Hydrotherapy and pain meds?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I hope everyone is having a pain-free day. Unfortunatly, it's stormy

here in South-Central PA and I'm really feeling it. I had an

appointment at my regular doctor's, last Thursday. She increased my

Lyrica and my sleep meds for me (thank goodness!)and she also wrote me

out a script for hydrotherapy. I'm to call the hospital and set up an

appointment. Has anyone else tried this? I'm kind of anxious to get

started, but I'm also wondering how long or how much my insurance will

cover? I guess time will tell.

I also have a question about pain meds. I take darvocet, as needed.

It usually helps, but when I have a really bad flare, it doesn't do

anything. I asked my regular doctor if they had anything stronger and

she said that she didn't like prescribing stronger narcotics, I needed

to find another combo of meds to help. I see my rheumatologist June

6th and I'm wondering what she'll say.

Thanks!

Gentle Hugs,

Kristi
