Hello, I’m Irret and have been in pain for 23 yrs sign first Fibromyalgia 2001 onset (I had bad fall onto stone floor in 1981 while & mos pregnant. Next a Chiropractor “popped” my bk at T5 twice, and I heard a cracking noise. From then on I have had awful pain at that site. Next, bone spurs surgically removed from left neck 2007 (resulted in some nerve damage so left neck, left arm, left shoulder and hand hurt all the time and two fingers in left hand are numb). Next, constant burning at T3 and down Rt leg and foot because dr hit a nerve with the needle during an epidural at T3 in 2010. Next a Chiropractor hammered the bk of my neck very hard with an electric hammer - without explaining what or why and also without my permission.. He obviously didn’t bother to read the paperwork I filled out in his office my first visit - where I wrote about damaged nerves in bk of my neck. Daily bad headaches began in 2016;
2018, Redudent Dr at an Advanced Pain Clinic injected Bupivicaine numbing agent on my left Occipital Nerve Greater Branch and stuck the needle into the nerve instead of injecting the solution around the nerve so she injured the nerve permanently and I’ve had hellish pain there ever since. Because of that hellish pain I had a series of Ketamine IV’s at a Spine Institute but on 6th IV I had a huge Hive develop on my leg - it was an allergic reaction to the Ketamine (not everyone reacts this way). At present I’m on Lyrica and Medical Cannabis. I’m allergic to Hydrocodone.
We chronic pain sufferers can pray for each other to keep on keeping on.

I'm sorry you are going through this. I also have fibromyalgia and was wondering if you take the Lyrica and cannabis for that condition. Does the Lyrica help with pain relief? Also have type of cannabis do you take, and does that help with pain? Thanks.
