I do understand what you are feeling Rochelle! I only take my pain meds when I am so miserable, I cannot stand it anymore.... Then, it only takes the edge off as I have waited so long...

Taking the pain meds is like admitting I am not my old self.... It's a control thing w/me.... I am currently using Tramadol as needed, but if anyone has a better suggestion, I'm all ears as I don't think it's doing that great of a job.... thanks all!
