Chosen Answer:

Many of these so called pain management clinics are also very good at getting you addicted to high dose narcotics and then dropping you like a fly after you’ve been going every month for a year or two and are physically addicted to the pills. Be very careful. I would get on-line and do some research on which pain clinics in your area are good places to go for someone who wants help with their pain.

Look into Wild Kratom and Salvia. Both help pain, both natural and both legal, no prescription required.

If marijuana is used for pain relief (as people say), has there been any drop in the number of prescriptions written for opiates like hydrocodone, vicoden, etc.?

Chosen Answer:

Unfortunately, no it hasn’t, at least where I live! I live in California, where marijuana for pain is legal, but the use of Vicodin and Oxycodone (Percocet) is at an all-time high! They’re having so much trouble with overuse of these drugs that they’re starting to prosecute the doctors writing the scripts.

I have chronic pain myself, and find mj extremely ineffective, so I don’t use it. I think many people feel the same – I know several people on mj that also take other narcotics with it (vicodin, etc.) but don’t know too many people who have said it reduced their reliance on other pain meds.

Chosen Answer:

5 Tramadol is 250mg of a rather potent opioid. The usual dose is never more then 50-100mg in a single dose and never more then 300-400mg maximum daily dose. You took 5x50mg pills which is way too much. The itchy feeling is what some people who abuse opiates/opioids desire for some reason. As long as you don’t have a seizure you will be fine but there is never a reason to take 250mg of Tramadol at once. It does cause seizures and regardless of what people say it will get you messed up just as bad as the more common pain meds.

Can someone explain how that happens?

Chosen Answer:

It isn’t really relief for it only blocks the pain messages to the brain. The pains are still happening and can be doing more damage in your back. If you suffer from back pain you want to free up the pinched muscles causing the pain by doing this:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
