@pattykakes Congratulations my friend on discontinuing hydrocodone! That is a very big accomplishment and one that will greatly benefit you overall. I also discontinued my use and have found other ways of working through and managing pain. My PCP suggested medical Marijuana which after one year I discontinued. My whole life I have detested mind altering drugs, opiates, etc...but when chronic pain upregulated I was desperate for relief and function. These decisions weren't best for me and I knew all along. I just never knew another plan, nor did my doctors. I ineveitably sought a different way of managing chronic pain and symptoms by attending the Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center (PRC). It was life changing for me to learn ways to live with my condition of Center Sensitization Syndrome (CSS) from a much healthier perspective. Many fibromyalgia patients attend PRC as well.

Have you worked with pain rehab ever? Is it something you might consider?
