What nobody is mentioning is insurance would either not pay for alternative care or it was way more expensive than opioid medication. When my idiopathic small nerve peripheral neuropathy started in 2004 Humana wouldn't even cover chiropractic care.
Yes! Would love to try other alternatives such as biofeedback or ketamine treatment, but insurance won't cover it. Can't charge it because I'm paying off the debt of other treatments (doctor suggested) I tried in the past.
I've been on the same dose of oxycodone for years and go in for epidural injections, nerve ablations etc as needed so it's not true what the doctor said. If your pain is managed adequately from the start then I believe you won't need escalating amounts of opioids for the most part. I also have a pain pump which takes only the fraction of the dose of oral meds, and a spinal cord stimulator. The oxycodone is for break thru pain from my bad back, RA, and HS which is a chronic debilitating painful autoimmune condition.
I disagree with the Dr that says that opioid users need more and more opioids to get the same baseline. If a person takes their medication as instructed, then they shouldn't need more of the pain meds. Dr's NEED to discipline the people that say they took more than what was prescribed and not just say, ok and give it to him. That's why the chart shows opoid use going up. People need to follow their doctors instructions. Period. I've been on the same Percocet and max dose tramadol for 8 years now and my does has NEVER changed.
My doctor finally prescribed me some xanax an tramadol. When my winn dixie pharmacy closed because of the aldi takeover i was sent to cvs. My insurance covered the xanax but wouldnt cover the tramadol cuz it got flagged because the two togeth or something. Going on 5 years herniated lumbar disc and sciatica. 33 year old male. Havent had any surgery or injections. Kinda scared of both. Have seen physical therapy and chiropractor. This close to rescheduling with ortho and pain management. Been watching pain documentaries today. Massage therapy and like soemone else said ketamine i fusion therapy and other psychedelic assisted therapies should also be covered by medicaid. Just saying. At least for certain people with chronic conditions.
imagine a shovel being shoved into the middle of your spine with someone's foot on it someone being a horse that stands on the shovel at an angle and just stand on it all day long jumps up and down on that shovel so it goes deeper and deeper into your nerves into your bones like you're biting on foil sharp sharp stabbing razor blades cutting every tissue going straight into your brain into your teeth into life 9 + 908 every single tissue
Yes, I remember telling a Ortho Dr when asked what my pain felt like. I looked him in the eye and said It feels like I am birthing a elephant and pooping a school bus at the same time. He just looked at me...chirp... chirp 😍🔥💪
So the guy at the end of the video driving all over American. He didn't say what his alternative treatments were.i can't sit in my car more then 1/2 hr before my sciatica flares up
I'm watching this now about half way through and I am finding myself annoyed. Especially the patient saying you do not remember anything fun. Well, they say we are all different or they did. (We truly are) but we now have the 1 dose fits all. Now, I have been disabled since March of 97. Back then most DR's wouldn't prescribe opioids unless telling factors existed. Redness, swelling, high blood pressure etc. I find it strange that the "opioid crisis" even happened. Oxycontin for example. Did the DR'S in the U.S. and Canada really buy that oxycontin couldn't become addictive? I don't know one Surgeon or Rehabilitation Dr who didn't do their research. Every bottle of oxycontin has a little pamphlet folded into a tiny square that shows the chemical breakdown etc. So, I am really perplexed by the law suits against it's makers by the governments of each state in the U.S (those that sued) and even more perplexing is that the states that sued were suing to pay off the rising costs of opioids addictions, rehabs, hospital stays etc. But, since 2000 I was repeatedly told that I couldn't be approved for certain treatments because I had Medicaid. Because I was now poor and disabled on Medicaid my state pays for there were many limits to treatment that may have helped me considerably and told that opiates are the only course of action that states will approve. Now, did you catch that?... opiates we're the only thing states approved for people like me. Hmmm, But, wait! Didn't these same states sue for the opioid epidemic? The ones that didn't read the materials included in the bottles of oxycontin? Wait a minute, this sounds like smoke and mirrors. How is this possible. And how did these states win?. Did the states really file suits not knowing who would win?. Or, was it all put in place to appear as it did or, has it played out. The answer for me was telling. In the U.S. manufacturing of opioids is down 70+% and prescribing of Opiates is down 70+% the lowest since the seventies. But, then how are OD's up 600+%? It's because of illicit fentanyl and heroin. Infact, illicit fentanyl was pouring like sand into the U.S. for at least 2 decades. Anyone could go onto their computer and order it by the pounds from China. Then it became frontpage news when the U.S. could say it's coming from the cartels in Mexico. Well, that's pretty much because The cartels had seen this stuff about fentanyl and the money to be made but only the last 7 to 10yrs. Smoke and mirrors. So now we have new medical lepers the Severe chronic pain patients are now treated like they themselves did this whole thing. We are the butt of social media videos where nurses, X-ray techs & DR's post videos laughing at a person crying in pain in their E.R. departments. We have over 900+ suicides due to being tossed from the DR'S Offices and hospitals literally onto the street from a wheelchair. Broken they end their own suffering. And the Medical community doesn't bat an eye! We weren't believed most of the time way before this "epidemic" but now they can hate us. We are forced to get injections that have left most every joint in my body bone on bone. They don't work but if I want my prescription for pain meds I have to keep getting them. How sick is that!!? Gabapentin for pain. Both are not made or approved by the FDA. What is approved for people like me is FDA approved opiates. They've been around since the beginning of us. And don't get me started on the CDC and DEA guidelines. If you read till the end thank you. We need support and help. Go to (don'tpunishpainforum.com) they help DR's and patients.

@@imzadi83fanvids7amen yes. Medicaid covered ketamine fusion therapy would be amazing
After being denied pain relief for years , I am glad for opiates.
Same here
Chronic pain from my chronic autoimmune diseases is stealing my life.
I'm sorry. You are right though. It takes years away. I, God knows I wish this wasn't true. Truly sorry 😞
When you can't even walk anymore😂😅😭
Doctor sounds like gaslighting. We've all heard this at one time or another. Live in our shoes and get back to me.
Opioids work longterm.
the US PRESIDENTS, CONGRESS are cruel to chronic pain patients, and doctors , are so full of it !

CVS is the worst for pain medication. I’ve had luck with small in-store pharmacies like at a grocery store. Good luck.
