Are you under the care of a neurologist?
Do you have any past problems taking opioids? I have a prescription for Percocet 7.5 mg. I can take 1 1/2 pills per day. Since I switched to Tegretol for my neuropathy, and have been going to PT twice a week, I usually only take one pill per day. When my pain really flares up from activity, I have Prednisone 10 mg that I can start taking. I did that this morning, and will take it for 5-6 days until my hand pain ( from gardening) calms down.
All these solutions have come over time, working with a neurologist, pain doctor and rheumatologist. It’s like a part time job, keeping my pain and neuropathy symptoms under control.
It sounds like you need to call your doctor’s office today and tell them exactly what you just wrote. You need to be seen, re-evaluated, and get a new plan. Don’t feel bad about doing that. The doctor can’t help you if he doesn’t know, so keep working with them until you find the right solution. And show him this!
I have idiopathic length-dependent small fiber poly neuropathy, and (maybe) fibromyalgia. I am a retired nurse.
