Mine started along with everything else in a slow progression over about a year, then leveled off and has been at a constant but not progressing to any significant degree for the past 4 years. (First Dx was 12 years ago, but its been longer, I think)
It is now under control with Lyrica & Tramadol.
Each of us is different, and no two stories are exactly alike. You cannot glean information about yourself, from the way others react. You just have to wait & see what is happening with you, & take it from there..
