Hi All,
I am asking for your help because I have to go to my neurologist this Friday and I need to find out what type of pain medicine I can try that work on us RSDers. I stopped using Fentanyl last week (yes, I thought I was going to die last week) and have started OxyContin (again) since I had an allergic reaction to the Fentanyl after a few years and had to stop it. The OxyContin is not working and I wake in the morning in severe burning pain and then the pain medicine is gone too. So, I get a double whammie of agony and can't continue this way and need something time released I guess. I need something that will help me sleep through the night (if there is anything that works for me) too if possible. I have tried just about everything under the sun and nothing seems to work. There has to be something maybe new on the market or a few years old to help with this unbearable pain. I don't think anyone should have to suffer in this way. I have full-body, Fibro, Rheum. Arthritis, and Osteoporosis too which doesn't help much either. Any suggestions would be a great big help to me. Thanks for all your help and great posting. Hope everyone has a better day today.
