Abuse of Opioids takes away from all the good it can do

Totally agree, I’m 62 and have had multiple spine surgeries and getting ready to have another one 8/6 . My spine is falling apart little by little my pain management doctor will only give me Lyrica my PCP doctor gives me muscle relaxers and tramadol, but that’s it. My next surgery that I had eight weeks ago I had hydrocodone and only ticket as needed. Well I say as needed when I was in extreme pain.

I am saddened to hear that. I have tried everything. I don't have a good quality of life with the nerve meds and the muscle relaxers. I do use Tzanidine and Baclofen once in awhile to help. The Percocet or the Oxy mask the pain so I can focus on my life and work. My tailbone is the biggest pain offender. No one can resolve that so I have unbearable pain every day. The opioid controls it so I can work. (low dose 5mg). Stable and predictable for 25 years.
