Chronic Pain
"I have severe HA&#039;s (headaches) daily from two bulging discs in my neck and a growth on my brain that adds to the HA&#039;s. I have arthritis in my right knee from two knee surgeries. I started out with trying many different oral pain meds. I was tired of taking so many pills with hardly any pain relief. I asked my physician about Suboxone, she prescribe it for my pain; I was sooo happy!! No high/lows and I felt myself again!  Then, my insurance stopped covering it, unless prescribed for addiction. I was prescribed Subutex 8 mg 2x/day which worked just as well; insurance still refused payment. After a year I was given Belbuca 450 mcg every 12hrs; insurance paid. I&#039;m not getting near the relief I was when on Subutex. Don&#039;t like it!!"
