Hi everyone, I have cervical/lumbar DDD, a few damaged discs etc and fibromyalgia. We are trying EPI Lumbar area now, They arent working.
Anyway, i was wondering if anyone else has DDD, arthritis, nerve damage and Fibromyalgia. If you do, what do you for pain. The EPI did not work, it made things ALOT worse for me pain wise so far. Shot 2 is next week. How do you get your pain management dr to address the fibromaylgia also?

" I would be happy if my pain management dr would put me on something for all this pain that i can take. I can't take NSAIDS (ibuprofen etc) because i had the gastric bypass and only have my lil pouch, my surgeon took out my old stomach.
I was supposed to have my second EPI this week but my driver fell thru at the last minute. So now i have it this coming monday.
lovely, i move tuesday lol. anyway, i have a appt with them on the 30th to address pain management meds etc.
I already use my tens unit, hot baths , heating pad, etc etc. I know the pain will never go away completely i just want it to be treated so some of it goes away... "
