Chronic pain and no sleep!

I have always had chronic pain.  I got worse after having a leak after surgery, a few car wrecks, many surgeries.     I am not able to take much for medications...... What I was taking worked.  I started seeing a new doctor and they took it away.  I am so tired of seeing doctors.......  I been to neurologists, pain management, psychology.  I just am so frustrated.....

I hear you loud and clear! I have chronic pain too. Just had vsg in May and I'm hoping I get some pain relief as I lose weight. I've got to schedule follow-up appts. with neuro and ortho, etc., etc., etc. I sleep in a recliner due to back pain. So tired of being tired and being in pain. But no matter what, I'm glad I had surgery! Hope things get better for you!

I have chronic pain due to degenerative disk disease in my back and fibromyalgia.  I have no pain meds anymore because my PCP won't prescribe them anymore because... well, it's a long story and you probably already know how it goes.  I have been seeing a rheumatologist and am on cymbalta and gabapentin, both of which I think are helping with the fibro pain, but there are still times the pain is really debilitating.  I also think the warmer weather has been helping and am already dreading winter.  I've had plenty of nights I could not sleep due to pain.  It's terrible.  I'm sorry you're dealing with this.

I can not take much for medications.... They make me sick!

I hav chronic knee pain and endometriosis.  My surgeon expressed concerns about my NSAID use.  My knee doctor said my knees won't hurt after I loos the weight! which is good but my endometriosis won't have any help.  I also get bad headaches.  These are all concerns I have pre-op.  I wonder what I will do to.  I was thinking pain management would help but it sounds like its not helping you a whole lot.

 

Birth control is suppose to help with endometriosis.......  Use sports cream or Bengay for your knees!
