I have been living with CRPS for years. I am terrified as I know I have got to have something done as my teeth have been neglected and I'm having some major problems. My doc said she will work with a dentist to explain RSD-CRPS and how it may impact my condition. Now I have to find someone who will do the work and it may mean multiple extraction. No Money and most dental is NOT covered. Anyone have experience with this or know of denists in MAINE that have experience with this? Thanks. I'm… read more
I had all my upper teeth extracted in July. I have dentures that are still being "fitted" with new lining every 3 weeks and doing better now. Medicare added some dental coverage and I was able to… read more

I just got retainers for my teeth, this week, and already I see an improvement. I still have some pain but I am sleeping at night.
If anything, send me some thing, that might make me feel just a little bit better. Hugs to All!
Does anyone know doctors here in the Chicagoland area that will prescribe Dilaudid? I have periferal neuropathy in both legs, a cracked tibia that hasn't healed properly, my knee caps are loosing their cartilage, I have excruciating lower back pain, and two cracked vertebrate in my neck. I have visited 4 doctors already and one doctor said he would prescribe me gabapentin and another doctor that would prescribe me an anti inflammatory. The other two doctors wouldn't give me shit. Even with the… read more
Everyone is cutting down or even eliminating just about any opioid med.
Mine is still prescribing, but I can't say he would, unless there's some plan towards dealing with those pain conditions… read more
My husband is thinking about getting an intrathecal implant for chronic pain in his lower back and peripheral neuropathy. Looking into medical information but i would put more value on personal experiences from people with similar issues.
Please respond with good and bad experiences.
Thank you in advance.

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’m struggling to write in detail what happened to me and the health issues it has left me with... have others found it therapeutic?
Any tips, advice ?
