Pinched nerve. Your personal experiences in Thailand?

Featured Replies

I would also like to caution anyone with a compressed nerve concerning the ease and seduction of resorting to...

Powerful opiates in a failed attempt to control the pain......

 

aa.  As we know, just from witnessing the failed attempt to use powerful pain meds in the USA.....

 

This strategy is a complete BUST, and a non-starter.

 

bb. These strong opiates, or synthetic opiates, are worse than the cure.

 

One winds up, due to ill-informed doctors, taking opiates for more than 5 days...and then....

 

One's real troubles have just begun...BIG TIME.

 

cc.  One should NEVER resort to strong pain pills, not unless one wants to finally wind up in a total...

WORLD OF HURT, for the rest of their lives.

 

dd.  Let me tell you:  In Taiwan, where doctors are ruled by the government on the island of Formosa, the powerful pain meds, based on the poppy flower, are NOT ALLOWED, unless for, perhaps, end stage CANCER.....

 

ee.  In the USA, on the contrary, some major pharma companies actually promote these disastrous opiates, just to make a profit from the pain of good men and women.

 

ff.  One should ALWAYS keep in mind that these powerful drugs should be used for NO MORE than about 5 days, post-surgery, etc...

 

Unless you want to destroy your life, and your future.

 

gg.  The opium pipe, and the derivatives of the poppy, have destroyed good men and women.  Do NOT fall into this trap.  And, do not let poorly informed doctors prescribe these dastardly drugs to you.

 

hh.  Pain is something that we cannot avoid in life.  And, even while taking opiates, the relief is temporary.  Opiates do NOT work well for long-term pain.

 

ii.  If you choose to take these drugs, these INSIDIOUS pain killers, which are sometimes prescribed by idiot doctors in the USA, and maybe other countries...then....this is what might happen to you.... (And, you might just spend the rest of your lives attempting to free yourselves from....what is, in essence....THE NEEDLE AND THE SPOON.)

 

Therefore, please think TWICE, THRICE before taking opiates for more than 3 to 5 days......

 

Fortunately, this has never happened to me because...I just....

GRIN and BEAR it....

 

I take the pain, though not easy....

And, sometimes, I cannot get out of bed for two weeks, when the compressed nerve is really kicking up.

 

I take the pain, which is really the only thing one can do.....

 

TAKE THE PAIN.....!!!!!!!

 

jj.  And, we all know, after recent exposes concerning some USA company....Purdue Pharma....that....

This formulation does NOT work in the long-term....and can even have an opposite effect which INCREASES pain.

 

kk.  So, I tell you:

 

Stay away from these drugs which the Pharma pushers push your way, lest you end up like this.....

 

 

 

Please do not fall into the trap, unless you want to add to your troubles.

 

I feel alright with my needle and spoon.....

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:  When you're married to H, then you're married for life.  How true.....

Unbearable shooting pains down the left leg.
Immediately suspected compression on the sciatic nerve.

Physio, stretching, never worked.

 

MRI scan 8,000 BHT found a compressed disc.
Referred to neurosurgeon who perform endoscopic surgery to 'inflate' the disc.
3,500 BHT, in and out in 3 hours, Government hospital.

No problems thereafter.

3500 baht?  that means Dr probably got 500-1000 baht for that surgery
