@orthogurlz: Have you heard of Journavx (suzetrigine), a new kind of pain medicine for acute/post surgical pain? I haven’t prescribed it yet for patients but am really interested in this as a narcotic free option! #orthogurlz #pain #painfree #arthritis #kneereplacement #surgery
I was able to try Journavx! $30 with insurance.I will say it provided some relief but it was much less than I expected. I’m not sure this is a realistic replacement for opioids based on my experience.

This new medicine worked no better than the placebo? They pushed it through anyway

Find one insurance company that will cover it and get back to us. Why don’t you try it after your next surgery, and let us know how well it controlled your pain.

This medicine work AWESOME!! Only...... I was 10 days in to taking it for a total knee replacement when I broke out in hives all over my body. I was so upset because it worked so good. I was happy that it got me thru the toughest days where I would've had the worst pain.

This is not a good medication for chronic pain... Don't get too excited, you'll find out it does not work.

Got to tell your doctor very interesting but I have a knee replacement was the most painful surgery you ever want. It’s like having triplets at one time I’ll take the pain pills.

Journevx is very expensive…$15.50 per pill. Current pain meds maybe cost $1 per pill. Sometimes Drs are out the loop when it comes to pt cost

At the current retail cost of apx $450 for 2 wks, it may be affordable for short term usage for only some patients unless insurance covers it or one qualifies for the patient assistance program.

This has been a godsend to me. I’m 67 and have dealt with debilitating nerve pain (spinal) for almost 3 years. This is a miracle to me.

This is why people will now suffer in pain and not have surgery and also why people are no longer living! It’s inhumane to not treat pain!

So as long as you give patients choices, I think it’s a good alternative. ✌️

This is not a good medicine for chronic pain. I may only be a nurse and can’t diagnose, but this is a placebo. At best.
