As a person in the roofing construction field for nearly 20 years im pretty tore up. I'm taking 4-6 10/325 Norco a day and fill like shit most of the time. The pain i go to work in would put most people on disability but as im self employed can't do it. 30 % tear of acl in left leg, severe shouder impingment on my left shoulder and a buldging disc on my L1 and sever disc degenration of my entire lumbar region to the point i have lost 1 inch of height and my facet joints are now rubing together causing more pain and issues. So yeah im screwed.and im only 35. For a health conscience person who rarely drinks and has never smoked, knowing the norco is destroying my liver sucks. But what do i do?
Having no real alternatives I'll be trying marijuana tincture. Deep purple for sleep and hopefully qrazy train for pain , but still be functionable to work on elevated heights. I realy hope the tinctures work since the one time i tried to smoke was laughable and unpleasant.
Not all health care is bad there is alot of bullshit thats for sure. My wife is a manager and medical biller for a 3 doctor nurosurgeon practice.(Spine and brain) The amount of presuure from drug and instrument manufactuers is nuts. You wouldn't believe the red tape and amount of hoops you have to jump through to get anything resembling work done.
