Chronic Back Pain for Years

@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?

@contentandwell I have amphibians for the creepy crawlies and really do not mind bugs. I also purchase fresh flowers at the grocery. Mostly in the winter and then I check to reduced rack. Also have several houseplants.
Okay, again I veered off topic. I can get help to have happy eyes and in a way it does help the back, etc pain.

@hopeful33250 Thanks Teresa. I actually took those pictures to send to my daughter, she had sent me an assorted beautiful bouquet of those (can't remember the name right now) last year so now they make me think of her.
