@akristykat I really hope your doctors are giving you sufficient pain meds. If not try 1) different doc, and 2) if not forceful. can you learn? I find it helps and if the doctor is alienated it means their egos are too important. I find, I know many can’t handle it, but larger doses of gabapentin for fibromyalgia and other neurological disorders. I occasionally use Tylenol 3 because all the others have so many side effects. I find being assertive helps otherwise the depression wins.
