Why Are Drugs Mostly Always The Answer?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Reduce Cost Massage/Acupuncture
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

My insurance won't cover any type of alternative pain relief treatments like acupuncture. I have tried it two times and it helped better than any medicine or other treatments I have ever tried, but had to pay completely out of pocket and it's no way near cheap. My family already has to care for my paralyzed mother and we can't afford any extra spending. Our insurance barely covers any of my families medical expenses, but we make "too much" money to receive any type of aid. Is there any other way… read more
