Lamb & Lion, I know that pain management is very important. It's a quality of life issue.

To Real men of genius, my doctor has just recently moved out of the county. To the rest of you thanks for your good advice. I have seen Dr Wodeci several times but like somebody said I got tired of driving that far for 5 mins. of his service. I also was so painful for me that I had to make me a bed in the backseat of the car and lay down going to his office and coming back. It's the attitude of people like some of these on here that make it hard for people that really need pain meds to get the help they need. I just want a family MD in Wilkes who understands what I am going to and will refer me to a pain clinic. I'm not going in anybody's house and snoop and I'm not going to lie about needing gas or any other crooked thing. I am going to depend on God and He will see me thru.

Some people actually do have medical problems that require Pain relief. Yes abuse occurs and probably 95% of it is abuse if not more.

Are you looking for pills or actual medical attention, if pills just kill yourself so the citizens won't have to keep your sorry self up any more, keep eating Cheese puffs and smoking Tahoes. Wilkes Garbage!

I removed a few posts that were off topic and/or trolling.

U sited for the great state of Louisiana...

As you can see...the great state of North Carolina does not make those requirements....

Find Huey Lewis. Maybe find a new drug together.

Pain Pills Kill!

it actually is required by law, in many states that no abortion clinic can operate without hospital priviledges and the hospital must be within 30 miles of said clinic.

"if one isn't allowed rights in their own community hospital, then we must certainly wonder about them. Even an abortionist has to have right's to their local hospital to practice legaly in their area"

Actually, most physicians do not "admit" or have these "privileges"...as most hospitals are going to what is now called "Hospitalist"...these are physicians that work primarily for the hospital for pts that are admitted, which are now mostly admitted through the admitting/emergency department. Even surgeons...who perform surgeries turn over daily care while a pt is in the hospital to the hospitalist, and they report to the surgeon all the happenings of said hospital patient. See page 15 in the WRMC Pt Information handout for local information.

As far as abortionist...that too is incorrect. They do not have to have privileges to practice...they can establish their own clinics...and perform these procedures in house. If an emergency situation arises they would do exactly what anyone else would do...call 911 for transport to the nearest hospital.

I have the solution but am a little skeptical to put it on here because it is innovative and I wouldn't want dope heads to see it and try it. Well, just keep it a secret and I will tell you, just don't tell anyone else.

1. Get out and walk around the community and find people you can go up to and tell them you have run out of gas and need to get to the doctor and need a couple of dollars. I know a couple of dollars don't seem like much but if you will look sad they may give you more.

2. Go around the neighborhood late at night and tell people you have to take your child to the hospital in Winston and need gas money or they are going to die.

3. While you are in their houses, look around and spot things of value that can be resold quickly and when they leave to go to work the next day you can go back and get them.

4. Hang out in the parking lot at the Metal recycling business and talk to the doctors that come in and out to bring scrap copper they found and they can put you in touch with a pharmacist that will fill your needs without a prescription. sssshhhhhh! don't tell anyone else , its a secret

Typically many physicians become very skeptical when a patient comes in with multiple pain related aliments which are treated with some sort of pain med and are subjective in nature, have testing which only confirms or denies the existence and which have symptoms that have subjective measures.

Dr. Wodecki has privileges at Davis Regional Medical Center and consulting privilages at Iredell Memorial Hospital.

this is something you want to look for. There are definitely doctors in this county that have no hospital rights.....if one isn't allowed rights in their own community hospital, then we must certainly wonder about them. Even an abortionist has to have right's to their local hospital to practice legaly in their area.

Lupus can and does cause many other medical issues....arthritis, TMJ, sjorgens syndrome (sorry for spelling) kidney disease, heart issues, bone density issues, IBS, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, just to name a few. Most doctors try to treat the lupus though instead of give pain medications. They usually prescribe plaquinil (sorry again about the spelling...an antimalarial drug that helps with symptoms) methotrexate (chemo drug that slows arthritis). Dr. Wodecki is good and I went to him for years. He doesn't prescribe pain medications or didn't when I went to him. He will prescribe non-regulated muscle relaxer such as flexeril. He did ask me once if I would like to be referred to the pain clinic that was in Statesville and I politely declined. i told him that I wanted to hold off on that as long as I could and thankfully it didn't get to that point. I think if you have to go to the clinic you have to go very often.....not sure...so that would probably get costly. I stopped going to him a few years ago because it was such a long wait to talk to him for five minutes. I did like him though. I just decided to go to my GP for my blood pressure and kidney doctor for kidney disease. I stopped taking the lupus drugs because I couldn't afford them at the time and exercise helped with my lupus symptoms.

I happen to know that Lupus is a very disabling disease, and it seems a lot of other illnesses accompany it. I'm not saying this dr. gives pain pills, but that he knows HOW to treat patients and what to give them, not necessarily pain pills, but I would say someone with lupus is definitely in pain, especially in the latter stages of it. This person may have been going to the wrong type of dr. whose field of expertise might not be in this type disease and he just really didn't know how to treat it. Or they could have mis-diagnosed them. This dr. I referred her to has an excellent reputation, and he will do the proper tests BEFORE he makes a diagnosis...then he starts with the treatment.

my doctor is worthless. i suffer from daily anxiety attacks. he prescribed me zoloft, which is useless.he refuses to prescrib me something like ativan. so......as of this week i switched my treatment to another physician! its true! there are doctors out there that have the balls to prescribe narcotics if you have a legitimate ailment! but like what was posted earlier. carolina specialty care in statesville is your best option.

If you have a proven disease ANY doctor would be glad to give you the treatment you NEED. IF you do truly have the said disease. If you really have it and doctors can show / prove it. You can get the meds you have. But so many SAY they have ailments these days just because they are addicted AND need money assistance too, because they can't work due to popping the pills, etc. So since you're searching for a Dr. that you need to be lead to that just hands out prescriptions to people desiring drugs. Shows US a lot. If your Dr. that told you you have these diseases, he / she would give you the meds you need. Why would a Dr. diagnose you with a disease but NOT treat it / you ? Think about how that sounds. NOT judging anybody, just saying. Think about what you're saying here.
