Chronic pain...that is sort of what started things. I have been bugging my doc about several things. One of them is the pain. Currently take 70-80mg daily of Oxy, a mix of the extended release and the immediate release. Between that and needing Xanax to get ANY sleep I am a zombie. Have decided to return to the pain clinic for injections/RFA to try and manage my lower back pain some. Hoping that if I stay on top of my visits to the pain clinic...and this headache shot helps....that I may be able to reduce the narcotics some. My doc did agree that if the new med helps with my headaches that he will think about helping me lower the narcotics...just to see if I can deal with the pain. The rheumatologist just had some blood work done, wants to see where my inflammatory/pain markers are at. Dale is starting to think that some of my pain may be related to all the arthritis....and that they may have a better way to treat all this crap than just throw pills at me...but he did caution about getting my hopes up...
