Thank you for taking the time to comment Anon. I too find the new regulations to not be appropriate for chronic pain patients. It would be different if first there had been a major amount of money spent to research and provide alternatives for those who need regular pain medication. This is a bit of the cart before the horse.
My best suggestion is to seek physical therapy to see if working with an experienced therapist may afford you some relief. They can instruct you in the use of TENS machines or other treatments. Seek pain management doctors who may use other treatments such a nerve blocks or ablation therapy of a nerve tract to reduce your pain or compounded topical medications that may provide relief. There is also Lidocaine patches and NSAID patches as well.
