My doctor quoted some CDC report that was intended as a guideline for general practitioners that said no chronic pain patient should be prescribed more then 90mmg of morphine equalivent for chronic pain patients irregardless of pain levels or time on opioids. The DEA jumped all over this reccomdation and is using it to force pain doctors to drasticly cut medications, leaving millions of us in dire pain without help or hope.
Sorry! I mean 50 states!😂
I use the injections as allowed, they give me the ability to function and significantly reduces the pain. It's like getting my life back. Bless you, Kathy
I'm seeing a pain dr and starting getting injections. I just had steroid, epidural injections and so far I think this time its working. I have had only two treatments so far.❣️

Wow, that's awesome-good for you! 🙂 I have Celiac so gluten free is the only diet modification I strictly adhere to. I'd love to hear some of your tips, though!
I have lower back pain for years. Now I have Sciatica along with everything else. I have gone to Neurologists, Ortho guys, my Primary, a Chiro and a few others, and mostly the only thing offered to me is Drugs. I can have "anything I want" from Asprin to Percoset. I dont want any of it. I want to find a treatment or cure that I can actually live with. PT doesnt work for me bevause it only brings on more pain. I'm 71, I'd like to enjoy the years I have left.
Yes Yvonnelewis. Does tiger balm help your joints.thanks Lorraine xx 😃
Primary doctor suggested that I try marijuana instead of more opiates. I need to ask my pain doctor first a I signed a paper saying that I would only get pain meds from him. I have an appointment on January 5th and I want to go with some information about the success of using marijuana. I also need to know what to ask for. I'm really not interested in smoking it as I've never smoked before. Rx Marijuana is legal here in Arizona so that is not an issue.
My daughter was in a bad car accident and also has fibromyalgia and she smokes a vape pen with thc. She says it makes it so she can get through a day ... Sort of. She is still unable to work

I have nerve pain in my legs, hips, thighs, back, feet, and hands. It's not clear what the root cause is. My question is: If simple exercise like a 15-20 minute easy walk increases the nerve pain in my legs, hips, back & feet, should I not do it and lose out on the benefits of exercise?
Any thoughts, wisdom is appreciated.

I'm 75 so you all are girls until I find out otherwise. Hugs.
Is anyone staying abreast of this whole #opioidscrisis #opioidepidemic #dea #Kolondny going on?
And, are you concerned about losing your medications or have you already lost them?
