poppy pods, kratom , poppy pod tea and kratom tea extract. But i believe doctor opiates are safer you know the dose your getting.... sorry if your pain is truly chronic doctors have more answers than ginseng and tai'chi

Man I feel ya, my back is broke, and ive had the fusion done (l3-l4, l4-l5, and l5-s1 are all replaced with titanium) and even that caused more chronic problems! Every single day I wake up wanting to do a jackknife onto park avenue..the doctors treat me like crap, like they don't care because my pain doesn't effect there life's at all, kratom works pretty good for dt's Poppies are harder to find and kratom is expensive..

that might help, good luck and my prayers are with you....
