yeah, not going to do weed... doubt it would work any way, already turned down narcotics

[Opt!musPr!me]

I was put on subutex for pain management

[dyna mo]

i eat 50+ grams of fiber daily in a solid diet, outdoors every day, stay active and do things that distract and require focus such as learning to play the guitar/surfing, 600 mg aspirin/tylenol and suck it up.

[Rochard]

I don't have any pain. Never had any.

[xXXtesy10]

lol wtf is narco? you mean norco? only hardcore junkies laughing now.

[anexsia]

I'm on 60mg of Methadone daily

[VSKevin]

If it's super bad, a couple Vicodin could do the trick. If not at hand, find yourself some cannabis of the indica variety.

Percocet usually does the trick. Problem is getting a doc to write the prescription.

And weed

Oh this is something I do have experience with....norco is hydrocodone, other names for it are lortab, vicodin maxidone, lorcet and zycet to name a few

oxycodone aka percoset is also an opiate that is 1.5 times the strength of norco so a 10mg oxycodone is equal to a 15mg hydrocodone.

as for Kratom read my experience here

A Personal Endorsement Kratom Works For Me « MikeSouth.Com

I find Kratom identical to oxycodone and hydrocodone in every way except the liver damage from the tylenol in prescription opiates. but buying it is the catch it has to be fresh and stored properly and it should not be adulterated...buy it online NEVER at a head shop/ The company Ibuy from is rock solid and theres a link in the article, yes I am an affiliate.

People who discover it seem to love it, legal in all states but Indiana, low cost and very effective.

If you try it lmk what you think.

Have you tried meditation?

Joint pain?



I had a few surgeries on injured joints and have a few implants... Glucosamine doesnt work.

This stuff does. Had relief in just 3 days and have taken it daily now for about 3 years. No more 800mg Ibuprofin (too hard on my liver) and no more narcotics.

That sucks, chronic pain is disabling, can't concentrate or enjoy - pain is a resource hog. Hope you find something that works, acupuncture might be worth a shot. i know one person who told me acupuncture saved him from a life of misery lying on his couch.

[AllAboutCams]

Ive been taking Tramadol but that seems to give me bad headaches

[Helix]

choose an Indica dom cannabis and make coconut canna capsules.

[EliteWebmaster]

Anyone know of an online pharmacy they dealt with that is reputable? When I say reputable, I mean the ingredients are what they should be and not some sugar pills or god knows what

you should find a different doc maybe tramadol is NOT for chronic pain and if its causing you headaches be very careful it can trigger grand mal seizures. I was on it for moderate arthritic pain and it made me bite my tongue at night...when I tokld the doc he freaked and said dont take it anymore

yes opiates can be addictive but if you have chronic pain you have to weigh it out.

When I broke my leg i had withdrawals like a serious flu for 3-4 days then it was over....fortunately opiate withdrawal is short all in all to me the withdrawals were worth it as they will be this time...though im told using the kratom will make them either non existent or a lot easier just dont get hooked on the kratom which can be mildly addictive

[Jigster715]

accupuncture, Chinese herbals.

[Helix]

Long term pharma usage will destroy your organs. They prescribed Neurontin for my chronic pain but after researching it I decided to grow and make my own canna capsules and they work great for me. It took me a while but I finally got my dose right and I get the pain relief I desire without walking around stoned. If you have pain, the high CBD strains are what you want.

Johnny Walker Black label ?

Seriously, I used to have really bad shoulder pain for about a year and acupuncture solved 95% of it...

[epitome]

Methadone.

It is an amazing analgesic, even at low doses.

For instance, I used to take 100 MG of oxycodone a day and can achieve the same pain relief with 20 MG of methadone.

For comparison, someone entering methadone treatment for opioid addiction is typically started at 160 MG of methadone.

A bonus is that [at least at my dose] it does not make you feel high -- at all -- so you will not become addicted. I did choose to discontinue it once and withdrawal was a bitch, even when managed, but I got through it. It is apparently harder to withdrawal from methadone than heroin, but that may not be a concern if it is chronic pain.

Free History Lesson: Hitler's people invented methadone during WWII when the Nazi's had a hard time procuring pain killers. It is synthetic and has been around a very long time. It tricks your brain into thinking it is an opioid.

There can be a lot of issues with Tramadol. You may want to research an alternative.

I stopped taking it on Monday and feel better no idea why i get a headache with them im taking panadol/codeine/asprin daily and seems to help but not as good as Tramadol. Its for knee pain and doc does not seem interested in trying anything else he told me to get Voltaren but that makes it hurt worse. I get my mri back in a few days so hopefully doc will be able to give me something better.

sorry bro, not post in here
can buy at shops all over here

[baddog]

You know what really works for me, like a champ? Vitamin C. 3,000 MG in the morning and 3k at night. You can adjust it to your own body and needs.

If you are still in pain it isn't enough C; if you get the runs, it is too much C. It is really easy to tell. Sometimes the pain relief is worth it. And I don't mean you will be running, you just don't want to fart.

Also works for weight loss.

I didn't know it was not allowed to be posted here. It would be nice to know a good online shop that sells the good stuff

I can't take morphine, for some reason it tends to frazzle my nerves. I have chronic back pain, sciatica, osteo arthritis, worsening joint pain, all of which is fallout stemming from a spinal fusion corrective surgery I had when I was 16.

I currently take, as-needed, 750 mg Naproxen 24 hr slow-release tabs.
I have as an as-needed supplement to that: Naproxen 500 mg, and in the event of any muscle/tendon/ligament seizures (neck, upper back, usually) I have some 10 mg Cyclobenzaprines on hand.

All of it as-needed though. I'm not a big pill guy, and avoid taking them if I can help it. Thus I do put up with a lot of pain every day, but when things get too bad I take one of those 24 hr SR's and I at least get some sleep at night.

In the past I've done the acupuncture, physiotherapy, chiro, basically any type of therapy out there. My diet is very good, I get plenty of fibre, vitamins, minerals, and a higher than normal amount of vitamin C in particular.

Currently the chiropractor I'm going to is helping somewhat, and I'm also getting Facet Block Intervention every 3 months (12 horse-needles in lower back, commonly referred to as "cortizone shots"). I've been getting those for over 2 years now. They help, although marginally. They do nothing for the sciatica though.

There are a few surgical procedures that might benefit me by way of relieving the sciatica, and I'm waiting to hear from a specialist on those. But in the meantime, for the kind of chronic pain I think you're referring to, (the kind that few people really know about) I recommend that if you can take Naprosin then try the 750 mg SR'ers. They're not cheap, but they do at least take the edge off, and you don't have to keep taking pills every 3 or 4 hours.

[aka123]

I don't have chronic pains, but my preferred method for pains is to "suck it up".

600 mg aspirin/Tylenol=bad for your liver

I know that the pharmacy companies are working on that, tired to grow harlequin but the plants all died...
