Pain pump, I have one, how about one for you?

To starfirey2k:
There is a medication called Robaxin. A little over a year ago I had neck surgery to remove and replace a disc at c4/c5. I had one shot of Dilaudid after surgery, then was put on Robaxin the rest of the way. Had zero pain. I've been using it since the fentanyl was taken away. It's an old "muscle" relaxant. It doesn't really relax you, but it blocks the pain signal that's sent to your brain. I couldn't figure out why I hadn't heard of it before. I take 750 mg.'s every 6 hours. I've even gotten it at a local immediate care facility. Any doctor should be willing to prescribe it. Thank's to all for your support. You are so right Hank. Anytime the government steps it it's trouble!!! I unfortunately may not be here for Christmas. I have a strong faith, yet being forced to die? They will stand before my Lord someday and give an account of what they've done.

@rsj You feel hopeless however you are reaching out, which makes me believe all hope is not gone.
Mayo Clinic Connect is a place to get and give support. It's our job as moderators to keep members safe and maintain the health of the community.
You need support. It sounds like you feel that you have no other option than to "die." As I mentioned, Mayo Clinic Connect is a place to give and get support. Are you willing to get support from members, mentors, and moderators to try to support you through this difficult time?
If you would please answer my questions below.
I'm wondering if you would call for help before you enacted these plans? Do you feel you can keep yourself safe right now?
@rsj
I am with Erika @erikas on this, you absolutely should have an advocate in your life to help you figure out your pain med problem. Also, a live person (aside from Connect) to listen to you and offer you some support. Please tell us who you have in your life? Speaking for people here on Connect I can tell you we want you to continue living. You are finding yourself in darkness right now, but the light will come. You are a person of faith and I know that deep in your heart you know this.
Please respond and tell us about who, if anyone, you can talk to, get support from in your life? If nobody, perhaps we can help you find the help you need. If you want to discuss this privately with me, please use the private message utility. Click this link and scroll to "How to send a private message" https://connect.mayoclinic.org/get-started-on-connect/ and contact someone here. Life can be excruciating hard and cruel sometimes, but just don't give up, please. Best, Hank
