Hi, I've been a chronic pain sufferer with fibro, deteriorated discs & other back/neck issues for several decades. I've found massage and acupuncture to be helpful as well as swimming twice weekly. I'm not interested in going to a pain clinic where I'd be given narcotics and have to go to see the provider monthly.

Welcome, @smartgirl. Swimming is such a great activity for people living with pain. Good for you.

Your mention of fibromyalgia and back and neck issues made me think of connecting you to others in these groups and discussions. Check out these links:
- Spine Health group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/spine-health/
- Have you found anything to successfully treat fibromyalgia pain? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/dealing-with-fibromyalgia-pain/

Have you considered a pain rehab program that doesn't rely on medication solutions?
