weaning off pain med..questions

[fuzzy]

They do consider both my surgeries a failure but I disagree and it only shows how many doctors come to premature conclusions (including German ones!) rather then carefully study the whole case.

My surgeries are not failures as my low back moves better then it has since I was a teenager and the neck surgery took away the serious issue of loosing control of my lower half due to spinal chord compression. But the pain from the cervical myeleopathy spinal chord injury has been going UP and quickly surpassed moderate medication attempts and I do agree with the experts that opiates in my case are a total failure to actually *control* pain without serious harm to the patient.
