I’m not getting the same pain relief as before. Dosage is 13.5 ER 2x times daily.
I've been suffering from chronic pain since 2019 after I was rear-ended. I have fibromyalgia that developed shortly after the accident. I saw in my medical records recently that my pain management doctor had also diagnosed me with Chronic Pain Syndrome. I didn't even know that was a thing.
If you've been diagnosed with it what have your doctors done and what have you found helpful for your pain?
I do from having a stroke back in 2015. It’s almost completely consumed my life. It’s horrible. I’m almost bed bound and rarely go out anymore

Ive avoided going to the hospital when my pelvic pains flair up, because i know theres nothong they can do for me. Ive taken panadol, ibuprofen, and my prescribed codeine, none of it helps and i usually end up vomiting because of how painful it can get, its imobilising. I know the hospital cant give me anything or help in any way, i usually just get a few tests and am told to go home. And just wait for my ultrasound in 2 weeks from now. Help?
@A MyChronicPainTeam Member what “tools” did they give you in the Er?
I recently had a MRI on my Neck.
They found a Lesion on my Vertebrae.
It scared the hell out of me.
My VA Dr ordered a whole body bone scan to rule out the big C.
It turned out to be Benign.
Has anybody else had this happen?
It was a major health scare 😱
Worst part is the wait.
I'm glad it was OK.

Has anyone else's pain management doctor gone so far as to suggest that PAS, physician assisted suicide, is "an option" for treating your intractable pain? Since when has this " treatment" been acceptable!?
Time for a new Dr. That Dr should be reported
