Thanks for all the info! I will definitely check it out. My pain management doc is so/so. He hasn't given me any grief for writing for meds, in fact last week he wanted to add fentanyl patches to the mix but I was a little hesitant. But his bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired. I guess I feel like if this thing is going to last forever I had better pace myself so I don't become addicted or tolerant to the meds and they won't work anymore. But the unrelenting pain is breaking me down mentally and I am afraid of becoming hooked on the meds. Thank you for your kind words. I wish I could find a support group on my area but so far no luck. Will this ever go into remission? Or am I stuck like this forever....?
