MFWTK where to get opiates if he is legitimately in a lot of pain.

My friend dislocated his vertebra in his lower back, the chiropractor is confident he can pop it back into place before the disk slips and has a treatment plan in place. However, the chiropractor cannot prescribe anything for the pain, and has told my friend that it will hurt even worse as it heals.

My friend has all the xrays and reports that he can give to a doctor to prove he's not just trying to get high, but he tried going to a walk in clinic and they said they can't prescribe pain medication. Where can my friend go to get help? He says the pain is excruciating.

If they can't prescribe pain medication, your friend would want to figure out what state they live in so he can find out the legal details and requirements behind that so they can possibly visit another clinic or hospital and get that prescription. I recommend you go to r/legaladvice to ask for help if you know what state your friend lives in and want to know if your friend's situation calls for it.

Or you might have been asking about the less licit side of things, and that's fine. Your friend can get help with that on r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs by chatting with people and looking at the sidebar to get started. Tell your friend to be safe, and I that I wish him a speedy recovery.

Edit: swapped pro subreddit with novice subreddit

My bad, I only lurk so I didn't know there was a subreddit for beginners. Thanks for the tip.

Your friend needs to see a doctor who can prescribe medication. He can find a regular physician to see (so he had a primary care doctor who gets to know him and his condition) or he might be able to see a doctor who specializes in "pain management".

establish yourself with a primary care doctor. chiropractors are quacks who do more damage than good

Seriously this. Also, stay away from opiates. They do more harm than good.

Some will fuck up your life badly enough with addiction that you'll wish you stayed off them.

Some chiropractors are more like physical therapists and are very good at their profession without claiming the crazy stuff like “Chiropractic corrects your aura and is the cure for cancer.” However, yeah, there definitely are “quack”-o-practors that do claim the crazy non-scientific based stuff who will likely sell you essential oils. If you find a good chiropractor who doesn’t upsell their work and treats it much more like physical therapy, then you’ll be fine when dealing with chiropractors.

I do definitely advocate for OP to talk to a primary care physician before attempting to get any form of opiates and get their opinion on the specific chiropractor adjusting their back back in place.

So, when it comes to things like resetting vertebrae in place, what can a primary doctor do? I've only seen them refer to a chiro. And before people start believing that they're all quacks, the one I went to for a similar issue got rid of the pain over the course of a couple months.

I don't think many doctors would refer you to a chiro, if anything they would refer you to an osteopathic doctor or a physiotherapist. Physiotherapists can do all those fancy adjustments and will indicate you exercises to prevent the problem from recurring. Chiropractors tend to only do the adjustments, relieving some pain for the time being, without fixing the cause of the problem so you end up needing to go back to them repeatedly.

Ah, mine did give instructions on exercises as well as adjust, but I can see how others might run a racket by not doing that.

The chiropractor should be able to recommend a local doctor that he has seen work with other patients.

If your friend is in a lot of pain why is he specific about wanting opiates? Wouldn’t he be happy with any relief from pain?

Chiropractic is pseudoscience. Going to a chiropractor can make things worse and injure your friend more. Go to an actual doctor.

Tell your friend to look into kratom. It is legal in most states. He can easily obtain it on his own without a doctor. Is just as beneficial as opiates (for some people even far more). Far less addictive and there has never been one single overdose proven to be attributed to kratom itself. I have been taking it for over 3 years for chronic pain and anxiety and it has COMPLETELY changed my life for the better

Head to an urgent care with all the medical records and explain the situation. They still might deny you, but you can also ask for a shot of toradol. That can be helpful and isn't a narcotic.
