140 lbs on your back (including aide bag) for over a year in the middle east can really do a number on your back.  3 slipped discs L3-S1 and DDdisease.  Constant pain down both legs especially in the Glute area.  Started on pain meds about 4 years ago to treat pain.  Up to this point in my life I had never had anything stronger than a 600mg motrin and only had alcohol less than 10 times in my life.  Ive gone up the ladder starting with TY/cod and moving through Vi c and yellow Nor.  

As some of you know I work as an RN, moving up from my medic days in the military (and actually getting real pay LOL) I know the long term damage to the liver and kidneys from long term opiods.  I spent my entire life rebelling against any sort of controlled "getting high" material due to my drug addicted, in and out of jail, mother being straight edge and not doing anything controlling and the cold irony is that I am now dependent on what Ive tried to avoid my whole life.

I took a 2 week challenge to myself and flushed my meds down the toilet.  Detox was pretty lousy (personally i don't know how some of you can do that monthly OMG) but eventually with some sweat sessions (extremely painful) I got it all out of my system.  Im currently on week 2 and here's what Ive learned...i hope this can help someone with my experience.

1.  The pain I have from my back is sadly real and not chemically made up by meds.  I was hopeful that a "system reboot" might lower the pain however the pain is just as bad as i remember it and it keeps me from doing ALOT of activities.

2.  Medically this was a good idea as I learned EXACTLY where the pain is left and now i can pinpoint to the doc which nerves to finish burning off and that the knee I blew out in the middle east (torn MCL) still hurts and i have a slight limp when not on meds.  I would have never known that my knee still hurt if I hadn't done this so this is def the good.

3.  I will choose to continue the meds as I will not be able to work without them (heart vac time) however, I MUST decrease my tolerance level and will work hard to do so.  This 2-3 week adventure should help with that.

4 and Lastly I would never tell anyone how to live their life.  I am a firm believer in a free country and as long as people take care of their responsibilities, they should be allowed to do what they want for fun as long as it does not cause public harm.  So for all of you awesome peeps...please keep doing what your doing and live free.  Our current nameless commander in chief would love to take as many of these freedoms from you as he can.  Just know that long term opiod use can seriously harm your liver and kidneys and I don't want to see a forum of peeps talking while in middle of their dialysis.    Stay free, live strong, and love forever.  Thats my two cents...sorry so long I hope this can help someone...if I m out of line mods, I apologize and feel free to take this down.  Dk

 
I wish I could do something to help with your pain and struggles D31. I don't know what I can do except tell you how much I respect and appreciate what you have done for me and this country.

American who have never served our country will never understand the sacrifice hero's like you made to ensure our freedoms and help others in the world who cannot protect themselves.

All  American veterans living and deceased have never gotten the proper respect and  honor they deserve. You are truly a special person willing to sacrifice your life so that other Americans can enjoy the freedoms and quality of life that most of us take for granted.

Sir, I wish I were half the man your are, but I'm not and all that I can say is you and your fellow service persons deserve so much more appreciation than you receive.

Thank you for everything you have done for me and others who can't do for themselves. It's a honor to have you as a member of DBG.

 
@disabledvet, I understand what it feels like to live in constant pain. I had a botched surgery 8 years ago that left me with a neurogenic bladder that doesn't work and kidneys that produce stones way too large to pass. I am in a pain management program, and I take breaks now and then with suboxone. A lot of dr. Are starting to use it to treat chronic pain. It makes detoxing a lot less painful than quitting cold turkey. Just a thought...

And as headbanger said, thank you so much for your service.

 
Well said HB!!! My husband spent 21 yrs in. I have the utmost respect for our service men & it really makes me mad when they are not treated better than they are. Disabled31 a also salute you. It sucks to be in pain every day of your life. Respectfully, Nickean

 
No bigger hero that the American Soldiers.

Police and Fireman deserve the same recognition too. They will risk their life to save another.

Thank you American Soldiers and Police and Fire personnel. I'm not trying to be some kiss ass seeking attention on the boards. I just trying to show my appreciation for what you fearless American do.

You heroes all deserve recognition, appreciation and honors. You never get enough so Thank you Disabledvet31.

Thank you all!

