Some of the medication that I take now, I have taken for 20 yrs. As different situations occur, my medicine dosages have been adjusted and re adjusted to try to keep up with the severity of the pain.Just a week ago I was started on a new pain med, Tramadol. I have had more than one pain management Doctor and five or six Neurologists. At different times I was put on Oxycontin, methadone, morphine suckers, (yes, that one is strange) morphine pumps, a patch to wear right on my cheek, two balloon compression procedures, on and on. I am not on any narcotics now and it was not easy getting off of them.
It's been a long journey. Some of the pain meds that you will use can be so different from someone else. I'm sorry that you have to go through any of this. Bless, Doodle bug.
