I have two chronic Heath conditions that cause ma significant pain most days. Sometimes I have better days where I can do a lot of stuff, but then usually the next day my body says why did you do that??? However, I can have bad pain days even when I do not exert myself so there you go. It has been this way for more than 8 years. Thank goodness for knitting and reality TV!

I use different forms of cannabis to regulate my pain. I use oils, edibles and flowers.
I've tried every kind of analgesic made, narcotic and non-narcotic. The side effects were sometimes worse than the pain.
Sorry you have trouble, I've been able to keep my pain in check this way.

It doesn't take the pain away like percocets but I find it very helpful.
Part of it may be that because I tried everything else and hated living until the next dose, this is the best I can hope for

I wish you can watch the documentary movie entitled "HEAL" it was released in 2017, maybe you can learn something that might be helpful to you.

Thank you for the suggestion. Perhaps that movie is on YouTube. I will try to find it.

The pain I have has not changed my life much. When it is worse, I take pills.

Yeah. I have prescription medication, which I take on a regular basis. I think it keeps the super bad pain at bay.

I have my good days and my bad days. I take full advantage of the good, then cringe at the bad. Pain killers and hot baths become my best friends.

I am so glad you do not have chronic pain. I would not wish this on ANYONE (except for maybe Hitler):
