Hers became chronic and she has had severe pain that nothing seems to help for 2 solid years now.
The neurologist put her on Neurontin, Lyrica, Tegretol,and lidocaine patches capsacian crème etc..... Since we started in the middle of MP and you seem to be a the start of MP I am not sure what advice to give. I just hated to not respond as it seems information on MP is so hard to find. I did find good some valuable posts on this site. Scour it and educate yourself on MP. The acute cases seem to resolve with time. Chronic MP is a whole different ball game. I think to be considered chronic it has to be a year or longer.

The immediate treatment for my daughter after diagnosis was meds, meds, meds, and more meds. She was so young to be a zombie on all this medication. No one locally has any answers for long term treatment.
I am sorry I didn't help much. Hope it resolves on its own.
