Kratom is a plant being used for pain control. It is illegal in some states, but not in mine. I've heard it's good for pain control. Anyone here in this group ever try it ?
What is it considered? An opioid? I have been taking Tramadol ER to control my chronic pain and it's worked for years and still works good. I change up dosages constantly so My body hasn't gotten used… read more
Has anyone had reverse shoulder replacement surgery?

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
Hi If I wait for the pain to get severe, I will be going 911 to the ER at the hospital. I know my body enough to know the difference in pain level.

I am looking into using CBD oil or marijuana. I am not a regular pot user. I tried some cookies laced with it and it started my heart racing and felt fidgety, which I don't want. Is there something I can use for pain and mild anxiety when needed? They just recently started opening dispensaries here. Trying to find relief without adding other issues. Thanks.
Hello peaceandlove, CBD oil works great plus you have better control on its use. A few drops can be some relief. Feel better, lori k
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
Ur NOT a bad person DONT ever let the B******s get U down M2
@A MyChronicPainTeam Member I rub Magnesium oil into my feet and knees and the relief is great
