Hi and welcome! I’m sorry for the suffering you endure, chronic pain is a terrible thing with no simple answers. You could benefit from sub but unfortunately the only way to find out is to give it a try. We have many members here that use sub to treat their chronic pain conditions. Some have had great success and pain control while some have not. If you are currently being treated by a pain management Dr they can prescribe sub for the treatment of pain. A Dr only requires the waiver if prescribing sub for addiction.

If you decide to give sub a try and you are not getting the pain control you require you could always go back on your current pain meds. Another option is methadone (which can also be prescribed for pain by your Dr). We have a member here that switched to methadone because sub was not adequately treating his pain and is doing great on methadone.

If there are any more specific questions you have about either don’t hesitate to ask. We will help you to the best of our ability.
