Well with new rules issues out across the US I know how difficult getting what I need.

Ive been on Vicodin for a little over a year for back issues and my last visit to the doctor left me a little worrisome. They explained how they’ll be doing what they can to not prescribe opioids but instead find alternatives.

so for my sake, what are some of the best replacements for pain other then other opioids? 

Ive always been safe with them and never found getting off of them hard but I’m curious to see what I can try before I get stuck with a pill that makes me pee expensive piss and not dull the pain!

 
It does somewhat matter what the cause of the pain is as to what other possibilities there are. I have a long list of alternatives to opiates that have been prescribed to me over the years. In my case it was for nerve pain, inflammation from bulging disks, muscle spasms and anything associated with degenerative disk disease. If you want me to list them let me know. 

This is a long shot, but some people are helped greatly by kratom. For me, it only helps me with wds, but it doesn't cost a fortune to try it and see if it does anything for the pain and then you will have some on hand in case of emergency. 

Right now I am also prescribed vikes and I don't believe my doctor is going to cut me off, I just think she wants to document more of my symptoms to stay out of trouble so I am expecting more tests in the near future. 

 
@BlackHawkJJS Are your issues Worker's Comp related, by chance? I am just wondering if another option is for you to change doctors?  Some of the alternatives your doctor may offer instead of pills are injections and/or surgery -- depending the severity of your problem(s).   Take care, BlackHawk, and I hope things work out for you.

 
I’ve got severe back pain from a car wreck. 

Ive been on vicks for awhile and I love them. They remove the pain and it’s a nice body numb for me. Makes me able to do everyday things. 10/325 two of those always did the trick and I’d hate to be forced to find something new. 

That being said if vics were cheaper I wouldn’t be making this post but yeah if anyone could give some good alternatives with similar pain relief that would be wonderful! 

For now this is the only doctor in my area that accepts my insurance which is another hassle. But any advice or solutions help!

  1. iamgroot @ iamgroot: Some customers were scammed by someone using a nearly identical email address. So I’m planning to change my email to one that uses my official website domain, so it can’t be easily copied and everyone can stay safe from scammers. Here is our new official email address from now on. support@mediattics.com
  2. fyjclol @ fyjclol: Also wondering what happened to the guy with the btc predictions. And +1 for fooseball
  3. L @ LW815: 90% of the time when I see it, it’s being used for exactly what it’s not supposed to be used for(with the exception of you and Layne talking fooseball)
  4. L @ LW815: I’d say it’s fair enough game to discuss whatever you wanna discuss(within the rules ofc) and if people don’t like it oh well. It’s not like the shoutbox is constantly popping off with other discussion lol
  5. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Well sorry if I bother anyone with my sports talk :) much love to all. Happy holidays.
  6. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Shout box is for sports, hey, Happy Thanksgiving. It’s not for those other things people like to bring up. Please use or start a thread in the appropriate place.
  7. L @ LW815: Better to push other worse discussions out of sight IMO and see random sport shit, but also kinda makes it hard to have that content removed if need be. I don’t know how to view the entire shoutbox recent history but I know it’s possible lol so it’s both a good and bad thing tbh
  8. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: exactly
  9. L @ LW815: I agree @Ketmaster but their lengthy sport discussions usually tend to happen at convenient times, like when somebody is talking about or asking things that the shoutbox also isn’t meant for(that are worse than random sport talks)
  10. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: I appreciate the good vibes but I agree sports stuff should like be in a thread or PM or something, not a sports guy so it is kinda like wtf is happening people are messaging each other in a shoutbox
  11. T @ timyboy: Where is the guy with the BTC predictions?
  12. F @ Floaty: like them using the shout box tbh, its appreciated good vibes. Not sure if the box has another purpose seems like its the correct use though
  13. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Yeah I'll start a thread for us in the Sports section later this morning.
  14. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Yeah I hated Canales' playcalling. Run the ball. That's what 9ers did since they knew it'd be that type of game. But at the same time, the panthers have a young core, and that was their biggest game in years lol. I understand MNF throwing off the passing game sync and shit just from being hyped up.
  15. L @ luquitoad: Yall should start a sports thread and keep it out of the shoutbox..... just a suggestion .
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: I don’t think we’ll be in prime time again anytime soon 😂
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: What a horrific game @tiquanunderwood seeiously embarrassing. Defense did their job Bryce the offense and Canales play calling has been atrocious
  18. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain legoooo panthers babbyyyyy
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Congrats!!! @tiquanunderwood 5 in a row to climb back into it is amazing… and @MCAJB6122 I agree 💯did not see that coming. Can’t recall the last time there was this much parity across the league it’s insane
  20. M @ MCAJB6122: Chicago at 8-3 has to be the surprise of the season so far
