Question : I have an unusual tolerance for drugs....in fact I was in a rehap center in Monterey California
The bottom line is that I have chronic pain throughout my body...back surgery and a knee replacement.
I need a pain killer without opiates that will get me out of pain and also let me walk!
Thanks for listening
