I Have Fibromyalga Disk Problems With Pain Down Both Arms & Legs
(Newest replies first)

Updated

My doctor of over twenty years fear of new laws took my narcotics away. Lyrica causes weight gain & my face & legs to swell. Advil made my mouth swell shut so narcotics were a few of only things I could take. I wish the pill mill doctor would be sentence to two years of what i live with. constant pain even with med, living a tortured life watching others live. I have been doing this over 15yr I really don,t leave the house much, it is just too hard

Hey!
You need a new doctor - either a pain management practice or a rheumatologist. Treating Fibro with opiates is the wrong therapy. No doubt you are dependent on the opiates, but you probably have no idea how much pain those opiates are creating in your body. A good multifocal approach to treating the sources of your pain, and not just the spin itself, will give you MUCH better pain control without opiate brain fog and euphoria. Good luck!

Hello, Jean! How are you doing? I am very sorry that you're in so much pain.

Your doctor didn't refer you somewhere else? You can still get those types of medications, they just have to be prescribed by a specialist, which for you would be someone trained in pain management.
