Chronic Pelvic Area Pain
UpdatedBeen dealing with this chronic pain for 8 years. Five years ago after trying every cream, soaks, acid cream, non-narcotic pain medications, anti-depressants and surgery, I was prescribed Percocet 5-375. This provided me relief enough I could do "normal" things like go out to eat and a movie, trips up to 3 hours, wearing semi normal clothes. Then my doctor retired (Richmond va) and for 7 months I have been trying to find a doctor.......it's not going to happen. Now I am taking 1/2 of pill 3 times a day or 4 times if we have an invite for dinner (which is happening less and less). Is there any help? The only thing they (doctors) agree on is that I will probably have to live with the pain forever!!!!! Help has to be somewhere. This is a life altering condition. I considered myself to be a healthy, normal person until 8 years ago. It affects me daily but worse it affects my family anyone that has the misfortune to be in my life.

Hello, Ebbie! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain.
What is your specific diagnosis?
That would enable me to advise you more. Are you seeing specialists, such as a gynecologist?
The FDA classifies Percocet as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
What type of surgery did they perform?
