Hi, welcome to the group. I know what your feeling I have had chronic pain for

12 years and have forgotten what it's like to not hurt. I take lots of meds and

still hurt. I take one day at a time and try to remember that someday it will

end. lol. Isn't that wishful thinking. lol. I also use biofeedback and nature

tapes and try to relax and kind of help get the pain to a tolerable level

sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Just try and keep your spirits up. And

find a good pain management doctor. Here's hopeing you find a happy medium. Hugs

p.s e-mail me if you need to vent.

Hi there,

I'm late in going thru my emails so this may have all ready be suggested to

you, but here goes.

Have any of your doctors suggested a pain clinic to you?

I have been a patient with a pain clinic for many years now. For over 15

years before that I suffered, occasionally having medications and treatments to

help but not on a regular basis so I could get any lasting help.

That has changed now since being with my current doctor. I still try

different treatments and medications and some help and some don't. I'm always

searching for new ideas to help with chronic pain.

I would think that this would be the way to go. Not all pain clinics are the

same though. It's important, at least for me, that a pain clinic be willing

to work with me in finding relief. I know my body and how it works. Not all

doctors appreciate this. Also it was important to me when looking for a pain

clinic that they also be willing to prescribe appropriate medications to help

relieve pain.

For me that's narcotics. Not all people are willing to do that nor do some

patients want it.

I hope this helps and as I said this may have all ready been suggested to you.
