Chronic pain in from osteoarthritis & stenosis
Chronic Pain | Last Active: 1 hour ago | Replies (109)Comment receiving replies
If you can find a pain doc try corticosteroid shots in your lower back & try diclofenac &/or dual action Advil (otc) &/or THC gummies and/or journavx (new pain drug) or Flexeril &/or Elavil &/or low dose Tramadol. All these have helped me at various stages of PN & low back pain (stenosis). I’m so sorry that at this stage in your life no doc will help you; you should not have to be in constant pain. I hope you can find a new pain doc & get some help.

@sue4 what type of doctor do you see for these meds? orthopedic surgeon? Neurologist? . Or Pain Mgt?
@sue4 you have used journavax? What was your experience?
@sue4
FYI—Journavx is not for chronic pain and will do little or nothing to help chronic pain, it is for acute pain only. I know, I tried it. The literature on Jounavx says that chronic pain involves sensitization of the central nervous system and Journavz does not do anything for that. Acute pain involves different nervous system pathways, and, as I understand it, Jounavx acts on them.

@sue4 Thank you so very much, Sue. You have given me many options to look into, which I appreciate.
If I'm unable to get any pain relief, I will have to consider
MAID, but only as a last resort.
Have a great New Year.
