Members came together to help someone asking what others take for pain after their doctor hadn't prescribed anything, with several sharing their personal experiences managing pain with medications like Gabapentin, Tramadol, Tizanidine, Baclofen, and over-the-counter options like Advil gel caps. A recurring theme was the importance of advocating with your doctor, including asking for a referral to a pain clinic if current treatments aren't working. Several members also mentioned CBD and THC edibles as helpful for pain and sleep, while others gently noted that alcohol was not a lasting solution.

I recently started taking baclofen and it seems to help a little, but the most relief I get by FAR is from daily CBD & THC. I take CBD in the morning, then at night I take more with THC to help with sleep. The THC also melts away all the pain so I can sleep and wake up relatively pain free in the morning. I don't smoke, but edibles are great. A great source for CBD is LazarusNaturals. They offer significant discounts for veteran, disabled, low income. Love their cycling frog capsules. Physical Therapy has also really helped with pain prevention. Having more trouble now that I'm trying to do PT at home independently since they are currently closed. Hope you find a solution that works for you soon! XX

I take Gabapentin and tramadol neither one helps much. I'm going on the 23rd to see doc and tell him his pain meds suck and if needs to send me to a pain clinic I am so I tired of pain...I dont drink. Sometimes it is so hard to concentrate then I cant focus and bf makes fun of me (soon to be) ex boyfriend....I so want to feel like me again before 2015. I went to visit my son and we always go out for drinks and dancing this time I couldn't but I'm going to keep trying. Sorry for the rant I will exit stage left....lol
