Dear LisaPeach,

I also extend my sympathy to you.....

There might be a lot of good information for you on the RSD/CRPS site here....where posters are dealing with severe chronic pain. I'm not sure if you are seeing a specialist in pain management....but it does seem essential you do so now.

Also, what Zygopetalum wrote about a painful reaction to opiods seems to make sense...especially in the context that they are not the best option for neurological pain. Perhaps a PM specialist can help you sort this out and also suggest other treatments to both wean you off and more ably address the pain.

I truly wish you the best in finding help for your situation.

S
