    • Close Chronic Pain

      I became disabled at 40 due to MVA which severed my lumbar. SO much happened in my life the following 6 months. I had back surgery, 3 weeks later my 1st born child (my son) died by suicide on his 20th bday, and 15 days later my daughter gave birth to her 2nd son. Chronic Pain set in all over my body. Along with that I also have Chronic Depression, PTSD, Arthritis, Gout & more. Eventually I had to quit work & fight for SSDI. I try to walk by faith but life is a constant struggle for me:*(

      Treatments

      Marijuana Somewhat Helpful
      It relaxed me a lot, but makes me feel very out of control & that I didn't care for. Just not somthing that I will do for continual pain relief.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      On OxyContin since 2001. Started on 20 mg every 8 hours, at 40 mg every 8 hours now. They aren't working near as well now but pain dr won't increase dosage!!!
      Imitrex Working / Worked
      For migraines....Orthopod says they aren't "migraines" but rather something to do w/muscles-nerves. Whatever, Imitrex works for the headaches that occur w/my pain!
      Ibuprofen Working / Worked
      Take 1 every 8 hours to keep the gout in my feet at bay!
      Synthroid Working / Worked
      Just put on this med due to my Thyroid shutting down on me. I know it won't help the Chronic Pain but hopefully will ease some other problems a little.
