It is therapy for us to tell our stories and it gives the ego a small boost to think that we could help people. At my worst, I could not be still because of the pain. I risk repeating myself as I feel that I might have told you this before. Pain can drive depression and my life didn't get better until I allowed myself to take Hydrocodone for the pain. Many here are on or have been down the opiate road. Do what is needed to go forward.Time will change your pain or it will move or you will adjust and adapt. Do what you need to not let depression take you down further. We all know it sucks and that people don't understand. I used the opiate until I didn't need it as much. The supplements talked about here are for Mitochondrial health and about the best nutrition for nerve regeneration. They will not fight your pain. I am now on Tylenol w/codiene and can actually miss a pill and go on anyway. So, if you feel like you are trapped in the corner and you have to get out, please allow yourself to tell your Dr. that you need pain management. If this would be too slow, get your housecoat and fuzzy slippers on and go to the Emergency room. You might have to go through suffering, but you don't have to do it alone and with no help. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
