Members shared diverse approaches to managing chronic pain, ranging from daily routines like hydration, NSAIDs, mindfulness meditation, and posture correction to more advanced treatments such as stem cell therapy, IV ketamine infusions, and medical cannabis. Several members described the emotional toll of trying multiple medications without relief, with some relying on morphine-based drugs like Zomorph despite fears about long-term use, while others explored alternative options including ketamine cream and cannabis oil with vaporizers. A recurring theme was the importance of planning ahead for activities that might trigger pain, leaning on support networks, and practicing self-care even when finding effective relief feels out of reach.

Hydrate. Caffeine (bad for some, good for me). Start and end the day with an NSAID to combat swelling. Understand the possible pain that various activities may cause & plan meds ahead of time. Avoid situations that cause my condition to worsen if possible. Stay in contact with my support team: family, friends, online.
