Mystery 10/10 pain, getting hard to keep going

@heisenberg34 hi, yes I have a primary doctor as well as a pain management doctor and other specialists. I’ve tried some pain meds / trigger point shots nothing works I’m not sure why. I’ve asked my pain management doctor for other alternatives but they seem to be pretty close minded because I’m so young.

@bellamarielongo Wait until you get old...say over 70.

@bellamarielongo Sorry to hear that your pain doc isn’t being helpful. Pain does not recognize age. If you’re in pain, it needs to be addressed.
Non surgical approaches first. Meds, PT, getting a full assessment via testing(blood work, X-rays, MRIs,etc. I hope these have been done.
Surgical options would include a spinal cord stimulator, Scrambler therapy, and a pain pump. I would like to think that at your age, surgical options would be a last gasp. If you are not happy with you current docs, you can always seek out other ones, or ask your primary physician for a referral.
I really hope you can find some and to your pain.
