I too have been on opoids for about 3 years now. I was initially dx with rsd in the early 90's but the pain was never really treated. Every doctor I saw was opiodphobic and behavior based (AKA all in my head). I struggled in pain trying different meds the few that were prescribed and most did nothing to help. Luckily it went into remission in 2000 what a relief, and I actually did fairly well until 2007 when it came out of remission. This time it is worse, more widespread and the back and hips are involved and both legs and feet, original rsd site right leg. I can't tolerate Neurontin and didn't even want to try Lyrica since I had such a horrible reaction to Neurontin, Pain doc was a total jerk and said "call me when you decide to try Lyrica" and dismissed me. Thankfully I have a wonderful PCP who isn't afraid to prescribe for me and tries to make me as comfortable as possible. I am currently on Norco 7.5 mg 4 times a day, Robaxin 4 times a day, Celebrex, Oxycodone for breakthrough and COumadin. I also have DVT and Chronic Veinous Inefficiency, DJD, Arthritis, Myofacial/Fibromyalgia.
