    I am sorry you are in so much pain. You are not able to work and need to apply for social security disability. That will open your treatment options. When it comes to pain.. you gotta do what you gotta do. There is no ceiling for morphine. Get wha...

    I had pain issues also that was not managed correctly and I turned to opiates would lead me into addiction and a suspended license. I wish I had a good alternative for you. Maybe check out fb groups on chronic pain, Fibromyalgia, and there's one call...

    Hppy, I am sorry you are enduring this pain. Heat and topical analgesics, plus rolling and stretching take the edge off for my chronic hamstring pain. I can't get a good answer for what is causing it, and I am tired of being treated like I am seeking...

    Washing down GT or JT meds with formula is another way to clog up the tube. Use water.

    Here's a helpful hint I learned the hard way: don't do a J-tube-feeding, then add some Cough Syrup on top of it, because the mix makes it not want to go through. The formula got semi-solid and it was a bee-yotch to clear. Soda did not help AT ALL! I...
