I was in a car accident in '04 and had to have bones in my neck replaced. I have titanium plates, screws and rods and was on fentanyl for a long time. I, myself, decided I wanted a lesser pain med and was talked into suboxone by a Dr. Now, in the past 2 yrs I'm still on suboxone. I've been diagnosed, since then, with chronic lymphoma leukemia, small cell lymphoma, an in named auto immune disorder, hoshimotosis thyroid disorder and still suffer from further spinal degeneration and spondylisis.... My knees swell (will be drained again tomorrow) and the pain is at the point of unbearable. I don't have any more Chemo, atleast in the very near future, but Dr'a now tell me suboxone is not for pain and pain meds will not work for me. PLEASE....HAS ANYONE GONE OFF SUBOXONE AND ONTO PAIN.MEDS? IF SO, PLEASE TELL ME THEY WORK. His leukemia has word up its cell production and I'm at my wits end with pain. Drs don't understand I "chose" to go on suboxone so when I was older pain.meds would work.... I was building too much of a tolerance. Any help is appreciated. Thank you :((
