    • Close Chronic Pain

      My abdominal pain was caused by surgeon error after a laproscopic gall-bladder surgery a year ago. Sitting, laying, and standing is hard to do. I have tried to file a malpractice suit but no lawyer has been willling to take my case. They feel that nerve and muscle damage could happen with any surgery, yet when ever doctors have run all these tests, they comment on how they have never seen so much damage. All of my doctor's appts. and medications have put my family into financial downfall.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Not Working
      this medicine helped a little but not enough for my pain specialist to continue it
      Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
      I had to go on MSIR because I was taking multiple Hydrocodones to even help with breakthru pain.
      Lyrica Not Working
      This medicine did not help at all. I felt horrible on it.
      Pamelor Working / Worked
      Works well at 75mg. When upped to 150 mgs it had major dry mouth, metal taste in mouth, and sleepiness.
      Paxil Working / Worked
      Works fine
      Zanaflex Working / Worked
      THis medicine has helped greatly with the muscle pain
      Morphine Working / Worked
      THis helps a lot with the breakthrough pain
      Morphine Working / Worked
      after a period of initial swelling, it seems to be doing as good of a job as Avinza.
      Morphine Working / Worked
      did a great job, but gave me scary weird dreams everytime the dose was increased
