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 .

Hi Karen,
Hope you are doing well. I am new to this site as well, I guess we just keep trying--like everything else in life. Take care of yourself.

I have undiagnosed severe abdominal pain which makes me unable to eat alot and the last few weeks my stomach keeps gwtting bigger. I dont usually go to the er for the pain unless ive hit a new level of pain and ive been there for an hour. I did that the other day and i was humiliated by the doctor and treated like a druggie. I dont know what to do anymore so in reevaluating the conditions in which i go there and i wanted to know what your opionions were?
Have you looked into abdominal migranes. A naturalist could do amazing things for stomach. Worth looking into
Pain doctors , pills, spinal blocks, you name it I've tried it!! Please help!!
