WA State Chronic Pain Patients Wiling To Stand Up For Your Right To Keep Your Opioid Medication And At A Dose That Works?
WA STATE TESTIMONY NEEDED! Looking for others in WA state who have had their opioid medication reduced or taken away since the CDC guidelines. Bill 1427 passed the WA Senate, and although some parts are good, their is a requirement for our DOH Medical Quality Assurance Commission to adopt new opioid prescribing rules by Jan. 2019. Just what we need, more rules. We need to be ready to stand up for ourselves. I will be at these public rule making meetings and have every intention of making sure… read more

Does Anyone Else Have A Doc That Uses Physical Therapy As Part Of The Treatment Program To Combat Pain?
Has Anyone Had Nerves In The Back Severed Or Burned? My Dr, Wants Me To. DOES IT WORK?
I have AR and nerves in spine, one pinched in upper back makes hands numb which I also have AR in them. I also have bone spurs. My Dr, refuses to give pain meds. Shots in back did nothing. If you had this done please tell me if I should or not have it done. I have used every rub out. Does not help. Even hemp oil. Drugs have destroyed help for those who need them. Dr, said not allowed to. Does anyone know of anything that helps? God Bless.
I had nerve endings burned several years ago over a period of weeks. I'm sorry to say that for me it was not any kind of solution. As I said this has been over 12 years ago. The next doctor I was… read more
Has Any One Else Had Their Pain Meds Cut Because Of The Phoney CDC Report On Dosages 90 Mmg Morphine Equalivent ?
My doctor quoted some CDC report that was intended as a guideline for general practitioners that said no chronic pain patient should be prescribed more then 90mmg of morphine equalivent for chronic pain patients irregardless of pain levels or time on opioids. The DEA jumped all over this reccomdation and is using it to force pain doctors to drasticly cut medications, leaving millions of us in dire pain without help or hope.
Amen Sister!! We are preaching the same thing. Something needs to be done. Things are completely upside down. Close those BORDERS! Stop the synthetic Fentanyl from freely coming into our country. (My… read more
Well This Is A Bad Day. Ever Feel Like Everything Bad Seems To Seek Out Your Depression Days?
So yeah I had aqua therapy yesterday and I am in pain today, we are both depressed and trying to get through it and we just found out Anthony Bourdain committed suicide, due to depression! On top of all this, there are certain people who I am trying to distance myself from, that won't quit texting me in an attempt to pull me back in. I am already in pain, am depressed, they disrespected that and caused me trouble and I find out Anthony died! What's a person to do?!
I think they kind of feed on each other and it kind of goes without saying, but that is maybe just me. I do know the best thing you can do, if possible is not let the depression take you over and it`s… read more
Change In Laws
Is there anyone standing up to “the powers that be” for the help of the patient? I feel we are doomed... It’s become nation wide! When will patients ever get the medicine they deserve? We don’t ask to be in pain! Street drug addiction has controlled the decision’s a Doctor can make on our quality of life. It’s NOT RITE...

Been there, wore out the t shirt
I talk to so few people with the Covid restrictions yet I still get people that are not even a part of my discussion saying I made them laugh. In fact the averages… read more
Has Anyone Tried Neuromodulation Treatment For Chronic Pain?
I've just been reading about neuromodulation also known as Spinal cord Stimulation as a treatment for chronic pain and wondered if anyone has had opportunity to try this? Its not a widely available treatment. I live in the U.K. where there are 1 or 2 specialist places you can go for the treatment. The Walton Centre is one of them. They implant an electrode or drug delivery system near the spinal cord.
I assume it is helping you is that Correct ? I too am interested in one
