can and they make good money off injections. Dr. Fox is not that way and I respect him and his work. Pain management is not just about writing prescriptions. It's about doing whatever you can to help ease a person pain.

PS has given you great advice :)
I am not a patient at Active Pan Treatment, but I have been a pain management patient for over nine years.
I have tried the injections and for me, they just were not very effective. ALOT of doctors DO try and pressure patients into receiving them though because they are VERY EXPENSIVE.
The same can be said for surgical procedures as well. I know alo of people who were really helped after having surgery on their neck/back. Unfortunately though there are alot of people who disagree and say that it has made their pain worse.
There are some doctors who insist on performing surgeries on everyone, regardless of whether or not they really need it, just because they are able to charge their insurances a fortune.
I've found that medication, physical therapy, massage therapy, and using my TENS unit to be the best combination in managing pain for me. If only I could find a way to better manage stress...I think I'd be very close to being completely pain free :)
