@parus, Does this post mean you attempted to get a script from a doc for something a little stronger than OTC? And with all you have going on physically, they would not even give you something low dose or non-narcotic?

Parus I'm bummed today ,fatigue and burning pain in thighs don't go together to well

I am sorry for your pain today @lioness! I know that doesn't do a lot for the pain, but know I will say a prayer for relief and you are not alone. Take as much care as you are able, Gary

@gman007 None of the others have helped such as Gabapentin, Tramadol, antidepressants such as Cymbalta, Savella, Effexor and the list goes on. I was told to get out and walk to build muscle to help with my pain. I said nothing. Took the numbing agent shots which will help for about 3 days. Just say thanks and go back in 3 months for shots again. An insurance thing. Also told to continue seeing the therapist who has already said there is nothing more she knows to do. PT will not be covered by insurance. So yes, I am bummed. Not wallowing in self pity either. My pain is medical and x-rays show thus...I do not have a history of drug abuse nor psychosomatic pain. He suggested I take nauproxen with acetometophen. I don't think this would be healthy for my liver/kidneys. I have done so as recommended at last visit. No need trying to reason with a doctor. Insurance also has me restricted as to what docs I can see. Most are fearful of prescribing. Is what it is...

@lioness No this is not a good combo. I am having a lot of pain in my ribs as well as tingling all over. Hope things improve for both of us and others as well.

Thanks it does in knowing others know the suffering we all go through just wish there was a miracle drug

For Minerva pain I take a homeopathic ,it helps me,called Nerve Pain Formula by Botanic Choice hope you feel better

I am currently at Mayo with a sick child but can relate to you all. taking a moment to rest but I do not medicate with any major fibro meds. LDN has proven helpful. I am being treated by an Integrated MD.

Is this a general practitioner or a pain specialist? I know there are almost no GP's who will write an opioid script, but pain management docs, for the time being, will still prescribe opiates for pain that does not respond to anything less. Pancreatic pain acts a bit different than back or joint pain and there is nothing that truly is designed for organ pain. I have had something similar to an epidural in the nerve center nearest the organ, but without any noticeable results. Have you thought about the nerve stimulators that a number of members here have spoken highly of; I would not know anything about their results. Take as much care of yourself as is possible, Gary

The last few days has been so hard on me. Will I have to out up with this forever? I asked the doctor for a stronger pain med and she did nothing. I take Tramadal The only way that helps is if I take it all day long. I slept almost all day today. Off and On. I asked God to please heal me
