I can't imagine being left on your own to deal with pain after 10 yrs! I wish I had an answer but it looks as tho you have tried everything up to this point. What about a new dr?

Yes, as you seem to have tried all the obvious options I can only agree with Dalecl. A new doctor might be your only course right now. Hope that you can find one that can help you as pain is hard to cope with.

Don't have any idea of your rights as to living a pain free life in Canada. Maybe some of our family members up north will chime in. If you do not get replies on this, just add a reply to this on Monday. Things are slowest on weekends, especially this a holiday weekend.

I see where the Lyrica and the methadone both make you swell. Were you on these at separate times?

Have you tried Cymbalta? It is an anti-depressant that helps some types of nerve pain as well. I am on it and swear by it, not just for help with the nerves but it gives me a little lift to get moving most days. Hope you can discuss this with your doctor and maybe give it a go.

There are a world of meds out there to try, the squeaky wheel gets the greese so they say. I would insist that they help you.

Try www.pain.org they are one of several pain associations that can offer assistance as far as your rights to get treatment.

God speed, hope to hear from you soon.

Ouch

    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...
