@jw9 and everyone : look.at how people have to deal with chronic pain. We all hate the meds and wish we could find a treatment that would fix the root cause instead. One thing I did find which helped for a long time was daily traction for neck spasm headaches. That was great, reducing pain 80%. But other stuff took over and I’m on chronic pain meds for quality of life even after spend lots of time and out of pocket expense on trying to treat the cause first. I do give my pain as prayer. Doesn’t make
Pain go away but at least
I know it going to a good cause. The trick is putting up with being a lab rat until the right pain med works w/o unlivable side effects. And biggest barrier is finding a Dr that 1. Understands and 2. Is willing to prescribe. This forum is great, especially without resources in travel distance since travel is such a barrier also.
