What an ordeal you are going through. I find it heard when the doctor says they don't want a patient on narcotics, but when there is so little to offer as an alternative for effective pain management, it is frustrating. I fully support managing pain with other types of agents, also. Such as you are doing to treat any depression, anxiety, and using neurotransmitters such as Neurontin. She is a trooper.
