I got the news yesterday that the pain medication that I'm on is already 2 weeks back ordered and the pharmacy is saying that the manufacturer is saying that it'll be January before they start back up production. There's a lot of folks are going to be in a world of hurt without their medication. I'm hoping that my doctor will prescribe me some form of pain medication on Monday and I hope it's not tramadol.
 
Have you tried CBD. My wife takes the Delta 8 gummies. Usually only 1/4 of a gummy during the day and 1/2 at night. Seems to help her pain.
 
I’ve had five surgeries in this last year, I didn’t need no pain medications. The surgeons couldn’t understand it, I just told them set my mind on something else.
 
My wife and I are not the kind of folks who won't take needed prescriptions, but we minimize as much as possible. We've had too many doctors "diagnose" or "need more tests" and nothing turns up, so we're just very cautious.

My wife tried a whole gummy one day, but said it made her "foggy" so she backed down.
 
I have beginning stages of disc degeneration diesease and surgery won't help, also spinal stenosis, curved spine

Have you asked him about having your bones fused? I had my neck fused and my lower back fused four weeks ago. Pain is gone. Before my surgeries I did take Advil not too much of it, but I did take a little. I was sent to the hospital with a massive blood transfusion because of it.
 
Don’t go see a neurosurgeon like I did. I had to get a second opinion so I went and saw an orthopedic surgeon. He specialized in spine surgery.

If you had to have a blood transfusion, you must have been allergic to it. Those otc so called pain relief meds have never given me any relief. With all of my back problems I have to have a good pain medication, bulging disc and arthritis along with the other problems I have

That was my problem, nothing worked. I wasn’t overdosing on Advil, but I was taking it for too long. After my lower back surgery, I can feel my legs and there’s no pain, tingling or numbness in my lower back or my feet, knees or legs. I have arthritis throughout my whole body. It’s worse in my lower spine and my neck. Sucks getting old. They still haven’t found the internal bleeding, they were thinking at first it was the Covid vaccination.

I'm glad you are doing well. I don't have any of the things that you had. Mine is my neck, lower back, right shoulder and arm, the problem with my arm is from my neck. I was told that they could fuse the bulging disc but the rest is from normal for getting old. I can't lift more than 40# for life and I can't stand or sit for long periods of time this is why I can't travel to look at cars I tried to explain this earlier in the year but I don't think that I explained it good enough or the guys didn't understand. I can tell that you would know were I'm coming from.

Yes I do know where you’re coming from. My whole left arm would turn numb until I had my neck fused. My right arm was bad, but not as bad as my left. You’re right, sitting or standing for too long wears me out. I can walk.

I'm glad that you can walk. Mine doesn't go numb, it's more of a ache. I'm thinking about seeing a pain management doctor, you know how you have to play the game
 
I’m sure you’ve seen a physical therapist already correct? They didn’t do me any good.

Yes sir I did and your correct they didn't do anything for me, in fact they actually made me hurt worse.I don't know if you go to a chiropractor but the one that I see has helped me. He's not a fan of pain management doctor's either. He's a chiropractor, but he also went to medical school as well, he started to be a physician and changed his mind before graduating.
 
I've been trying to stock pile meds and they won't give any extra scrips.My wife has been able to do that with hers but not me
