Suggest Medication For Severe Body Pain Post 3 Operations On Back

Posted on Tue, 22 Dec 2015

Question: yes, i have alot of severe pain all over my body, my doctor has tried morphine, which cramps me up, i will not take them, fentanyl patchs and oxycodone, my immune system must have built up just over a year as nothing seems to help the pain. i have had 3 back operations over the last 3 years, got 4 rods in my back, my ankles do not work first thing in the morning. is there some other medication that will help with the pain? 2 years ago the doc put me on fentanyl 12.5 patch, was not enough he then put me on 25.0 patch which was too much for my head, went back to the 12.5 patch. now the 25.0 patch as well as every other med i have tried do not work for the pain !is there another med that i can try for the pain, as the pain is getting where i do not do too much of anything, even riding in the car!

Brief Answer:
something completely out of the box

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you have had extreme pain that is not being care for by traditional medicine. Let's think outside of the box and recommend a licensed acupuncturist as a possible help. But to really think outside of the box have you considered medical marijuana? The new strains of cannabis are made predominately of CBD which is one of the active ingredients in cannabis that does not cause a person to feel high. It works within the cannabinoid system of the body and can help with pain relief.

Since nothing else has worked I recommend that you try cannabis to help with your pain issues
