Hi Julie, I'm sorry you struggle with chronic pain. What sort of pain management plan do you have in place besides strong medications that aren't working because you've grown immune? Have you ever considered weaning off heavy meds and implementing lifestyle changes like cognitive behavioral therapy, coping strategies, exercising, stretching and stress-management for example? I was using opioids for chronic pain and they got me nowhere. I eventually had had enough of strong meds and made a change. You are a youngster still! Sometimes, being so tired of being in pain may be a signal to make a change. What changes can you see yourself making to better your cause?
