Kratom for pain relief? Help needed please

Hey yall, I am trying to find natural supplements to help my husband with his back pain re: bulging and herniated discs from his L5 to his C3, spinal stenosis, sciatica, and disc degeneration. He hasn't had problems in years and just recently due to his workload and physical demands around the house, is now in pain again.

I want to see if kratom will work for him and would really appreciate any help, input, experience, etc from those of you who have personal experience with it in regard to similar pain and injury that he is having. He would need something he can use at work without being sleepy or groggy.

Unfortunately we live in one of the few states where it's schedule 1 so I can't order samples or have anything shipped here, but the state line is a short drive. We will be vacationing there soon and can pick some up to try.

Can you recommend any gas station or head shop brands that are decent? I wanted to get some different kinds to try and see which works best for him before purchasing a larger amount.

Thanks

No, I don't want a high. Hate how pain meds make me feel.

High THC cannabis like a mothafuka…

Yeah well you take morphine continuous release and think low dose kratom is going to work?
Its the equivalent of loratab??

I take the powder. 10 years ago i took a leveled off tsp. Now it is a rounded one. I also take turmeric with it to make it stronger.

Maybe you are not taking enough or it just won't be sufficient for you.

People eating pot need to bake it on foil 20 minutes at 200 degrees so it changes color, then be careful as it will be much stronger.
Decarboxylation makes it absorbable to eat and its too strong for some people that way.

I have been using it for years for severe back and joint pain. It works great for me. I take 4, 00 size gel caps I fill myself from bulk. It is inexpensive.

I have never had withdrawals or found it addicting but I do not abuse it, I use it in moderation. Most people say red vein works best for pain, I like the white vein best.

I got the red. Then I read that white also is best as it works better without sedation.

"Kratom can cause effects similar to both opioids and stimulants. Two compounds in kratom leaves, mitragynine and 7-α-hydroxymitragynine, interact with opioid receptors in the brain, producing sedation, pleasure, and decreased pain, especially when users consume large amounts of the plant."

meaning It literally binds to the opioid receptors..
its an opioid.. stop falling for traps in order to cope
