I have been depressed and I do suffer from anxiety.specially when I were first diagnosed.
Has anyone had reverse shoulder replacement surgery?
I had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders (2yrs apart) many years ago. Now doctors are telling me the surgeries have failed and I need shoulder replacement surgery on both. I just finished… read more
My husband told me that Pres. Trump said he’d like to do away with half of all pain meds use! I’ve been on pain meds off and on from 21 to mid 30’s since I had received approx. 20+ surgeries in that time. Then 20 years ago ruptured L-4 and L-5, L-5 S-1. Pain was unbearable . I’ve been on them straight since then , Oct 21st at 1:10 pm ,1997. You don’t forget the date that changed your life. I’ve been treated like a drug seeker all my life on meds. Once and awhile you’ll find a dr who knows pain… read more
Hey Kiddo, Believe half of what you HEAR and all of what you SEE!! If Trump wants to be president--he knows--the drugs are for street use. That is what he wants to stop. We have to believe in… read more
I have had chronic pain for 10 years and I am currently at the end of my tether. Tried lots of different medications and other things to help but never free of pain which is beginning to impact on my mood.
I know how you feel I go through it everyday
Chronic pain patients are being forgotten about and punished with all these new laws and pressure from the government and states regarding opioid use
Chronic pain patients need help to get the medication they need. Drug addicts now use meth, heroin, etc. They no longer use opioids because they are so hard to get. Help is needed. I am so tired of being treated like an addict. I want my life back, I need help. Opioids is all that helps. Why should I and so many others like me continue to… read more

I know that they are bad people out there, but we are not one of them, and yet we get treated like we are bad, because we are in pain and what helps us is being decided by people who do not feel what we do
I am a Veteran. 3 doctors in 1998 put me o methadone and I've been taking everyday all this time and now they want to get me off methadone at 73 years old. Everyday for a year I have to beg for my… read more
I know living with someone who is in constant pain can be hard. Sometimes we take it out on the person we love, because we can’t fix ourselves and it is so exhausting. We are staring down a monster who can actually change in the matter of a minute. It’s unfair of us to do this, especially to the ones who love us and are there for us. There are no excuses. There aren’t any words that can describe the extent of how it hurts. The mind games it plays. I am a chronic pain survivor myself. I am also… read more
Thanks for all your replies it helps. I am slowly learning to relax a bit more when going out and visiting family and it does help. However unless like all of us who live with many different chronic… read more

And, are you concerned about losing your medications or have you already lost them?
