Is DEA Going To Crack Down On Those Who Take Pain Meds For Real Pain More Than What They Have Done Already?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

Has Anyone Hac A Nerve Block Done For Back Pain?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

My pain doc wants me to try a nerve block on my back. I'm willing to try anything at this point. If you've had it done, is it painful? Does it hurt? I have DDD, stenosis,and L-4 and L-5 are herniated. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

You need to find a specialist who knows how to do it and has a CT or at least an ultrasound available. It can help you to patch up the pain for 1 - 3 months depending on the stage of your herniated… read more

To Those Living With A Chronic Pain Survivor
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I know living with someone who is in constant pain can be hard. Sometimes we take it out on the person we love, because we can’t fix ourselves and it is so exhausting. We are staring down a monster who can actually change in the matter of a minute. It’s unfair of us to do this, especially to the ones who love us and are there for us. There are no excuses. There aren’t any words that can describe the extent of how it hurts. The mind games it plays. I am a chronic pain survivor myself. I am also… read more

Why Are We Being Treaing Like We Are Bad People Because We Are In Pain
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve been in a flare since around Thanksgiving, I also took two Falls in the same night affecting my neck and shoulders mostly, I followed up with my surgeon; but, X-rays didn’t show anything. I’ve been bed ridden since. My question is this, how can I sleep for more than an hour or so without waking from the pain? (My sides are my only option for sleeping due to 7 Spinal surgeries.)

Has Anyone Had Nerves In The Back Severed Or Burned? My Dr, Wants Me To. DOES IT WORK?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have AR and nerves in spine, one pinched in upper back makes hands numb which I also have AR in them. I also have bone spurs. My Dr, refuses to give pain meds. Shots in back did nothing. If you had this done please tell me if I should or not have it done. I have used every rub out. Does not help. Even hemp oil. Drugs have destroyed help for those who need them. Dr, said not allowed to. Does anyone know of anything that helps? God Bless.
