Hi Syndey,
There is no such thing as complete pain free with CP. The meds reduce the pain and allow some function.
In my case--they keep me out of bed or in my recliner allowing me to do some of the things I like but I wont ever go back to work as a nurse again.

I have limits but I am very grateful to the meds in getting some of my lfe back.
What pain meds do you take?
