Suggest Treatment For Extreme Arthritic Knee Pain

I m ready to have my leg cut off. I ve had chronic pain from hip replacement, auto accident, and arthritic knee pain. I ve managed to BFF e med free for a year, but now the pain is unbearable. I was given script for Tramadol 100mg er, Voltaren, and soma. I m not happy about Tramadol as Vicodin became a problem after years of use, and I don t want the same dependence with Tramadol. I ve never smoked cannabis or taken any other recreational drug. But, I m pretty desperate. Please advise if cannabis is an option

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it seems that your main concern is pain so this can be managed in many ways right from the potent analgesic including narcotic group to NSAID (Non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs), in my opinion just try to bare the pain as hard as you could till it reaches to higher threshold once the pain reach here then natural analgesic effect starts taking place, it gives pretty nice result, of course it is not easy going but worth trying, hope this information helps
