So Im trying to manage with ibuprofen, which really isn't helping.

I have degenerative disc disease, bi-polarism, arthritis. I have always told my docs upfront
About all three of these diagnosis so they know what meds to give. Well was given a very bad
pain medicine "methadone" for long term pain- hydrocodone for "breakthrough" pain...I told my provider it was makin me sick and she gave me a stomache pill! My therapist flipped out due to my heavy pain meds interacting with psych meds. Long story short we had it out and I no longer take those meds, but do take lyrica..was tryin what u r tryin but been havin a breakthru sine all day yesterday but too tired of ER rooms and same ole lecture! Just once I wish these damn docs could jump in my body and then tell what I should do! Bet it b different story huh! Well I just wanted u to know I am in same boat and hoping for either a rizotomy or surgery so "normal" can b somewhat in my life again. Not worry if I am moving wrong or Doing too much? Haha I got four kids and a grandchild in my home, docs outa come live with me for a week and get a reality check. I believe docs have too much power over our bodies, minds, and what they put in them. Don't we have a say in our progressssion??
