Feeling at my wits end with Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia | Last Active: Dec 5 4:07pm | Replies (325)Comment receiving replies
Question for members I am taking 3 percocets daily - 10/325 prescribed by pain doctor. I take it as directed and at times less than 3. I know opiods can cause issues with other organs in the body. When I question my use I then go out for the day, shopping, etc and the pain in my feet, legs and back is unbearable and I take the pain relief. I am diagnosed with neuropathy, fibromyalgia, lymphedema, numerous back problems and osteo arthritis. Is any one else taking that much of an opiate on a daily basis.

No because my doctor won’t prescribe anything that gabapentin and that’s it
@summertime4 I am 77 now with fibromyalgia , 2 fractures in back, neuropathy , osteoarthritis I have been on Tramadol since 05 without any issues it is the only thing that helps with the pain when severe otherwise I take a liquid Advil. Dr. has me on Gabapentin for neuropathy Meloxican for arthritis I was on Percocet but it did nothing for me . I hope you find something that helps you. It is a trial and error for a lot of things fibro especially. For the burning nerves in thighs I just apply a cool washcloth that helps or ice for awhile.

I take percocet four times a day, sometimes just three. I have excruciating burning pain from PN, along with neuropathy feet, legs, arm, I have neurogenic bowel & bladder, from spinal injury, and constant back pain. Just getting over from a fall breaking my foot & hip. Surgery to rebuild hip
with rods, shunt, wires. In rehab two months, now will never walk right on leg, pain always.
I take my percocet without guilt! I hope you can do the same! Good Luck!
