Q: Are opioids the only option for managing chronic pain conditions like neuropathy?

While chronic pain can be challenging to manage, there are several non-opioid options available that can help reduce pain while supporting recovery. These include:

• FDA-approved non-opioid pain medications
• Physical therapy and exercise
• Heat and ice therapy
• Lidocaine patches
• Massage therapy For those in recovery, medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) like methadone or buprenorphine can help manage both pain and cravings simultaneously. These medications can be combined with counseling and other support services for the most effective treatment outcomes.

It's important to work with your healthcare team to develop a comprehensive pain management strategy that supports your recovery goals while effectively addressing your pain symptoms.

All other treatments do not work for severe neuropathy. Opioids work well without negative side effects, why the concern for addiction when the condition is permanent?

I have that same question ā‰ļø I live with chronic pain. I've had 3 cervical infusions, 1 back surgery. Having more issues with my back. Hurts to walk and stand. My doctor stopped all at once giving me oxycodone after being on it for over a year. Have always took it as prescribed. Working Just fine with My pain.
Now I'm worried about withdrawals and hate talking about it because I want to sound like an addict. I'm 59 and don't want anymore surgeries. Just want to live with out pain.
