Are you under the care of a pain management specialist or a pc?
A pain management doc can help you a lot more than a primary care doc.
I was denied my meds for about 2 years and it was just awful.
I am seeing a great rheumatologist now and the monthly injections of Cimzia I get in her office for RA are so helpful. I also take a muscle relaxer and an opioid 3 times a day. It is all working together now and my pain levels are manageable.

Good luck on your pain management journey.

@mslee56 I'm with a big HMO...This doctor is my "Primary Doctor" there.

@mslee56 I'm so happy you have gotten to the point of tolerable pain. Continued good health!! It's inspiring and gives me hope.

@mslee56
I am under care of pain management. This is coming from that doctor. This will be the 3rd time trying to get it down lower.

@mslee56 I wish they would give us something other then gabapentin or Pregabalin. I can’t take this pain anymore
