The best pain medication I use is Kratom. Have you heard of it? It is ground/processed leaves from a tree that mainly grows in Indonesia and neighboring countries. It is a crime to process it in some US states. It is legal in Canada. I don't tell my Doctor that I am using it. The Government and the Medical industry don't want it legalized. They use misinformation propaganda to demonize it. There are millions of users in the states that have a shared saying..."It saved my life." I dove deep into finding the truth about it to avoid RX pain meds. If you get interested in it we could make it a subject here, if K-Dog feels it will not draw unwanted attention. :)
When you get to "scene of the mishap" I would think you will be a lot better off than you were, lying there, pinned by the tree, and in shock ( glad you didn't faint ).
I have not heard of it, I will check it out though. I had a few Morphine Sulfate pills and a few Cyclobenzaprine to help with the pain. I used them up fast and then only had Tylenol #1 after that. I wish I could have stayed in the hospital for 6 days and been kept in a comma until the swelling stopped, it was that bad. I had no idea skin could stretch so much without bursting. Yes, I can be upright with the help of crutches and hobble around ok now. I know I am lucky, It could have gone much worse.I hope in a few more days I can get around without crutches.
