Pain Control Problems With Fibromyalgia (Top voted first)

Updated

Have tried Lyrica, Gabintin,Cymbalta,Prozac. Only Percocet with a little Valium seems to help a bit. That is starting to become ineffective.Cant exercise due to incompletely diagnosed back issues pending an MRI. What else can I do or try? I am losing mind from constant pain! Please help...

Percocet contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, so it may be the Oxycodone that's helping you.

It is available in higher doses in both regular and time released formulations, without the Acetaminophen. Have you ever asked your doctor about trying it?

Sorry for not answering sooner. Forgot I o posted this thread! I guess it's the Fibro Fog. Anyway my dr won't go past the level of Percs unless I go to Pain Management dr. Tried that once & they treat everyone like junkies. Has anyone truly had any luck with acupuncture & physical therapy? Or swimming exercises? This is what people are suggesting. Any thoughts folks?

Yes. Acupuncture by a Korean O.M.D. has helped me somewhat but I went for 4 months 1x/wk 1.5 hrs each session and took his meds before feeling better. I took physical therapy which worked on mild stretching and some strengthening and am doing pilates. All these help with my pain. I'm also training myself to walk a bit longer each week. I'm on vacation now and traveling has been very difficult (pain wise). Swimming has helped during my travel. I'm in Israel now and the Dead Sea actually took my pain away. Epson salt baths also help me a lot.
