@turboc6 Welcome! Wow, you're doing a great job with self-management of your symptoms. Thanks for the inspiration to our Connect community and very helpful tips on how you manage. Please always feel free to share what has helped you. It never hurts to have more tools in the pain management toolbox.
You make a valid point about injections no longer working. It happened for me too, and same with pain meds, they lost effectiveness and were actually amping up my pain through hyperalgesia. Have you considered weaning off medication considering you take a low dose already?
