Hey Bri...you've probably received a million responses, but there is hope. I was on opiate pain control for several years when someone fineally did a surgery that helped me. You've just got to keep tying and don't take "no" for an answer. For those who do use opiate pain control, I've used Suboxone to get off the meds when I don't have pain and have been on them for an extended period of time. It works. RebaT
