Sorry, previous answer was not helpful. You see, though I am in Bham, I do insurance for state of OK, which has great physician guides....
I would try Matthew Berke, a physiatrist (physical medicine) at St Vincent's East. I think he takes Medicaid patients... he has treated me in the past and is very good. I hope this is more helpful than my last answer. I am not sure of his narcotics policy; I hate that people genuinely in pain have to suffer because of the suspicions cast by prescription drug abusers...
