CTB is the best pain killer ! It's the only one which will work me. I've tried everything else...tramadol, morphine, fentanyl, steroids....you name it, it simply doesn't work ! When I tell the doctors this they say it's not possible I'm some kind of weirdo ! Oh yes, I forgot, there is only one thing which works for me: sitting in very cold water (like 2-3 degrees celsius) for 30-40 minutes ! I think it's because the body then releases endorphines to reduce the pain the icy water triggers in your body, and they also make you slightly high. Most people don't believe me when I tell them that I do this, since under normal circumstances you lose consciousness when you sit in such cold water for more than 20-30 minutes, but I must have a physiology different to most people...resistant to the strongest types of painkillers and resistant to cold water !
