Hi all. Hoping to gain some support as I am learning to manage my chronic orthopedic pain cased by a car accident without narcotics of any kind. I nearly died in the accident and broke my body in 23 place. Neck 3 places, 7 ribs, left wrist 2 places, left hip 8 places and left leg 3 places. I also have BP and ADHD. My pdoc and I are still trying meds till we get my mental health under some semblance of control. I just thought it was awesome to see a group concerned with pain support on this forum as chronic pain is why I'm in recovery today. I choose not to use also for the clarity of mind that isn't possible for me when using narcotics. I want to try and live a clean life and have faith that I can do this with the help of my insanely good GPdoc. Currently I am 900 mgs of neurontin 4 times daily, Motrin 800 mgs 3 times daily with a lidocaine patch applied to my lower back every 24 hours. So far the pain is tolerable. I'm hoping I can keep this regimen going as long as possible and have been told by my doc that the neurontin has a huge ceiling as far as mgs go. Is this true? Anyone else trying to manage chronic pain without the use of narcotics? Thanks ks for any help and support offered!
