Original Post: A doctor told me it’s not good for polio survivors to take medication for pain because pain’s telling you that you are overdoing. Masking pain allows you to keep over doing and cause more nerve damage. You shouldn't mask muscle pain -- or any pain -- that is telling you to slow down or stop.

Dr. Bruno’s Response:   You don't treat pain from overuse with morphine or marijuana. You treat pain from overuse with LESS overuse! The only pain that is directly related to neurons failing is muscle pain caused by over using remaining, poliovirus-damaged neurons.

ALWAYS go to the source of the pain.
