@bob Gabapentin can be effective with this kind of pain but you generally have to take it in unsafe doses (and pain relief is an off-scrip use for gabapentin, it's typically used for epilepsy), I've already probably got enough celecoxib in my system to fail employment drug tests at will, Thebacon, along with having an amusing name is a possibility but it's regulated almost as closely as nuclear armaments up here so probably not really a viable option.  And honestly the only way you're going to get a natural opiod analgesic stronger than this is to straight up put me on heroin.

It's not a great situation to say the least.  I'll have to talk to my doctor, but getting an appointment this time of year is .. dicey.
