Re: Tanks notice
Welcome back Tanks. I hope that you are starting to feel better. Back pain can be pretty awful from time to time.
Cheers

Re: Tanks notice
Tanks,
Good to see you back online!
And thanks for showing me the road ahead:
Back pain:

Wrinkles:

Hope you’re back to your old (more active & relatively pain-free) self soon.

"tanks" here---
Great to be online again even if only briefly during spasms and when I think of something. This new TarGin tablets have the pains under control for the immediate time. Wait and see the effect.

Re: Tanks notice
Tanks,
Be careful with the Targin!
What strength is yours? Is it the low-dose 2.5/5 or one of the higher rated ones?
Took me three months to get off them, gradually coming down from the strongest available (10/25 I think — memory from that time is a tad foggy, understandably — might have been 15/30) to the 2.5/5 before stopping completely.
Whatever your pain level, DON’T exceed the dosage prescribed! They are opioids, after all.
Look after yourself m8. We’re praying for you.

Re: Tanks notice
And? ....... that is the proper use for opioids, get the pain under control first, then try to get back to the life you want to live, tapering off comes later, if at all, my opioid use is approaching the 20 yr mark, adjusted back now to an as required basis, but I can't imagine trying to live that life of continuous pain before the opioid medication became available to me ..... Most certainly, don't abuse the stuff, but I don't think you are the type of person who would do that, but don't make your life miserable on a morale basis that using opioids is a bad thing, pain control is their proper use .....Greynomad wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 11:33 pm Tanks,

Re: Tanks notice
T1,
Every person is a different story.
When I fell & broke several ribs & my collarbone (complete with punctured lung) I was put on the top-level Targin (maybe around the 20/15 level, I was a bit out of it at the time) for severe pain management.
Once the bones began healing my Orthopaedic Surgeon began gradually reducing my dosage. Took six months to get completely off Targin.
I’m still in pain 24/7 from the original Multiple Myeloma damage to my spine, but I’m able to control it mentally.
I know people with far less damage who are not able to do that, still on painkillers. If that’s what they need, I have no problem with that.
Just saying it’s possible. Have to be the sort who can learn and apply the technique.
