Being Labeled As A Drug Addict ??

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Regina, SK

I once went to the ER. I had 2 herniated discs. They made me wait for 7 hours, and sent me home crying. Even my parents don't believe me.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

I think it is considered somewhat inconvenient to investigate your problems. So sorry. I do hope you have been treated by now.
Bye, good luck

Does Anyone Use Belbuca For Back Pain?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Greensboro, NC

Been dealing with chronic low back pain for over 17 years. I’ve tried all sorts of pain treatments and nothing has worked really well. My provider put me on Butrans patches but I had an allergic reaction to the adhesive. She has now put me on Belbuca. Has anyone used this? Did you have any success with it?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

I used Norspan patches for a little while, but it did not work well. I stopped them. Bye, Diana
