I need one. For my back. Any recommendations on how to approach the doctor, other than just walking in and saying "hello, write me a vicodin script for life plsnthx.."? Because that's about as crafty as I feel I should have to be at this point..

You'll probably have to go through the number of weaker painkillers for a few months then hit the dr with it.

What do you think they would suggest? I don't take tylenol, and percocets make me sick. Im not real familiar with any other pain meds that I can think of right now.. I only have experience with vicodin and know it doesn't make me sick or have enough tylenol to screw up my stomach.

Vicodin has acetaminophen in it.
What is wrong with your back, and do you have physical proof? That's what really matters here in determining whether you can get on some sort of pain management.
Kratom works about as well as hydrocodone.
You'd probably get T3's before hydrocodone.
If you aren't familiar with opioids, I would suggest you keep it that way though. Say you were somehow able to get a hydrocodone script. Months go by and suddenly your prescribed dosage does almost as little as an ibuprofen. Then you start doubling down, but your tolerance continues to grow until you're taking everything your doctor prescribes for the month in 5-7 days. Now you run out and feel slight withdrawal, plus your back pain is worse than it ever was before you got on the stuff(that's what happens,) so you ask around for some relief and end up trying morphine/oxy/hydromorphone/heroin - point is, hydrocodone is weak but it can lead you to harder opiates and has done it to many a person.

It's been banged around a few times but what kicked it off was when I was on a swing set as a kid and on my down swing the seat broke and went straight to the ground. I can feel my tailbone is broken and healed crooked and where my spine would 'meet' my hips is constant pain and when it goes out I can't even stand up. I get those lightning bolts down my legs for no reason too so I'm sure if I ever got x-rays it would show visual damage.
I like the krat but it doesn't do anything to kill pain, it's more a stress reliever. It targets my head mainly, so I use it to 'catch a buzz'. I need something that literally 'loosens' my back muscles (tenderloins?) when my back cuts out because it clenches up and spasms etc.. when it goes it feels like someone is sawing through my spine with a blade that's been sitting on a hot stove burner.
Im not a doctor but to put it in my terms I need something that targets my body, and not my mind. Kratom is good for a head buzz, but does nothing for me to loosen up my back, or kill pain. And I don't even know what they have to offer as Im not too well versed in pills other than vicodin, and ibuprophen. I guess I'll just have to explain my situation to the back specialist and see what he/she says..

You should try a skeletal muscle relaxant before an opiate then. They might actually treat your symptoms rather than just block the pain.
You can probably order a generic version of Robaxacet from Canada, which is a combination of tylenol(or you can get ibuprofen or acetylsalicylic acid instead) and methocarbamol, which is quite a strong muscle relaxant considering it's legal. Aside from 150-200mg of heroin, which is not sustainable, it's the only thing that helps when my back goes out. My back is out pretty badly right now and the only reason I'll be able to get through work later is because I have two large bottles of tylenol/methocarb that I got for $3.99 a piece.

Yeah I don't mess with the tylenol, but you say you can get it with mix of ibuprophen and it's legal here, and to come across the border etc?
I've never heard of it before, it's not a kind of knock off drug like etizolam etc. is it? It's 'safe', and all that when used 'responsibly' and is ok to work on, and comes from an established company?

Yes it's sold OTC at drug stores here in Canada, but is prescription only in America. I feel like it's okay to import it though, but you should check to make sure.
Some people say they feel it or get high from it, but I think it's a placebo. I've never felt a thing and consider it fine to work on. All it does is relieve muscle tension and kill pain.

Yeah I can't do that breaking the law thing. I'm too old to have anything like that on my record. It's something I'll bring up with the specialist. Maybe they'll know about it or a kind of equivalent and be able to cut a script so I wouldnt have to worry about the legal shit, or riding around with it in my car etc.

What I meant was that it's prescription only in America, but it should be legal to import a certain amount into your country; the same sort of idea as Americans who come here and buy tylenol with codeine and then hop back over the border again. As long as it's not massive amounts, they don't mind.
Although if you're going to a doctor, if you start with asking for a muscle relaxant, you'll seem like you're exhibiting much less drug seeking behaviour than you would if you just went and asked for an opiate.

I would advise you to go to the doctor and tell him exactly how bad this pain is--the hot saw is a good image. Then, let him prescribe something for you rather than you ordering up what you need. For one thing, they don't like being told what drug to prescribe.Also,maybe he knows of something new that's come out that would be better than vicodin.

no theres not anything better than vics for pain unless its another opiate...
your best bet is to say vicodin works best for you
he might say ok or he might say lets try you on this or that first
then try that and say it doesn't work..eventually he'll give in
this is your doc
