Chronic Pain members - Welcome, please introduce yourself

@landrew62 You are very welcome. I have shown my wife this site, and we are looking everywhere we can to try and find someone that has any idea what my medical issues are. I understand your husband wanting to get off medication, and I have been off of everything they had prescribed over the past 3 months since January. If I can do anything without prescriptions, that's what I try first.

I will certainly post my pain management plan in April. Thanks for welcoming me to the group.

@marcd2k That's wonderful that you're off meds. Gives me hope!! Good luck to you!!

Hi, I am Dixie and I had a Fusiom a year ago February. Last April pain started in legs and lower back. Now it’s all over my body. After X-rays, CT Scans, MRI, injections the pain only gets worse. Blood work recently only showed anemia. Hydrocodone is how I go each day. Nobody can get me to the right doctor.

I’m Todd, I’m having chronic pain issues with my legs. I posted my situation but can’t find it anywhere?

I’m Todd. Not sure if my preceding posts made it? I have chronic pain in my legs. Several tests completed and nothing revealed. .
Has Anyone used a Functional Doctor before?

@landrew62 I missed your reply, thank you, and good luck to you as well!

@dixiekidd76 Hello Dixie, I had Lumbar Fusion surgery about 4 months ago. My nerve/leg pain started about 2 weeks after the surgery. You didn't mention if you have tried anything besides the Hydrocodone for the pain. I was prescribed Lyrica, 75mg, 3-times per day, and within 2 days there was a big difference in the pain level, and after a week, the pain was gone and I was sleeping really well.

@a757contrail Hello, Todd. Have you had recent surgery that is causing your pain? Or did you just have pain in your legs you are trying to figure out? The reason I'm asking is I had spine surgery about 4 months ago, and after two weeks I had intense leg pain that kept me awake all night. I was prescribed Lyrica, 75mg, 3 times a day, and within 2 days it was noticeably less, and it was totally gone after the first week.

@marcd2k
I have not heard of this pain medication. I will ask my pain management doctor about it. I will try anything to stop this pain.
I will update when or if he will subscribe for me.
Thank you for sharing.
Dixie
