Damned if I didn't get chronic pain just in time for an opiate epidemic that has shut the doors on pain relief... I've been taking loads of extra strength tylenol for almost a year now, it's not kind to your liver, and I can't take any NSAIDS because it will wreck my bone graft...

At least I'm sober right...lol
Hi Patterson
Also sorry to hear you are in constant pain. That is tough when trying to handle all the other things that come when trying to stop drinking.... but you are doing it and staying sober, so big well done to you!
I have a relative who suffers with chronic back and leg pain and has found one of those Tens Machines to be a game changer in pain relief!
