I have been in pain management for 2 years following a bad mva. Ive had 5 surgeries, have surgery #6 in a week and a half and surgery #7 at the end of December. My current rx is 20mg a day of oxycodone (I only take 10-15 and am saving the rest for surgery in 10 days), 10mg a day of cyclobenzaprine
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia (FM) in December 2023. There are 200+ symptoms and comorbidities of fibromyalgia varying both in number and intensity from person to person. I'll share with you what I know. It's believed that FM is neurological in nature, caused by problems with the nervous system.
https://ir.tonixpharma.com/ I can’t help but get my hopes up for this drug I’ve been keeping watch on for years. He goes into so much detail for all of us curious. He does seem absolutely confident in FDA approval August 15. Expanded the workforce massively in preparation. Drug would be aimed for Q4
I find it to alleviate my back pain, but I wish it penetrated deeper into the area by the bone. Works great but I just don’t like the heavy sedation.. wish I had a Analgesic drug along with it. Best I can do is poppy seed tea. I know where to get dope but I don’t mess around with that anymore. I nee
I need to vent and also get some feedback from people who have knowledge on the subject. Going a little crazy here 😅 I have lupus, fibro and Raynaud's. All formally diagnosed. Also have depression and ADHD. I'm on cyclobenzaprine for the fibro, venlafaxine for depression, hydroxychloroquine and NS
All 3 referrals I've had so far resulted in denials, on 900mg gabapentin 3 x daily, duloxetine 60mg per day, naproxen 500mg 2 x daily, cyclobenzaprine 10mg 2 x daily. Drink 3-5 shots a night and smoke and vape 50/50 weed thc and cbd mix throughout the day to keep me sane. Have to lie down for hours
I've been on Norco, cyclobenzaprine, and gabapentin for my severe neck and back pain for a significant number of years. It's the only thing that let's me function and continue to work. My pharmacy like others has been out of Norco for months, and only because my wife had recent surgery did I become

I am absolutely going to scream! I had a vacation recently with friends where on the last day my meloxicam got packed into the bag, was unreachable and I hit a flareup mid morning. Not proud of it but I had a meltdown at some point because everything was too much and they wanted to discuss everythin
My pain doctor increased my hydrocodone from 3 a day to 4 a day. My pharmacist refused to fill the prescription. The prescription was sent to them on 10/6. They didn’t fill it. So my Dr sent it again on 10/22. Now I have 2 pills left, and the pharmacist said he needs the Dr to write out his detail
it be like that.
I had to tag this as funny, in a very sarcastic way. Talk about feeling unseen. I am on meloxicam, cymbalta and Humira for my RA. Stretching, Epsom salts baths, plant based diet just in case, meditate, starting therapy, limit my caffeine, medical marijuana. I know what I forgot, ibuprofen!
Hey, all. I have chronic pain due to ehlers danlos, fibromyalgia, carpal and ulnar tunnel in both arms, osteoarthritis in my lower back, and what I think are some other issues that haven't been diagnosed. I've had pain for years and have tried everything over the counter as well as Celebrex, Meloxic
After struggling for years with doctors that either don't take me seriously, try stupid solutions that dont work or just help me learn to "cope with it" instead of working on a diagnosis i got a new primary doctor THAT ACTUALLY LISTENS!!!! I mentioned a few different things i think i could have, she
First, this is a rant and basically nothing but a rant. I'm new here and I've been reading through a lot of posts that might apply to me. I just turned 40 in Feb of this year. Memorial day weekend of 2023 my car got totaled on a drivers side impact, and I've been in excruciating pain ever since. I'v
What’s up with Pain management drs not giving out pain killers to people who actually need it? Not everyone has addictive behaviors! I just had shoulder surgery was given a script of 30 OxyContin 5s that’s it and when I asked surgeon to get it refilled I was told to go to pain management. So I go to
