Hi Denny,
I wrote a post about this a while back. My therapist suggested that I ask my doctor for Suboxone. It generally is used to wean people off opiates. But is currently being presecibed for pain relief. I beieve there are some major advantages over opiates. But, as with all medications...Do your research!
All prescription meds seem to effect everyone differently. I have heard though, that it is working well for a few of my doctors patients. My suggestion: do your homework and be open to the possibility even if it is a new use for this med. Keep us informed. All the best
