You've been asked by a few friends here about pain meds. I am furious you are not allowed stronger, more appropriate meds for pain. It's inhumane.
As you know, I strongly advocate for the appropriate use of pain meds. I have openly shared my stance, as well as my need for pain medication. I have been very clear about the dire need for pain meds for severe, life-altering chronic (non-stop) pain. Unfortunately, I have been viciously attacked here for having been open about my stance and for my own need for pain meds. It's exactly that type of attitude that denies you, Christina, the pain medication you so desperately need.. 
Is there anything I can do to help you more?

Your being verbally attacked over your medically necessary pain meds just shows someone that has no compassion and truly hateful. I hope that never happens again
Yes I am indeed in an acute flare. I again got no sleep there is no comfortable position to be found.
I truly wish that I was able to find someone , anyone that can give me meds for when the pain is just unbearable. But I’ll just a baby unicorn sooner.
Doctors hands are tied now ....if someone has been on a rather low dose long term pain Med started 3-4 years ago most Doctors are okay with them staying on them , but anything new? Unless it’s acute like I fly off my porch and get a compound fracture and my bones waving in the air and I have to see a ortho. That’s about the only way pain meds are going to be given.
My T just a few weeks ago has told me numerous clients of his are having surgery and sent home on Tylenol only. One he almost lost to an attempt.
We don’t let our pets suffer but it’s ok that the government has tied Doctors hand so much that they are unable to offer even minimal pain meds.
Thank you for all the support and understanding
words just can’t express my love for you
