Hello,
As most people who have chronic pain know, our meds have been demonized and criminalized, an we're fucked. Just got back from pain management. My GP referred me there and then put in a note saying not to treat me? Ok, whatever, I expected something.
So I have a way to get it, but I'm really nervous and would like to hear as much as I can about what a noob pain patient would need to know. I have not been prescribed steady pain meds for years, and have only had help this year with oxycodone and hydrocodone and tramadol to get me through a major surgery, medial and lateral epicondilitis in both arms, a tooth abcess and a compression fracture in my back. Oh and a tailbone fractures. I already had chronic pain, fibro, injuries in neck and knees, unexplained systemic inflammation, old broken bones, etc. Only 1 week pain management for surgery, a day or two for the others.
So. dance safe test, check, a bit of knowledge, check. Still, though I have been told how to smoke it (i wont inject, enough probs as it is), I'd like to know a way to ingest it that might be safer. I have seen some and wow, such tiny bits, so I'm not even sure if I would know how to get a small enough amount into a capsule, and don't know what that small amount would be.
NOTE: I take alprazolam, which I'm sure complicates matters. I've been taking .5mg bid for 30 yrs. No increases or anything.
Any help is hugely appreciated.
mods: hope I posted this in the right place?
