There are 1.33 million chronic pain patient in the US, their health conditions can’t be cured, Opioids are all they have for any form of life beyond a bed still in pain.

I'm one of them. I have terrible lower back and sciatica pain. I've had back surgery, injections, ablations, and physical therapy. Nothing has worked in ten years to alleviate the pain permanently.

If opioids are taken away, I won't be able to walk, much less work. As it is, I'm limited to a small amount per day and have to supplement with Ibuprofen, in amounts not great for maintaining a healthy liver.

Sorry to hear of your suffering. It is terrible that our Country has made it difficult for people truly suffering to obtain relief. People with chronic pain cannot function without opiate pain medication.

I recently tried radiofrequency for low back pain. The nerves causing the pain are burned with a hot needle. They do grow back eventually. Don’t know if you would be a candidate but, I feel 10 years younger. Might be worth asking. Good luck!
