Questions & Answers

My doctor feels I'm a good candidate for a spinal stimulator I've had numerous injections, meds... And pain levels still too much. I have chronic low back problems.

I've ordered Kratom in hopes it will help with this roller coaster of pain I'm in. I can't remember the last time I was pain free. I'm sure those times are behind me, I just wanted to ask people who do use Kratom the kind of results they get. I ordered it in capsules. How many should I take to feel relief? Do I still take my pain med while taking Kratom? What strain have you found to benifit you the most? Thank you in advance for the help and guidance💜

I'm so bored. I've had this chronic pain/nausea for a little over a year now and I'm going stir crazy. I've designed jewelry, scrapbooking, reading, writting, TV, movies.... I've nearly seen everything Netflix has to offer.

I can't walk or stand longer then 10-15mins at a time, on a decent day I can push myself to go further but usually regret it by the end of the day. And my chronic condition has literally broke my bank, just can't afford a new hobbie.
