Lisa7777, so sorry. Your description sounds miserable. This war on pain meds does NOT help the people who truly benefit from them and can have functional lives with them. Makes me very angry both as patient and retired RN that suddenly “one size fits all”. Grrr. Don’t you wish you could give your pain situation to one of those higher ups for a month or so and see how they feel then? I don’t know the specifics of your personal situation. Is it possible you are a candidate for implantation of a spinal cord stimulator or implantable pain pump? Both very minimal surgical type procedures, home within hours. I only ask because I also refused more back and neck surgery. I refused to give up and sought out other pain management options. This SCS has helped my back/leg pain to a significant degree. Had trial in late Dec and permanent implant later January. I am walking and doing garden work again! I wish you the best of luck going forward!
