Hey glad to see this place maybe someone can offer advice for pain control. Right now I'm hurting. Doesn't help that I also need to have joint replacement. Between the two I never know which to treat so guess I'll treat both. Just know that the more I hurt the more postal I become and the less stress I can take. Just didn't realize when I was younger and thought I was indistructable that I would fall prey to my own bady. I am using fentenal patches for pain and otc med for inflamation. The doc says I'm too young for joint replacement and need to go until I can't bear the pain, he just doesn't seem to realize that I didn't go to see him until I couldn't stand the pain.
