Review of Nevada Spine Clinic

I have been seeing Dr.Ghuman for several years now...

I have been seeing Dr.Ghuman for several years now. I love his PA Kelly Noel she is amazing. I have several issues my neck is so bad and I have been advised to have sugery and I suffer from severe chronic pain. Both knees are bad so is my lower back. I also have fibromyalgia and it is very painful at times. I can not have sugery due to health issues. I have been on some really strong pain medications until about two months ago. Dr Ghuman told me he was not going to write anymore prescriptions for my pain pills. You can imagine how scared I was. He told me with the new guidelines lines I was on too much medication. He sent me to his PA Douglas Lynch. Dougless is also amazing. Douglas took me off almost all my pain meds. He is giving me a Drug called Belbuca. I also take a very small dose of Hydromorphone. This drug somehow tricks your brain into believing you are taking stronger doses of pain medications. Honestly, I really don't care about how it works all I know is that it does work. I stopped taking my morphine three times a day and then I started new medication. I did not have any problem switching from my old medications. My biggest fear was that this new medication would not work as well for me. I had seen another pain Dr. Many years ago and I lost my job and insurance so I could no longer afford to pay for my pain meds. It was awful I was in so much pain. Trust me when I say that I was so scared of changing my medications. I am so happy that Dr Ghuman made me change I never took my pain pills to get high anyway and to be 100% honest I don't feel that much of a difference. Actually I swear it works better. My point is it works so if your tired of the hassle of getting your pain meds filled or you know that one person in your family who can't leave you alone they constantly criticize you for being on pain pills. Like you are some kinda drug addict. Even if you take your medication as prescribed and you never take more than you should. Unfortunately people that do not have chronic pain just do not understand that the pain is exuhusting. Please ask Dr Ghuman if this is something you could take if your tired of all the hassle or you just want to take something safe or like me one day you will go and see Dr. Ghuman and he won't give you a choice either you switch or go without. Because the longer your on pain pills they stop working and you need a stronger dose but then you are taking to much. You can not overdose on this medication from what I have been told. I only wish that I would have been given this medication sooner. If it is safer why not give it a try? I do not like the way that I was treated when on my pain meds. I am not a drug addict I am a person who is in alot of pain. Unfortunately switching to the new medications at first made me angrey because I felt like I was being looked at as a drug addict. Just because this drug is given to people who abuse drugs to get them off street drugs. Well let me tell you who cares what other people think. If you do not want to be in pain and you are tired of being criticized for taking pain meds or your tired of the Pharmacy not filling pain pills. Try this then why not switch I am so happy I did. I really respect Dr.Ghuman for his brutal honesty even though at the time I thought he was crazy and I was not at all happy that he was taking away the one thing that kept me out of pain. Dr.Ghuman gave me his word that I would not be in pain. Dr Ghuman kept his promise to me and I am very happy to say I am happy that I switched and I hope if you are reading this that if you have to change or if you want to change just know this.That this medications really works. This medication is safer than the pain medication I was taking.
