Also, when reading hormone test results remember that you generally need to be in the upper 10% range of the test (at least above 90% of the range). For instance healthy male testosterone is in the 500's, morning cortisol levels should be above 15.. etc..

When trying to heal the adrenals you may want to try Ashwaghanda, it worked miracles for me but I cured the unlaying reason I had adrenal fatique, so with continued pain medication use maybe continued adrenal support is required. Something like licorce extract and sea salt. If you can't get a Dr. to help support your adrenals with hydrocortisone, you can use Isocort, it's OTC.

There is a pretty good book on it called "Adrenal Fatgue: the 21st Century Stress Syndrome" but Dr. Wilson. But the specific heling techniques are really learned through others feedback on what works.

Hope I can give you some ideas, let me know.
