I don’t know what type of pain you have or if you are seeing a pain doctor but I did. I do see a neurologist for migraines and Dysautonomia. My neurologist prescribed muscle relaxers at night for migraines and gabapentin. I also am prescribed Cymbalta for Dysautonomia and a side effect of that drug is pain relief all over body. I would suggest you go to whatever doctor is treating you and try to slowly stop opioids and find something else for pain. It depends on what and where your pain is. I also had an ablation on my neck for pain there from Dysautonomia. Good luck.

Thank you I will speak to my specialist about these medication, my pain is nerve pain everywhere, it hurts to be touched if that makes sense! I have a heightened pain sense than others, everything hurts, I feel like I vibrate with pain and get lots of shooting pains all over that feel like hot big needles going into my skin and nerves, then my RA give me inflammation and joint pain, large welts all over my body most days that can swell up so large I can not move that area of my body, it’s all very weird to be honest, my pain never goes away wakes me all night long and fatigue and brain fog riddle me useless most days
