Your suggestions are great as usual. As you know, Mayo has a great 3 week pain management program. For those suffering from chronic pain and rely on Nsaids and Gabapentin for relief, there may be hope with programs like Mayo or other hospitals nearby. My wife suffered with back pain for many years after multiple operations, and is not pain free totally today, but it is now manageable. 13 screws in your back is not fun. The bottom line is there can be help available including trained counselors, your doctor, and hospitals to find and minimize the underlying cause. We all hope that @elaine123 gets the treatment she so desperately needs.
