Well, Kimmy. Welcome to the family. I'm Dan, one of the managers here. The others will be by to welcome you shortly I'm sure.
Your problem is those drugs aren't getting you ahead of the pain curve, Kimmy. On top of your FMS, the extra pain you're experiencing just isn't being impacted by that level of pain medication. You need stronger pain medicine and more of it.
I would say to try to find a pain clinic and get a referal there. Meanwhile start to keep a pain journal or diary. Every day write down what your pain was on a scale of one to ten. There's a sample pain Chart over on the left there you can use as starter. Make each level relate to you though. That's mine and it relates to my own experience. A level one is no pain at all, and level ten is the worst pain you've ever had.
Take that informaion with you when you go to the doctor. I like to keep mine in a spreadsheet and make a graph out of it to take to her before I go. There's a picture of that too over there.
Welcome again. Let us know if you have any questions.
Healing hugs and lots of love,
Dan
