have a question, I have been sent to pain dr. and I had Facet injections; which were horrible anyway.. I have had an MRI & nerve conduction test to prove that I have back issues. I just need some medicine to help with the pain. My Rheumy "doesn't prescribe narcotics for FIbro Patients" My GP doesn't prescribe for patients. My Pain Dr. doesn't prescribe narcotics for Fibro Patients. So who does? How do I get any relief? We have this "unknown illness" that no one will help. I have an apt with my Pain Dr. tommorrow, Do I say, hey I have documentated back problems and nerve problems do you rx for that

I would use the back and nerve problems if it gets you pain meds.

Have you tried a naturopathic doctor? They don't prescribe narcotics either but they can successfully treat you for your pain.

I would try to find a DR who is more fibro friendly. It's basically a fact that we need pain control and I am so sorry your DRs are giving you the run around. How can a pain management DR not prescribe pain pills for you? You poor thing! I really would look into new DRs who believe you are in pain and want to help you with it.

You just have to keep searching. I was where you were at last week. I finally found a pain management doc that believed my pain. She gave me strong narcs for the pain, and knocked my pain out!!!!! Just don't give up. If a doc doesn't help, move on.

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...
