Pain Medicine

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I have had so much trouble getting pain medicine from doctors. I am now

in pain all the time and I am on Darvocette and Robaxin (muscle

Relaxant) and Celebrex. The Darvocette is the strongest I can get, yet

it doesn't stop the pain. I have tried other doctors but they just want

to put me on the new anti-inflammatory drugs, most of which make me sick

and I cannot take. Celebrex is the only one and it only seems to help

the knee and ankle joints from hurting. So for the arthritis it's

helping, it's just the FMS that I'm having trouble with right now for

pain relief. Lately I hurt so bad I'm starting to worry I have cancer

or something. But it's comforting to know that others seem to be in a

bad flare right now too. I have all the problems everyone cites here on

the list so I will not go into those. I would just like to know how

most of you get these heavy narcotics to help with your pain. I should

mention I do not see a Rheumatologist, just a regular D.O. Is this the

key? I'm just so sick of all of it and not getting anything for

relief. Any suggestions? I am not a drug addict looking for a high. I

really need some pain medicine that works.

Thanks

Donna