 
Thank you all for the kind words i am truly a humbled man....I hope that my xp can help someone who , like me, always has more questions than answers.  Im going in for the nerve burning again, hopefully doc will get them all this time...i tried to tell him 4 wouldn't be enough but u know docs...."I'm a doc ur a RN i have to prove I'm smarter"  Ya thats worked out great for me...now he gets more monthly visits and insurance payments....I get a co pay, half an hour to flirt with the MA and pain...constant, throbbing, dull, crappy pain.  @HB totally agree with the police recognition...fire ehh city fire are kinda worthless but the county and forrest guys are fricken heroes and a half....anyways cheers mates look forward to chattin

 
HB no one could ever call you a kiss ass. We are the ones that are humbled. I feel very proud of my vet. He served our country proudly. You are right HB our police & firefighters risk their lives every day. None get enough recognition in my book.

 
Thanks for sharing your story Disabledvet. God bless you, and thank you.

 
Hi disabledvet31, I'm an RN too and have chronic back pain. I appreciate your story and thank you for your service!! I think doing a detox is brave and also very informative, perhaps doing it a safer way is wiser though. I know it's tough to tell an RN what to do! Ha! What I'm wondering about is the nerve burning ... Did it help and for how long? I know we are all individuals just trying to sample some experiences, others I know have been pretty negative about that not helping. I'm on the fence. Tired of the pain. Don't like taking meds often (I work in dialysis, so yeah I know the long term effects of meds)! Best of luck to you /default_smile.png

  3. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Because im not fixing to spend money on that brom unless i know for sure that shits gonna land and be good, because I am a nightmare to deal with when i get scammed or fkd over! Like all the way left
  4. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Wait how so? Pm me?
  5. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: FX sketches me out… you can always buy the cath next week and you’ll be glad to have br0m for landing gear
  6. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Gone!
  7. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Probably lose like 60 pounds and shit, some dope whore slumped over on the couch....
  8. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: But damnit I want to stock up on that apvp shit, if its even 1 3rd as good as people make it sound, being better then aphip, man i want 200grams of that shit. You wont see or hear from me for months
  9. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Personally i love the fact they got aphip too, but the shipping 30$ no track. Almost feels like a gamble. I mean i dont see why it wouldnt land, but then I'd still need to get 500ml of pg and bottle it. Yeah I think your right it would last alot longer
  10. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: It would be r4om that fx person
  11. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MrFuszy br0m will last much longer
  12. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Another hassle is dmt, making its stupid easy, jist takes a little time, but then there are the prices for it ready made to go and it's just like -_- well fuck which do i feel like compromising, my time or my money... But then again its dmt and it's fun as fuck
  13. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: To buy 5g of apvp or 1g bromazolam powder 😭 choices
  14. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @eswen444 might be a little more difficult and involve a little more planning, as well as price increases on certain items, but all of those will still be available, trust.
  15. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan i’m sure they made good money off of it and took the shit off the shelves, but I bet you it’s still available if you ask for it upon request especially if they know your regular buyer. I, like you, just bought kilos online to save money back in the day. I would only buy your shit from the smoke shops if I was that desperate.
  16. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan like I said before I’m a recovering opiate addict so I choose not to touch the shit at all but I’ve been to smoke shops because I buy disposable vape products and other accessories, but every smoke shop I’ve been to over the last few years have had kratom “front and center” and easy to see. About 2/3 years ago 7oh products began appearing and it got completely out of control. I remember telling one of the owners of my regular shop that 7oh it’s not gonna end well
  17. E @ eswen444: *or post here. Holy spelling problems....but also for everyones info what im told is as of 8/1/2026 7oh, MIT, MGM, and other concentrates will be scheduled 1. Its an emergency schedule which lasts TWO YEARS and they can request an additional if needed. I feel horrible for all the homie/homettes who have to deal with this.
  18. E @ eswen444: @MorfineOrfan do you have a link to the chems the DEA blans to emergency schedule? If so please pm it to me or lost here. From what im told from my corporate over seers everything BUT raw leaf, and capsuled leaf will be removed from shelves 7/31/26
  19. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: We made it to another Friday ladies and gents. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, be safe out there.
  20. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z i have no clue what the supply and demand is like for brick and mortar shops, i havnt been in a smokeshope in 15-20years and back then none of them had or even knew what kratom was. Ive always bought kratom from vendors online, back in tge day we would use babel fish translator to haggle with vendors on kilo prices lol. But you dont need to worry mit will always be available if leaf is.
