How to Stop Chronic Back Pain and Sciatica: Getting off of Pain Management

[macgyver2112]

I thank you for your time. you have been very helpful.The doc gave me cottel shots threw my tail bone.because he could not get the needle in to my back.because i have lots of scar tissue.1 month after the shot i developed a Abses by my tail bone.I thought i had hemorrhoids.Went to the Emergence room.the staff toled me it was a Abses.And i was like how did i get the infection.they could not tell me.So i put two and two together .it was the cottel shots.I do not need any more infections.NO SCS

I still have pain in my legs.Its a burning stabbing uncomfortable pain.I think the doc messed with a nerve or i have bad scar tissue and a nerve is caught up in it.I stayed off all meds for a mounth.it was hell..ooppy I got my self back.the wife was so happy.but still have bad back and leg pain.The doc wont's to put in my back a SCS stimulator .that will mask my pain the doc tells me.what do you think.I see the doc aug 10th for a consultation to see if i am a candidate for the device.

@macgyver2112 I have created videos about the SCS & I've been attacked for them, big time! My implantation experience was 100% negative & the infection it caused (osteomyelitis) was one of the conditions that almost cost me my life! I will have leads along my spinal cord for the rest of my life because they couldn't remove them. I was in so much pain, the SCS was nothing more than white noise & an irritating vibration. Give this one a LOT of thought! Good luck to you! John

Hello friend i am in the same boat. I am on works comp.and it suck.I am a prisoner in my house.3 and half years.on drugs.I have gone up -down- side to side .I had 4 back operations.and getting off of the narcotics was the beast thing.the pills kept me in more pain coming off of them.So i would thing my pain would not go away.In one day I would take 8 M>S contton and 6 norico .What a roller coaster ride .Well i jumped off because i was going crazy just sitting here.I started to meditate.it work

@macgyver2112 Well done! It's a roller coaster & pain management is self-perpetuating. They just keep you coming back month after month. That's how they build their practice. They never effectively deal with the underlying condition, so the pain is masked, nothing more. It's a terrible cycle & unless you make a clean break, you'll never get your life back. I'm so glad you have! Isn't life amazing? I look at the videos I made 1 year ago & can't believe I'm that person. 1 year! 40 lbs gone amazing

I totally understand. You probably won't beleive the doses I took daily for prescribed pain killers, however I made the best desicion to start a suboxone program (which is not cheap by far) and it worked. The most hardest thing going thru the subox treatmnt is cutting down slowly but surley. Don't abuse them. It's like this, "It take an opiate to get off an opiate". However if u don't have will power, I don't recomend using the suboxone program. thnks for the video

It's like they say about willpower and the runs...that provides a real good picture (gross, but good) about how much willpower we have when it comes to certain addictions. The Narcan is the key to the Suboxone "cure." Unfortunately, you are right though, even Suboxone gets abused. Thanks for watching and commenting Mike!
