I don’t know how old you are, or your weight.
You may be replacing one old familiar pain for a new pain.
Had a worker who had a fusion done. He regrets it 100%. He’s worse off now.
Before the surgery, the doctors promised him pain killers but didn’t say how much. It wasn’t enough (1/d) while he was in such pain, he was suicidal.
Then they installed a battery in his back to aleviate the pain. That thing failed and now he has this dead battery pack in his back which makes it uncomforable to sleep.
Last I heard, he’s buying street drugs for his pain and smoking pot.
Doctors lie.
They get paid whether the surgery is successful or not.
Please pray about doing this. When you’re done praying about it, PRAY AGAIN.
Tell your friend to look up the perfectly legal “Kratom”. Tastes worse than dirt but it works. Order it online. Don’t buy from corner stores and tobacco shops. It is NOT addictive! It is NOT dangerous! The people they will undoubtedly say died took Kratom and something else like Heroine or Fentonal. If you take too much Kratom you will throw up. It is perfectly safe. Measure you dose according to your weight. If you get nausea, cut back a few grams. The only negative I can find is it tastes worse than crap. Mix it in Ice cream or orange juice or whatever floats your boat. Eventually you will get used to it over the pain.
