My doctor recommended me to start tracking my pain. It seems kind of silly to me, I'm always in pain, what exactly am I tracking? Has anyone done it? Maybe he didn't explain how to do it well. Did anything come of it?

Thanks

Hello @achy38, how are you feeling today?

Thank you for starting this discussion. Tracking your pain can actually be quite helpful to better understand your pain patterns, triggers, and the impact it has on your daily life, even if it might seem a bit unusual at first.

So let me go ahead and tag a few members of our community who could share some advice with you:

Have you ever tracked your chronic pain? If so, what method did you use and what specific information did you record?

Thank you so much and have a great day!

@Somya.P My neurologist gave me a script through the state dispensary for aid with sleep. It helps with sleep. The script is for low dose THC, so it aids with minor pain. I have learned through my trials of product that CBD gummies help with sleep, but not pain. In my state, CBD gummies can be bought at local corner stores.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.
