I UNDERSTAND his position...I'm at the end of my rope with this chronic pain. I hate how the tricyclics rewired my brain. I'm still messed up from them. It changed my personality and quite frankly messed up my sex life. I don't like being touched. It's got to be the effect of the meds.I hurt even when I had pain control, I would lay in bed most of the so I could go bowl on my league, I'd be screaming with pain (pain has volume) but I was doing what normal people do. I also went to the gym 2x week. I had about 2 days I had to stay quiet and lay down <sitting in a chair or standing hurts>
But even when I had enough narcotics to,control my pain, I would KNOW if I hurt myself!!I don't want more drugs but I am suffering with this pain, I have Cymbalta waiting for me at the pharmacy. I read the reviews on line from users. Not great for people with nerve impingement in their backs--down their legs, or hip bursitis I am meeting with a neurosurgeon too. I'm desperate..
Okay crew 'm going to get up my nerve to try it and I'll report back how it works.
Thanks for feedback.
