@gbny1224 sorry to hear you are going through this. For me, it is more like a staggered rise in pain. Basically pain increases, then have to adjust what I take to better control the pain, that then works for a period of time (weeks to months), and then pain increases again. Unfortunately the plateaus of relative pain relief are getting shorter and the pain increases more difficult to control.

I have made peace (as much as possible) with what is going on and won’t go back to the doctor or ER and just late fate run its course.
