Hello, good souls

[RandomHHooHa]

First, thanks to the people who make this possible. Seems like it offers a lot of good info in a responsible manner.

I'm trying to figure out how to deal with chronic pain--5 knee surgeries (now artificial), recent surgery for heel spur, and congenital lower back condition exacerbated by fall last summer that led to something called "pars defect." My doc prescribes me 60 percs/month (5-325) which I use at night to ease the aching, and Tramadol that I take during the day to keep working. I have access to weed, but afraid to use it due to random piss testing. I've looked into potentiation threads and I use the GFJ/Tums approach which seems to help.

Don't know why I'm rambling on. I'm just so tired of hurting somewhere, all the time. I used to be an athlete; now I can't even walk for 5 minutes w/o needing to sit down. Guess I just wanted to be honest with it somewhere. Friends ask and I know they care but there's truly nothing they can do and I know they love me so it's tough for them.

Gets lonely, you know? So--thanks again to the good people who offer this, and hope all here are doing OK.

Thanks, ShadowBlaze and Captain.Heroin. I appreciate the warm welcome. Yeah, my prescriber is my GP. I can't seem to find anyone who specializes in pain per se; just specialists in one part of the body or another. Captain, I may check out the Dark Side! Thanks for the suggestion.
