What haven't I tried? Just about every med I've been on has been sedating. When trying a new med you have to start at a low dose and increase very gradually. The first time I tried Lyrica I couldn't stand the sedating effects and I slept all day. Second go around we went much slower and now I take a higher dose of it than I ever did.

Celebrex is a med that helps with the achiness with no sedating effects that I'm aware of. Of course there is the increased risk of heart attack and GI bleeding. Alone, Celebrex just doesn't cut it. I take about 20-25 pills a day to manage this beast and I'm still about a 7/10 pain.
