re: Chronic pain, how do you deal with it?

You have experience with Neurotin ? Tell and teach me.

I know you take it til you feel drunk and that’s when it works. When first taking it ,I had to make sure my feet were planted when I got out of bed. That has worn off.


Would love to know other people’s experience with it.

I can't get it(not legally)

I wish I could, I have days that I'd risk arrest to stop the pain.

I've tried many CBD products but it didn't seem to do too much.

I have cronic leg pain, I've been up since 3 pacing the floor trying to get it to stop(sometimes it helps) because I can't take anything I have then drive to work.

Somerimes you need to escape the pain when it's cronic just to refocus your mind.

I'm in the same exact spot you are, the pain keeps me awake, I've tried every CHD under the sun, it doesn't help.

I have a problem in my upper back, right between my shoulder blades. It comes and goes and this time it hasn't gone away yet.

I eat a lot of Tylenol and Ibuprofen, but one thing I have found recently, that really helps when the pain flares up bad is a little vibrating cushion that I bought at Walmart for 10 bucks.

I sit in a straight back chair, turn it on and put it between my shoulder blades, then press my back against it as hard as I can. After about 3 minutes the pain fades away, and I'm back to normal for a little while.

Man. I’m sorry you guys are going through this:(

I deal with chronic back pain (den. Disk disease since early 20s) and I can’t take NSAIDS and won’t take pain killers as I also deal with Diverticular Disease and those will cause worse issues.

I’ve found that I have to monitor every movement that’s vertical otherwise I’m dealing with lightening bolt pains. Also walk around much of the day like Quasi Moto.

Still, I sense y’all are way worse. Godspeed guys.

And, be careful boozing that hard.....

I started at 300 mg and have upped it to 900-1200 mg. When I take 1200 mg I am pretty much useless.

I suppose everyone does different with it based on their tolerance level but at 1200 mg I'm pretty much spent...cant/won't drive because I don't trust my judgement. I have mornings when I get up and take it that I have to be really careful even trying to get down the stairs.

Then there is the groggy feeling, can't focus.

Is that RX?

I will not take opiates

Was it your fault? And they just left you high and dry and obviously in pain? Can you work to provide for your family?


No workman’s comp or anything?

I paid my way through LSU with that money, I have a good job now, but my body is shot, it's too bad things weren't different.
