Hi, my name is Francis and I’ve been dealing with tremendous low back pain for many years, enough so that I was put on disability at age 56. I’m 68 now and despite many different procedures from pain management specialists I am no better off, period, long term opioid use has been a big help but not near enough as the Dr’s I see are afraid of upping my dose or switching me to something stronger , afraid of a goverment that has no idea what they are talking about when it comes to severe chronic non cancer pain, I would get better pain relief if I actually had cancer. How sad is that.
Thanks for letting me ramble on 🙏🏻

Yeah. It’s frustrating. No one really knows what it is like to be in constant pain. And some goofball worried about you getting “hooked” on an opioid.
I had Prostate removed. And have been in constant ever since. Have a spinal stimulator in now. Very little help. I can understand why some people end their lives have to live in constant pain and no hope on the horizon
