What gift did pain give you?

@KingLionHeart 🤒

@SW-User BOOM 🙌 AGAIN 😊

@KingLionHeart ☺️

@SW-User I know a lot of ladies that seem to love Tramadol
I am not into something that makes me feel like I have a hang over
it doesn't help with my pain and makes me grouchy

But I know people that have narcotics they will trade for Tramadol
I don't get it
I guess when my doctor thought when I seen 50mg I would get the placebo effect ,,I didn't ,my pain was still unbearable
I only felt drunk ,,I am not trying to get a buzz ,,I need pain relief
But in 20 plus years ,,no one has ever seen me high off of my meds

@rckt148 Sometimes it's the ont thing that hits the spot. Doesnt get me high, it stops me from hurting.

@SW-User I am glad it helps you ,and pain relief is the goal for chronic pain sufferers
maybe because I have been on narcotics so long
And I was put on the harder drugs and made them decrease them
But the VA has cracked down on Narcotics
I had 2 choices ,or so they thought
Say I was an addict and be put on SUBOXONE ,which is a very strong narcotic

Narcotic
It can treat pain as well as addiction to narcotic pain relievers.
Controlled substance
High risk for addiction and dependence. Can cause respiratory distress and death when taken in high doses or when combined with other substances, especially alcohol.

so I don't get it ,,take you off 5mg Oxycodone and force you to take something even more addictive and stronger
or Tramadol and Lidocaine patches

I used a 3rd option ,,I took my MRI's to a real pain management
international accredited Specialist ,he not only gave me back my pain meds ,he increased my dose ,,gave me pain block that they can see where he is putting them on an imaging system ,,not just knock you out and shoot you full of steroids like the VA ,,and I am in the CDC and DEA registry
I get to keep my gun rights ,,I am not an addict in recovery
and my treatment works ..they are awesome doctors
But I am glad they help you ,,if you can stay away from strong narcotics
the better off you are
But for some reason ,,its mainly ladies that tell me they work better for them than the stronger narcotics

@SwampFlower That's impressive!....NOT.😏

@SW-User lol I used to hurt so bad all I could think about every second of everyday was killing myself and it doesn't respond to opioids. 🤷

@SW-User The [i]gift[/i] of [big]PAIN.[/big]😦
