Has anyone had reverse shoulder replacement surgery?
I had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders (2yrs apart) many years ago. Now doctors are telling me the surgeries have failed and I need shoulder replacement surgery on both. I just finished… read more
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
Ur NOT a bad person DONT ever let the B******s get U down M2
Hi, I have been on Lyrica for about 6 months and have put on about 12 kgs. The problem is it is mostly around my middle section and added to the chronic pain it is getting me down. Has anyone else experienced weight gain while on Lyrica and how do you combat it. Really need to be able to lose some of this weight as the extra kgs are making my back pain worse.
Unfortunately.LYRICA. Does put a lot of weight on but what. Can dyou do. I wasn’t told and have now in the 116 yrs in it have got up 2 dress sizes. Due to it but there’s nothing else they can give… read more
Does anyone know this answer.. my pain management appointment was rescheduled after my refill date... So the office sent over a 30 day supply of pain meds.... However my other prescriptions weren't refilled... I usually get more than 30 pain meds... Will the doctor give me the remainder of my pain meds
Definitely.... Today the problem was corrected.....
As me Cathy .I know very well how you are feeling. I thought I'd make a bit light. God knows we all need that. 🤗🤗

I am NOT making light of your question, I am in the same position. I have never been a pot user (since my teen years) so if this bible thumping state ever gets their "law" in order I will be; if… read more
Disclaimer.. I am not a doctor just my own guinea pig and can't recommend anything. Always check with your doctor 1st before taking a new supplement. I don't know if this interacts with ssris or antidepressant as this supplement helps with depression.
I am starting it tomorrow as I'm always using myself as a guinea pig lol. I've tried so many alternative treatments and supplements out of pocket. I saw many good reviews and articles about it. Surprisingly I never heard of it before until a week… read more
I just looked up the agmatine sulfate and I can't take it I am allergic to sulfa
I am collecting information in an attempt to contact those that are making our laws about opioid addiction. I have already contacted some law makers. When the new proposals are announce, I want to be very ready to get active in trying to be sure that those of us in chronic pain are not ignored in the process. Please be very specific if you feel that you have already been affected by new state laws or the national CDC Guidelines for pain managers and their use of opioid. Thanking you all in… read more
I really enjoyed your comment. Exactly how I feel.
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!😂
