I am able to get on with my life as normal. “I first received therapy at CPRx to relieve back pain. I have tried to speak about the effects the medication they used has on pain in the mind; not just body pain. It has kept me out of the hospital for depression. I don’t understand how it works, I just know it does. My husband says it is magic.”
The pain stopped and I was still thinking clearly. “I was told I would need at least one surgery for knee replacement and injections of cortisone for the rest of my life because of a progressive arthritic condition. Afraid of narcotics. I tried Buprenex with the doctor supervising. I was amazed. In 15 minutes my pain was gone. I was thinking clearly. Over the next month, I quit my other medications, returned to work, and began to feel like myself again.”
My pain, my addiction, my problems are over. “I used heroin for years. At first, it controlled genuine pain from injuries. Then I used just to feel good. Finally, I used “just to feel normal.” CPRx has helped. I stopped using one night and had an appointment the next morning. This is miraculous. I have no need and no cravings. My problems are over.”
