Sorry to hear that you are in pain. But what sort of pain? Do you have any pain meds that might help? Have you had it before and if so what did you do then to help it?

Just noticed that it is now 8 hours after your post so I imagine that things have sorted out one way or another. sorry I couldn't help but I was not on line at that time - it was supper time here (Australia).

Try switching between ice and heat alternating every 15 minutes ending on heat. ice, heat, ice, heat, ice.

Maybe it is time to have some of your meds switched. You are the right type of meds, might be you are used to them and need a different type for a few months to get your system to respond to them.

a friend of mine has fibro and I have MS...the pain can be awful to deal with.I would speak with ur doc about what u can do about the pain. There is medication out there that can help. Whether it be non narcotic or narcotic pain meds. I also find with my MS that heat aggravates it. So I would experiment around with ice and cool compresses, if that makes it worse go back to heat.
Sorry wish I could be more help.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
