@gailb I see the pain specialist/neurologist in August. I will ask him about the Tramadol. Out of desperation I had botox injections from DDS because of TMJ. Not FDA approved for TMJ and set me back $1200. Trigger point injections in several areas as the clinching/grinding had my upper back (scoliosis) in a lot of pain. I have a splint and having it built back up has not helped. All docs around are fearful of prescribing anything stronger than OTC's. Hopefully this fear will pass. I don't have a history of substance abuse. The injections in my jaws has helped some. The whole body is connected!!! No relief from the other injections, but it can take 3 to 10 days to notice any change. Sure hope I did not throw that money a way.
Anyone else have experience with botox injections?

I’ve had Botox injections for neuralgia pain in my head. For me it did not work. But, I know people that it worked for and they swear by it, returning every 3 months for repeat injections.
I have 3 nerve block injections for my pain done every 3 months. Because they work for me I swear by them.

@lioness It is said great minds think alike--I was about to ask our dear @parus if she had any new artwork. I hope everyone has a good day. My head is a bit foggy. Beginning this Friday, I am having family come for a visit.. My son in law is being transferred from Germany to Texas. He is in the US Army. I look forward to having my daughter live closer to me. I hope you all have a good day.

@sandytoes14 No new finished artwork. I am also a shutterbug. A capture from my secret garden which is now starting to kick in. @grandmar Thanks for the info!!!
@lioness TMJ is causing the head pain. Also DDD of neck and lumbar along w/ fibromyalgia and scoliosis. Attaching a drawing from last year that visually shows how my pain feels at times. Apologize for shaky hands, but best I can do for now.
