Chronic Pain, alternative Treatment

Posted by CiPaul @cipaul, Jul 11, 2017

I have had chronic pain for 17 years. I know what I'm going to say will be met with doubt, but please try what I say, even though it is not completely backed up by sceince. I was on heavy doses of OPIOIDS for 16 years with no help, relieveing my pain, then I started to take Kratom, for the last year I have been Pain Free!!! If you try it , you will have to try different strains, to find out what works best for you

@qball2019, you are absolutely correct. A couple months ago, I had extensive open abdominal surgery and was denied pain medication while still in ICU. I begged for ANY kind of pain relief and was denied everything, including Tylenol and Aleve. That is beyond ridiculous, and I suffered needlessly. That should not happen to anyone....but it does on a regular basis now. So wrong.

Not familiar with kratom. Using turmeric. May help. Other main alternative treatment is deep tissue massage. Has helped with torn rotator cuff. Or maybe just time. Who knows. Will try anything. Thanks.

I agree with deep tissue massage for pain relief. I go weekly. Also suggest acupuncture for pain relief. Stretches are great for back pain. I learned several from a PT. A physiatrist can also demonstrate good exercises.

tazscott@

I absolutely agree with you. Pain patients that actually need the medications are treated like drug addicts now. I had to jump from doctor to doctor to find one that doesn't treat me like that. It makes you look guilty of something. I've used my prescribed medications (fentanyl, tramadol, etc.) for 16 years without any issues. If you take them as prescribed there shouldn't be an issue. It really sucks that we are left to try to endure the pain because drug addicts are buying the street version of these drugs and overdosing. The statistics don't account for people that actually take them as prescribed, seems like they just include drug addicts' results.

@lillee I know the feeling but right now in the medical field this is what it is but there is also a alternative and that is find a holistic Dr that deals in naturel ways of helping .My experience long time ago I had gallstones seen on X-Ray they weren't to the point where I needed surgery before I let it go that far I talked to a chiropractor in wholeness health did what he said never had a problem since .It wouldn't hurt to advocate for yourself if he can't help you then the M.D.is left to help .

@lillee -- I think this is the book @lioness mentioned. You can probably get it through your local book store also but it's available on Amazon.
