I know you are starting MFR and are looking in to kratom, and both sound good for you. Another suggestion would be medical marijuana, if you have not tried that yet. Not sure if it is legal where you are yet.

And with the pain level you are at, you should not be being denied opioids if you want them. I am sorry they are hassling you about getting them (if I remember correctly). What about morphine? Is that considered the same or different from other opioids, I am not sure.I just know another member, Jim @jimhd gets it from his doctor, and it is one of the only things that helps him. Maybe you could ask him about his experience with using that.

You really need someone to care about your pain level besides yourself. Do you have support from family, friends? I hope you are not alone in this.

My best, Hank
