hi hi my name is Dawn, I have been suffering from venous leg ulcer for 2 years now. mostly my fault I was deathly afraid of doctors it was a fear I had instilled in me as a child through my mother as close as I can tell. I am seeing a wound care specialist now for the last 3 weeks but I cannot get my pain managed I can hardly walk to the mailbox I can't go to the store I can't walk out the backdoor and play with my dog. my GP has me on one 5mg Norco every 6 hours. I can tell time by my doses. it's just not enough but I don't want to go tell my doctor I want more cuz I'm scared he'll cut me off completely. with the opiate addiction outbreak it's just something that doctors do. I am completely at my wit's end my quality of life is null and void. I used to be the life of the party now I have no life and there are no parties. my wound does not seem to be getting any better of course it's only been a short time they just started me on every 2 days or twice a week depending. please can someone give me some advice on how to ask my doctor or tell my doctor without seeming like I'm a drug seeker of some sort. thank you in advance

    You could always try a high quality CBD oil with zero THC. Natural pain medicine, and will keep you from getting addicted to pain meds. Good luck.
