Since I'm only 3 months in she is hopeful the therapy may do the trick but we'll see. We did discover my body doesn't process codeine so that's why tylenol 3 wasn't really effective.
Fingers crossed, I'm just starting down this long road...

Hang in there. I myself am on Neurontin (Gabapentin) & buprenorphine pain patches (+ sublingual buprenorphine) since 2004; I have chronic CRPS (both legs), which means it's never ever going to leave me.
Oh well, it is what it is. This September I will have this 23 years, since the age of 23.
