I need help with pain management. I suffer from Spinal Stenosis, 3 bulging discs, SI Joint Dysfunction on both my left and right, arthritis in neck, and beginning of Disc Degenerative Disease. Unfortunately I live in NYC and pain management here isn’t the same since the opioid crisis began. I cannot take medications that are regularly prescribed such as Gabapentin (almost killed me) Lyrica, or Cymbalta. I am no longer prescribed percocet because I was taking it as a PRN, and stopped taking it altogether only to come back 8 months later with worsening pain, and being told I cannot get it prescribed. Got to love NYC. I’ve been trying to relocate because of my health issues and the lack of compassionate care here. Basically my quality of life is crap because I literally struggle with pain every day and can’t get a lot of things done. I don’t smoke pot, allergic asthma, it would help with pain. And medicinal here is $200 a month! Plus I can’t gain weight. Pot will do that to me. Has anyone heard of Kratom? I’ve tried everything from eating healthier, exercising a bit, etc…
