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?
Yes it has happened to me. I only got off of meds because my doctor said she would help if I couldn't stand the pain. What a lie that was. She gave me 10 pills for a month. Not good
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!
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
I have seen many doctors in the past couple of years trying to find the source of my pain. I had neck fusion surgery in September 2014. Instead of getting better, things kept going downhill. I started getting daily migraines and pain that grew from my neck and shoulders to my arms, legs and now my trunk and hips. I have fibromyalgia and diffuse myofascial syndrome according to this last doctor. But I feel that there is unfinished business in my neck. No doctors will do another MRI on my neck… 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
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

Yes, I have in 2015
Because I have a few other conditions, that may be life threatening. I can't get the doctors o focus on my pain.
To be frank I don't care if the other things kill me, if they don't relieve the pain life isn't worth living anyway.
Anyone else had this problem, how did you get the doctors to understand.
Cannabis is the future. May not help everyone but helps me. Bed time I take oil with a small amount of the and 3 times a day I take a half of gummy and cbd with no thc 3 times a day. The hardest part… read more
I hate the question "is your pain achey, throbbing, stabbing, etc?" I never know how to answer
I would suggest keeping a detailed journal and staying conscious of the pain you are feeling long enough to describe it. When we feel pain, our minds immediately try to distract us from it, in order… read more
