@rwinney thank you for sharing! My journey is very similar to yours. Have you tried dronabinol? it is a synthetic THC that is mostly prescribed to cancer patient. It is very good to take some of my pain away. Can be prescribed by pain management doctor in New York (not sure about other state). Also 5mg of Naltrexone at bed time. II's a compound drug that pharmacist can make when prescribed by your doctor. It work on the opioid receptors and help with pain.
