WTF? They gave you Suboxone for pain relief? If is NOT approved by the FDA as a pain reliever: The literature on the pain relieving effects show it may work for some people.

I am so sorry. The war on drugs has meant you were likely severely retraumatized as your doctors gave u a placebo for an amputation. Adequate pain management is an importance component of reducing the risk of PTSD.

Yeah i believe it was because I was on Fentanyl drip direct to nerve cluster for an extended period of time in the hospital.

Isn’t it like a drug treatment for heroin? I might have said the wrong thing, it’s this little square of stuff that tastes nasty and you have to let it dissolve under your tongue. Might have been called something else, this was 3 yrs ago now. They said it was to help with side effects of getting the drip out of my nerves.

Yes. It's used to treat overdoses and there is some evidence it helps chronic pain, but you should have been given better!
