Hi there I know exactly which are going through I suffered with chronic pain for about eight years took pain medicine hydrocodone like to win out of my mind.  I found a company that sold nutritional products that claim to be the world's best that would balance your pH factor and do many other things.  So I thought I would try them it took me a little over a year but now I can honestly say I'm pain-free and feel a whole lot better.  I hope you are and find something that will help you because I know what your going through.  I hope you have a good day.
