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 .

In two weeks I’m having a Risotomy done to see if it… read more
I work for a pharmacy that specializes in serving chronic pain patients and we know the financial strain that medication can cause. Does this make psychological help unaffordable?
Yes
I did use it but in the compounded form. It was hard for me to tell how well it worked bcuz I was on Methadone as well. At the time, I was suffering from chronic pain due to CRPS/Neuropathy/Central… read more
