Hello @motorcarrier, I'm Rachel, its nice to meet you. I like your attitude about not giving up however sometimes the search for a solution can be exhausting and excerbate pain. Like you, I found that there was no miracle medication that proved worthy that didn't add side effects creating more problems.

The management of chonic pain requires many solutions for the long haul. Physical, emotional, behavioral and chemical are the 4 components Mayo Clinic's Pain Rehabilitation taught me to be all in on for the rest of my life. I graduated the program last year and it was life changing by giving me a foundation and a plan to live in chronic pain. Here is a link:

Have you ever considered a comprehensive pain management plan?
