Personally, I use Tylenol 1 g twice a day. At night I take 600 mg of gabapentin. That helps me sleep. I recently was asked by orthopedic MD, how do I you sleep? Both of my shoulders are not in good shape and he wondered how I slept with, both shoulders in bad shape & bad back. I told him I kind of am not directly on my shoulders, but kind of at an angle banked on pillows. I just got shots in my shoulders and going to start physical therapy on them.
So between the gabapentin and a very tiny dose of lisinopril at night and a tiny dose of metoprolol that was just added, hoping to get rid of my headaches, That’s what helps me sleep. I think I’ve just gotten used to pain.
I also get radio frequency ablation done in my back, which I will have in September. They seem to work in my back pretty good. Sometimes I will get epidurals as well in my lower back. But haven’t had to do that in a while, but could be getting close to having to do that again. Everybody is different and seems to have different ailments with their dish. Pain management will probably be your friend.
Again, I hope you find what works for you!🙏
