We have some prescription pain medications available, and 3 muscle relaxers of low dosage. Nothing illegal, just no health insurance and a very painfull dislocated shoulder.

The first thing is, without an evaluation by an experienced physician, you don't really know what's going on with the shoulder.  There can be several causes for pain and limited mobility in the shoulder.  Some of 'em can be very serious.\nThe person with the pained shoulder can go to any public hospital emergency room and be evaluated.  Yes, you may have a long wait in line and yes, you may be asked some uncomfortable questions regarding your ability to pay.  Federal and state law, however, insist that you cannot be denied care simply becuse you're unable to pay IF the hospital in question recieves ANY federal funding - and all public hospitals do.\nThe treatment for a dislocated shoulder demands the services of a skilled team.  Once upon a time it was thought sufficient for a strong man to sieze the arm on the affected side and give a mighty jerk.  That, unfortunately, often led to further damage to the already messed-up joint. And it hurt like hell! Today, the joint would be set under anesthesia and a proper cast/surgical support applied.  As the circulating nurse on the team that would attempt to reset the shoulder, I would expect to see an anesthetist, an orthopedic surgeon, another MD or an orthopedic nurse-practicioner as his direct assistant, a cast technician, an x-ray technician and another experienced nurse in the room, all concentrating on that guy or gal with the messed-up shoulder.  \nI'm sorry, but no alternative medicine is going to do it.  IF the shoulder really is dislocated, nothing short of manual reduction is going to fix things.  Hey - you need to get the shoulder fixed first and only THEN worry about who's gonna pay for it.  Do it soon; the disability from a severely-dislocated shoulder can become permanent!

Not really for pain and suffering. Schools are required to have liability insurance, which would pay for any costs incured due to this injury.  The child was probably kept there because they didn't know it was fractured.  My daughter was sent home by a hospital with a fracture that they missed.  Look at all the consent forms that you signed at the begining of the school year.  The school is protected against frivalous law suits for pain and suffering.  Also....why would you want to milk the school systems out of more money.  Medical bills can be paid by the school, yes.  Maybe even time off work any parents needed to take off to take care of the child/drive to from MD visits (although....you said you are at home mom).

I understand your problem. My husband was put in the hospital last year and had emergency surgery and I had past hips surgeys and they won't even give us insurance. I started researching some stuff and found a great site that offers health benefits. It's not insurance but you can save up to 80% on dental and medical benefits and you get free prescription, Free chiropractic and free vision. Best of all it's no more than $60.00 dollars a month for the entire household. That site below will offer and show you have to obtain benefits. \n\nGood luck and I am sorry we all have to deal with the goverment doing this to our families.

Find a new doctor! Many doctors screw Medicaid or Medicare for money. They don't like dealing wwith typical insurance because private or corporate insurance will investigate unusuall charges and nab doctors on it. Medicare usually doesn't. Sounds to me that is what is happening. My dad dealt with the same thing for almost a year while dealing with horrible pain! After he changed doctors and had his surgery the previous doctor was busted for embezeling millions from Medicare. Hope this helps...

My husband was in an accident same thing Dr. wanted him on pain meds.. Now there is a device out there that is called Pulse generator that is transplanted in your back. They put a lead up your spine and then implant the device in lower abdomen or lower back.You have a remote that turns it on or off. The company that makes it is Medtronic. If you are interested in this product I can give you alot of info. My husband is almost completely off meds.. Insurance companies will pay. You have to get his pain management Dr. to see if he is a candidate than a Nero-surgeon puts in it. It is a miracle device. About every 3-5 yrs they must go in and change the battery in your back. An over night op..

depends on the country you are in.  and in the US, what state.  It also depends on how you injured your back.  Ask your pharmacist what they can reccomend.

Unfortunately the prescription drug program would probably end up costing him more money than he pays now.  The ideal option would be for him to find a way to purchase drugs from Canada.  \n\nPlease urge him to seek medical attention, though.  If it is an emergency, it is illegal for doctors to refuse him care and he may need surgery to keep him alive.

Yes, it's okay.  I had a prescription and was caught with it...  The county I was in tried to prosecute me and failed (I even used a court appointed attny.)  If you've got a prescription from a doctor, you're good to go.  You have to know people who know people, usually others who have prescriptions will know where you can by it.  In Northern Cali, shops are widespread.  Medical is given to nearly everyone there (up north)  the further south you go, the more strict the laws get.  Each county sets up it's own rules so, check it out before hand.  Personally, I've seen people get prescriptions for nearly everything.

You need to see a doctor who will give you a script for these types of medications, after determining if these medications are right for you.  It is illegal and unethical to get any prescription type drugs without a proper exam and script first, whether it be a doctor or non-health professional.

I think you need to get in touch with the underground.... it's not illegal but the supplier could get nicked under the Medicines Act.\n\nMaybe get yourself down Harley Street and see if a dodgy doctor could prescribe it to you.

you have made me remember a friend from 20 years ago who drove us crazy comp;aining about this condition i regret not being more understanding of the terrible pain she was experiencing at the time believe me the only thing that helped this dear friend was valium. if worse comes to worse try it because i personally witnessed a complete reversal of her condition when she started to take it,perhaps it works as a dental muscle relaxor or something like that i know the dentist here uses the valium for a lot of procedures anyway be well.

Funny thing is, I am a LEGAL resident and I can't go to a doctor because I don't have health insurance, and not even once it crosses my mind going to the ER to get primary care. I pay my taxes and do everything by the book, and as a legal resident I cannot (and don't want anyways) use any kind of welfare until I have been working here for 10 years (that's my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong) but the illegals always find a way to misuse the system. Do you know how many families "recycle" insurance cards to fraudulently get medical care because in one family they have 5 "Maria Perez"'s? Sorry, that's illegal and it puts a huge strain on the medical system. And of course those living of of welfare...So I don't think they should use the hospitals to survive, the HC system is already falling apart! I will not deny them of medical care but I don't think it's right. What needs to be done is to fix the problem at the root, and not just use "quick fixes".

I really sympathize with you, this past summer I had horrible side effects with medication and also need to file bankruptcy because of the affect it had on my ability to work. Unfortunately, unless you have insurance they may be able to refuse you. The Hippocratic oath is only for life/death emergencies or other catastrophic events. Best of luck in your rebuilding process.

Ha Ha Ha, there isn't any Workman's comp. I was hurt for over a year, and I filed for Workman's comp because you have that right to, but they wouldn't pay for anything. The Deal is now since the president made the new you can't sue any one law. This was at the top of the list. The provisions only protect the companies from you the employee from suing them. You would only receive 2/3 of your original wages anyway. You will have to get a lawyer to pursue it, and they are going to take part of the recovery. This was the plan to keep people from filing. You would end up with nothing in the end, and most likely sued by someone over medical bills. I had to go on Medicaid to be able to seek medical help for my injuries, and not be sued by the hospitals and doctors. Crazy "HUH", I still haven't gotten anything from Workman's comp today. It has been almost 2 years.
