I'm sorry. I don't really know what to say but hugs to you. I spent most of my year not taking the pain meds and now I can't stand it with the pain meds.

What is going on with you? Are there any other treatments you can do that do not involve the pain meds? Can you get a pain patch, shots, anything else? Can you find another doctor who will understand that you are in pain and you need something?

The doctor doing your replacement should be prescribing something. Toradol is one of the least addictive if not completely non addictive pain meds there is. You should speak to him/her

Ouch

My girlfriend takes Tramadol ... not the exact cure for fibromayalgia but it takes the edge of the pain she suffers
good luck trying to convince your doctor ... you need a 2nd opinion ... My girlfriends doctor seems to understand what medicine she needs when her previous doctor thought it was all in her head!

I'm so sorry for your pain. If your dr won't give you narcotics maybe he would be willing to try cortizone for the pain and inflamation in your back. I have a friend who has had good results with the Lidocain patch, also non addictive, and you place it on the area that is hurting. I hope you can get some help soon as there are other options.

In the meantime maybe you could try hot baths or showers and heat. Good luck to you and please keep us updated on how you're doing.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
