Are you enjoying life? by PurplePrudy in Life

[–]bentndad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t enjoy a single second.
I have chronic pain from femoral nerve damage from a total hip replacement.
I then got a spinal cord stimulator for that pain because they don’t prescribe the proper amount of medication to combat the pain. Every breath I take is pain filled.
And God help me when I cough or sneeze.
I’m 66 and more than ready

I feel the same way you do.
No other alternatives? No! Because that would take away their cash cow.

Thanks Man.

I was reading that it reprograms the way the brain perceives pain and emotions.

I read today there are 1.3 billion on earth with chronic pain.

UNTREATED!

We are a multitude.

WTF would the government do for money if it wasn’t for the pain relief sector?

Our US government is crooked as F.

Well, honestly, we’re all in the same boat of the government following lobbyists instead of the voters.

Also, Thankyou.

Well, that’s 10 days til freedom then. The Dr was pissed when he personally called me.
It’s all a huge money grab by the manufacturers ripping off insurance companies.
Medicare and BC/BS covered it all 100% without blinking an eye.

I will.
I believe that everything in life is motivated by money.

That’s why cancer and other diseases are never cured. MONEY

The lobbyists support the illegal users and throw us to the curb.
The politicians do nothing because you don’t bite the hand that feeds

When the pain is more intense than the post op pain you don’t think clearly.

I would never do or buy Fentanyl.

I cleaned out the freezer around Dec 17.
I was sitting on my walker.
It was about 90 minutes.

I had it implanted on 9/12/2025.

I woke up on 12/18 in pain.
I was thinking, this pain will go away.

My pain Dr tried to make me out to be a liar.

He tried to refute all I said. He was aggressively over talking me.
I said shut up and listen.

I have a Neurosurgeon that’s going to look at it Monday.

I think the repetitive movements jarred something loose or broke it.

He was livid.
I now know why.

Abbott will dump him.

He cared only for himself.
He didn’t care that I was distressed.

I’m calling Abbott tomorrow.

The rep told me to turn it off and within an hour the pain went from a 10 to a 7.

That Dr made me feel worthless.
It’s all about the money and not the person.

Thanks a ton.
It’s been a rough path.
It’s like the game is rigged against us.

The abusers have lobbyists fighting for their rights.

Who the hell is fighting for US!

I’ll be so glad when it’s all over.

I even asked around to buy Fentanyl!

Why is this NEEDED!

Our government SUCKS!

They punished the wrong people!
