You should consider looking into buprenorphine for pain. It was developed to treat addiction but has been found to be a great pain reliever too. Find a doctor who's specialty is pain treatment.

Thank you. Good idea. I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder since I followed the doctor’s prescription religiously for years yet the “addiction” label is used without footnote. The irony is that it was my idea to stop the medication to gauge my pain level. Well, I found out but the door closed behind me.
I’ll check into this alternative. Thanks again.
