What Do You Do When The Pain Is So Bad That You Are Screaming Into The Pillow "please Make It Stop!"
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I lost my primary care physician a year ago when he retired and left me with no doctor. FYI: In my state that is against the law! Now because of the whole "opioid epidemic" no doctor in my town will touch me! I can't even find any of these 1000's of pain meds that are sold on every street corner! Believe me, that is BS! So for a year I have suffered, alone. It has gotten so bad, I can't walk across the room without using a cane
And there are days like today when all I can do is scream… read more

Hi ,I find a mixture of dihydrocodeine, pregabalin, amitriptyline and paracetamol give me some relief from pain and the amitriptyline helps with sleep

Boy I hurt for you, and am scared to death about what I'm going to do when my Dr., Whose very close to retirement age decides to hang up her stethoscope. What have other people on opioid pain management done when that time comes?

It's hard to find a compasnate( spelling is wrong) Dr. I had to Dr. shop the beginning of this year! My old Dr. that I had been with for over 20 years is only taking other dr.s for pantients! He got a good promotion, so I don't blame him! But I loved him!! So we found a decent Dr. but he's not as good as my old Dr. but I have to give him a chance! I'm on ' tramadol' for pain which is the opioid family! My new dr. didn't want to subscribe it, but I've been on it to long for him to take me off of it cold turkey! So I get 60 a month! That's only two a day! That just isn't enough! But I'll take what he gives me! I need 4 a day to maintain my pain, which I'm always in! I have fibromyalgia pretty badly! I'll stop rambling on now! Hug's to all of MCPT! And anyone who needs them!

I have had Kaiser for 30 years. They have always helped me. Due to current opiod crisis I only get 14 percocet a month. I have supplemented with CBD oil. Easy to do living in Colorado. I hope you find a doctor who can help you.

Try cbd oil it helps a little with nerve pain but nothing for chronic pain.
