Has Anyone Tried Kratom For Pain?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bakersfield, CA

Wondering what dosage and form of Kratom works.I tried a liquid shot and was pleasantly surprised. Are the capsules just as effective? And other people with chronic pain experience?
I know it's not legal in all states but they do sell it in California where I live.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Woodstock, GA

Chronic Pain Support With Someone To Talk To

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Rockford, IL

I will make this short only because I cannot sit long. I miss everybody and I would like to know if there is somewhere just like this site but where I can talk to people. I need more surgeries so typing will be hard and I am really going out of my mind. I will type more later I cannot sit long because of sciatica and other things. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you
