Hello everyone. Just introducing myself as "new" to Bluelight though I've been jumping in and out of this community for years. I never officialy registered but finally did a couple days ago. My main interest is pain management and resources related to it. I was injured playing hoops back in HS and have had 6 operations on my right knee since including a partial replacement 2 years ago. Being born in the mid 70's there has been so many medical advacements but it always seems to revert back to pain meds. Anyway, to make a long story short, I suffer from chronic pain, tried everything out there to lessen the pain from sports rehab to gel injections, to graphs.... and then/now every mixture of meds from surgical, primary, and pain management doctors. I read a lot on the meds I take, follow up with research provided by the manufacturer, and discuss options with my doctors. There I go again...sorry about that long to make a story short sentance. Thanks for the opportunity to be here and I look forward to hearing from you and providing my vast knowledge on pharmas to whomever needs it, take care and thanks for the welcoming messages.
 
Welcome to BL, Kodiak :)

I am curious, have you heard of (or tried) kratom? I hear it can work wonders for pain management. Even though I used it to help wean my opiate habit down, I've read that can have some great benefit to those who are experiencing chronic pain.
I definitely recommend it if you haven't tried it. (Though you said you've tried it all, I had to ask) :P
 
I have and it helped somwhat but opiates still seemed the best option. Thank you for the welcome and note, appreciate it.
