I Have a Question Concerning Chronic Pain Treatment?

by admin

As some of you have read some of my questions you maybe somewhat aware of my circumstances.I have treatment resistant depression along with chronic H/A-the pain management specialist explains them as migraine-muscular tension, and fibromyalgia of the muscles of the head neck, and shoulders. I have been having fentyl 600mcg medicine that is absorbed inside the gum and inner cheek. I only have one doctor prescribing medication, have an agreement contract, the whole nine yards. Yesterday I had two lower jaw teeth extracted along with a bone graft. My oral surgeon suggested to continue with the fentyl medication 2 days after the surgery. Now my pain management has decided to only allow me to have hydrocodone 15mg. tabs 1 or 2 every 4-6 hrs.My tolerance to medication is high therefore my pain is not being controlled.Would you share with me your experience with chronic pain, the management, and the control that you receive.I feel that I will never get the pain controlled . HELP PLEASE
ADDITIONAL; I cannot begin to thank you all so much for the concern and the information.If more doctors would talk with their patients instead of down to us,think of the possibilities. Im giving this edit to my question just in case there are others that would have to the answers already.??how to I acquire the information or how might I learn these things with the information from India and were did you all learn how to put these things into practice? would you help me a little more? I am so sick and tired of my monthly trip to get my so called answer to the pain. I am 53years old and I feel that Ive lost those years to all quick fixes or under the control of the legal dealers handing out what they want to at the time. I want to get my life back and I thankyou all so much. I want to put the practical into action. It will not happen overnight but I want to try.

You are relying too much on meds and docs. Try alternative solutions. I have been told so much crap by docs over the years that I should be dead, and so many pills pushed on me I should be a zombie. But I fought back and fought them and refused to live that way. It took time but I found alternative solutions to my chronic pain ( have permanent nerve damage). Chiropractors have helped me. I was told I had clinical depression and that it would never get better, and pills were shoved at me. I changed my diet and lifestyle and take a pill twice a week instead of 5 a day for depression. I am rarely depressed now. I am too busy getting outside and exercising, breathing fresh air, staying busy. Fibromyalgia is directly linked to depression, treat one you will get rid of the other. Pain mgt. specialists are looking for a way to keep their paychecks coming in, they will not cure you. YOU must cure you. Get exercise, get busy with others, don't eat crap. Pray or meditate, find a decent chiro/ massage therapist, take vitamins and get in the sun every day. Stop taking all that dope, you are poisoning yourself. The pain and depression will ease if you change your life and your mental state. Help others, get involved, get out of your head and into the world. Take baby steps but get moving ! Best of luck.
