After knee and hip replacements doctors prescribed very addicting opiods for pain, until I discovered kratom. It was truly a God-send! I have always tried to opt for natural remedies for my medical problems, and kratom is the ONLY one that can touch my pain. I have very severe arthritis throughout my body and severe spondylolesthesis in my low back, along with several pinched nerves in my spine and neck. All of these cause severe pain that prevents me from living a productive life. Without kratom, I would literally become a cripple (I'm not exagerating). Kratom has done for me what doctors (with their highly addicting drugs) are unable to do. I will ALWAYS choose the natural alternative. Please keep kratom legal! Thank you.
