sciatica relief

I started kratam a year ago at my local descpensary store. I was majorly depressed and had chronic pain. I have a past history of opiate abuse going over 20 yrs. I'm a retired nurse and during my nursing I developed severe lower back pain that has gotten worse since I've gotten older. During the end of my addiction I was shooting up IV opiates from morphine to herion pretty much anything I could find without stealing on the job. In order to feed my addiction back then I looked for legal ways to get a high. I bought unwashed poppy seeds and poppy pods to make tea. I started shooting up Benadryl because it gave me a euphoria effect. I've been clean from all that since may 2018. I started kratam to treat my seasonal major depressive disorder. It healed that like over night. I did not realized it was helping my pain till I stoped it this last July and went on Suboxone to help with any withdrawal. I went off it due to digestive issues which being off it I realized it was from the pot gummies I was taken for sleep because being off kratam and still having no appetite.
I also realize by being off it for a month that it was really helping my pain. As long as kratam is still legal I plan on taking it the rest of my life for pain. My sciatica has gotten worse and my lower vertebra moves back in forth. I have to put my right light up to my chest to get the vertebrae back where it belongs. sorry I'm not the best writer.
