Hello, Jon- and welcome to this forum. 
Sorry to hear about all of your chronic pain and medical issues.
And- FWIW- thank you for your service, too.
My brother was in the service for several years- and he got hurt while performing
service-related duties- but not to the extent that you are. Well, he got hooked on
pain pills after a few years; and he did try Suboxone- but he did not like all of the
"hoops" he had to jump thru/ the "red tape" that he had t o deal with- with the VA-
regarding getting his subs. So he just went off of the sub; but I do think he still takes
Ultram for his pain sometimes…
Anyway, I really do hope that you get some pain relief from your Suboxone. I do
know of several ppl on here who do take it for pain control; so, maybe they will come
along and give you some of their experiences with that.
I do know that Sub did help my post-op pain recently- after getting my gall bladder
out- a lot better than the hydrocodone/acetaminophen that the surgeon had given me.
(I have a thread on that on here- under the section "Surgery and Suboxone"- I believe.)
Well, thanks for reading this- and good luck!
