Suggest Medication For Severe Chronic Pain
What happened to the Drug AVINZA, how can they just take it away, when it is what gives me any kind of life. I ve gone through other Morphine and Pain killers, and AVINZA was a G-d Send to me, a Miracle Drug, a Life Saver, compared to before it. But now they just take it away and are not going to make it. I don t get it. They (Pfizer) may be helping phobics to Drug abuse, but they re not helping me with a literal day in and day out Severe Chronic Pain problem? I have no way to pay, and don t have the money right now anyways. Part of why I wish I had been the drunk running people over, and not the one getting run over. Sorry I did not know there was a cost. Good Day, and my Battle goes on!

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the cause of chronic pain is matter of concern as that may be from arthritis, fibromyalgia or others. The Avinza contains Morphine sulfate, which is available in other formulations made by different companies, but it is scheduled prescription drug to be used by expert consultant advise only.
You have multiple options to consider the pain management as:
- Joining similar patients group
- Assisted physiotherapy
- Consultation of expert pain management specialist for
@ Prescription of similar content drug with easy availability
@ Non-opioid drugs as Tramadol hydrochloride, working at CNS level in same pattern with equal efficacy
@ Interventional pain management as in terms of epidural analgesia or nerve blocks etc
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
