Im sorry LocNar......pain management for people with actual pain is a terrible cycle to get stuck in.....a buddy of mine was a firefighter who fell off a building snapping his back...poor guy HAS to take all kinds of meds that leave him almost comatose.....its sad as hell....can't work cause he takes all those medications, but could if he wasn't in such horrible pain. From someone who struggled with an opiate addiction, I feel you bro.
