Hi, Rose. Welcome to the family. And we are a family too, by virtue of everyone here knows what it means to hurt 24/7.
That's amazing you're getting my on a NSAID with all that pain. I suppose the cognative therapy helps, but still. In my mind, it's just a shame that your doctor quit trying pain meds on you when you didn't tolerate just two of them. There are many, many pain medications. Not all of them are narcotics, though many are. The thing is, you need a doctor willing to try them on you to see if you tollerate them.
I'm not a doctor, and I wouldn't pretend to tell them how to do their job, but it seems intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that if you got low doses of a given medication to start with, and then got increasingly larger doses until you reached a dose that took care of your pain, that sooner or later you might come across a medication that you not only tollerated, but that did the job.
Was that a run on sentence or what? But you see what I mean. I guess what I'm saying is, you might need to change doctors. That's not really unusual. We proabaly advise that to 75% of the people who come to this site. Their biggest problem is they have inadequate medical care. And I think you might too, even if you like your doc.
Welcome again. Over on the left is a lot of information on chronic pain. Let us know if you have any questions.
Lots of love and healing hugs,
Dan
