@notime4pain Welcome to Mayo Connect. We are not medical professionals here, but we do share our experiences and support with the hope of helping each other on their journeys.

As you can see, there are several responses to your questions. We are each different, and what works for one may not be the answer for someone else. As @pfbacon commented, it is often an elimination process to find the best combination of medications/exercises/lifestyle to help us. That is what is so great here. We share!

You listed several things that impact your life right now. What have you tried in the past to give you relief?

I was trying to just throw some of the treatments out on here and to give an overview of where I have been in the past with the beginning stages of how my treatments began and the reasons they started and how things have changed along the way. My problems first began in December 1998 when I was driving a city bus. I was on my way to the start of the line where my route started at 6:00am. I was making a right hand turn from a double yellow line lane where no passing is allowed turning onto the side road that was where I parked to begin my route. While making the turn I didn’t see any other traffic on the road and halfway through the I felt and heard a loud crash that almost through me out of my seat and because I had my seat belt on I was able to keep control of my bus and stop and got out of my seat to see that a dumpster carrying truck had hit me and he truck was pinned in next to a telephone pole which he had knocked halfway down trying to pass me on the right side of the bus which I could tell that he was trying to pass me before I completed my turn. He thought he was going to be able pass me on the wrong side of the street for one thing. He was still trying to start his truck and move it but he had pinned himself in by the phone pole. I have add more later .
