    Greetings everyone! Just looking for some advice!

    Just a background... I have been in 1 motocross accident and 2 car accident's which all resulted in the vehicles being totaled out. I have had multiple MRI's and they have came to the conclusion that my spine is knocked off of my pelvic bone, pinched nerve, arthritis in my spine, bulging & deteriorated disc's and some slight brain damage (memory loss) as the outcome. The last accident was in 2008. I finally had enough of the pain by 2011 and was referred to a pain specialist. I received hydrocodone 10mg and refused to go on anything stronger as I just need something to help me sleep and get me through work. I as well received a lumbar epidural injection monthly to help out. Who would have guessed sitting in a cubicle would be so painful for 8 hours strait. Then I was laid off back in November of 2013. So I lost my State insurance and income.

    I have been dealing with the pain as best as I can and managing my medicine from November. I ran out about a month ago and now the pain is there constantly. Some days the nerve will get pinched enough to where my entire right leg goes numb for a few hours. Well I have limited income and can not afford the specialist without insurance. So a family member took me to the ER because of the pain and my leg being numb today. The doctor only prescribed me Ibuprofen -- which just seem's to be completely useless. Helps inflammation but does absolutely nothing about the pain. And he said they do not have the necessary equipment to perform the epidural.

    So my question is while I'm stuck in this transition of finding a new job/insurance with limited income and no doctor willing to help me out... is there anything legal that helps with real pain from anyone's experience? Or any advice? I have been getting next to no sleep which is starting to take a toll on me functioning throughout the day.

    I greatly appreciate any input, thanks!

    have you heard about kratom? i don't know if it is legal in the usa, but i'm guessing it is. it's a weak opiate and i've read about people using it to deal with pain.

    if you haven't, give it a read online, it might help you

    good luck man

    Kratom is legal here and at most head shops. Better than hydro. If you can't find any at a good price pm me. We kinda got a buy club...

    Thanks for the reply! I have but I did not know if it was really worth trying. I have read mixed reviews and found a local shop and the employee told me it is a waste of money and did not work. Maybe I shall go give it a shot then... thanks again!

    Whoa! That means they have old shitty kratom. Some places do. The fresh potent is where it's at. So if you are let down it's just because that. Consider it a sample until proven good. People kick heroin and subo with (good) kratom

    Sounds like it is worth a shot. Best option thus far! Idk if it will let you PM me since I can't PM you. But If you could give me some info on where to get some that is worthwhile. Thanks!

    Unless they changed something, you have to have at least 10 posts to be able to pm someone, so make 6 more posts and you're good.
