Geez i guess as a cancer patient myself, my pain is maxed out as I take oxycodone, have nerve spinal blockers and require senna, and still can't have a decent bowel movement. I'm truly a lost case! I am still hoping that surgery will alleviate most of this pain!

Only from the headline, WHO are these self appointed people making decisions for individuals like me? I am writing this writhing in agony with under treated pain.

That would involve Docs trusting their patients. I’m sorry, If a doctor won’t take my suggestion to help I’m out the door. Now I’m going to the doc in horrible pain I shouldn’t have to go through an job interview, have my credit score checked. I have a doc that suggests I’m not spending enough money on tests, physical therapy Etc to raise my meds. I went from 110 mg. Of methadone a day down to 60 mg. and he says that will work. I had to say yes. I’ve tried morphine for 2 years, Dilaudid based med.for 6 mos Etc.when doc called me and said to come in. He said he’d talked to the rep of the company and when he did the conversion he aired on the side of caution. He was so far off on the conversion I was in withdrawl. I know change docs. No one will take a pain patient in their office. I don’t come early for refills, I’ve jumped through so many hoops I don’t wanna blow it.

THC and CBD or other canibanoids should be tossed into the future 6 step ladder around 2 and 3 spot.

The “who” is a total joke !! And, most doctors have NO IDEA HOW TO PROPERLY TREAT SOMEONE WITH CHRONIC PAIN, AND THATS JUST A FACT!!! I dont know what the point of this “ladder” even is?!?!
