Hi, so I have a problem the NHS hasn’t been able or willing to help me with, so this is pretty much a shot in the dark. I’m wondering if anyone has experience with dark web marketplaces and can recommend one?

My situation - my lower back and right hip are pretty fucked. I probably need a hip replacement - bad hips run in the family - even though I’m only in my early 50s. I have a job that requires a lot of physical activity, and it’s been increasingly challenging for me to get through the day. Recently a friend gave me some tramadol, which I found very effective - I could work without pain, just like I could a few years ago.

Obviously I’ve had this conversation with my doctors, but they said basically ‘No way are we prescribing you that, take paracetamol and try not to exert yourself’. TBF to them, they probably have addicts come in every week with a similar sob story.

So I’m looking for any suggestions as to an alternative source. Ideally legal options, but I’m wondering if the dark web could be what I need. I know nothing about it though.

I really don’t want to have to give up my job, and paracetamol / ibuprofen just doesn’t help. And yeah, I’ve tried the ibuprofen gel, also doesn’t help much.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Also, apologies if this violates community guidelines

    Yes, it’s definitely addictive. However in the couple of months my friend was able to provide me with tramadol I kept it at the same dose every day, didn’t permit myself to increase it. I see this as a necessary medication, not something to take for fun.

    And I know it’s addictive - my friend had some packs left from after a surgery, and when they ran out I had a pretty rough week. I consider that a small price to pay for being able to fully function without pain.

    I just have no idea how to use the dark web or find reliable suppliers.

    I’m aware that there may be problems with postage, but this is a prescription medication - it’s not like crack or something! I’m willing to take the risk.

    I’d rather go down a legal route, but that’s not worked out for me.
