Thank you for sharing your experience I am glad that icing and Advil helped you. Unfortunately nothing helps eliminate my pain! I have tried icing, Advil, Tylenol, Norco, Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta and even Morphine, but nothing helps. I have suffered with intermittent every other day pain for many years and none of the twenty plus doctors and specialists that I have seen have been able to diagnose or treat my condition. I truly appreciate everyone who shares their thoughts and suggestions with me and hopefully someday by the grace of God the answer to my suffering will be found.
