Pain pumps are available for some who qualify. The pump will direct smaller amounts to the injury and pass the liver. It may be worth some to investigate with your primary doctor.... Best Wishes In a message dated 8/15/2012 10:55:53 A.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi all. I haven't been on this list that long, I was on it a long time ago but I haven't been up to date until about a month ago. So I have missed any discussions about dealing with chronic pain. I have been disabled for 31 yrs. I have only been in pain for about a year. It is in my neck, upper back and shooting into my left arm. I have tried chiropractic adjustments but he doesn't want to make me worse so he actually told me that I should stop. I had a cortisone shot in my neck but it did not help. So I have tried naproxin, tramadol and vicodin. The vicodin is the only medication that helps. I don't want to take it for the rest of my life because I know it isn't safe. My question is what do all of you do for pain? Thanks. Meredith
