Ugh im so sick of not getting any extra meds for acute pain.
During my almost two year of chronic pain in my wrist Ive had a broken nose, a broken foot, kidney stones, minor toe surgery one wisdom tooth removed and another wisdom tooth coming up at the moment. All with no extra meds!! Its a crazy world.

Brighton,
You've probably been through this already, but this is a BIG thread ;)
What are your normal meds, and may I ask what your condition is?
It's amazing to me how many CPP's don't get bt meds? !?!
 
Anyone else have to deal with "Prior authorization" from their insurance company? It's a joke!

Basically to "stem the tide of painkiller abuse" my insurance has made opiates all require prior authorization. This means that when I get a new or different script, I have to wait for days to get it approved.

I luckily can pay for it and get reimbursed so as not to go through withdrawals every time, but for those without the money...I feel bad for them. It does nothing to stem abuse, you can still buy it!

Im on DHC, tramadol, gabapentin and sometimes lorazepam.
Its next to impossible to for me to get anything stronger.
I dont really have a diagnosis which is weird/annoying. My MRI didnt show anything.
 
What's up tri? I haven't asked you how your pain is doing recently.
On a positive note, I got my medications back after two weeks of wd's, since the cortisone shot actually increased my pain level. I finally got some meloxicam too, which is my to to NSAID. If I don't feel better in a week I've gotta get another MRI and discuss going in for another scope surgery.

It is hard in NZ for people to get pain medication?

It seems like it's difficult for anyone outside of the US really.
 
^ Yeah totally, any of the stronger painkillers like morphine or oxycodone are difficult to get prescribed.
Since there is very little heroin, people generally use homebake heroin (morphine + AA) so doctors are really wary of giving out the good stuff.

My pain clinic is also really bizarre, they are under the impression opiate painkillers make chronic pain worse.

Good morning D2P!!!!!

I hope you are comfortable today. Text me<3

I miss talking to you.



For the rest of us CPP I hope everyone is in less pain.

I had this epideral injection in my lower back yesterday and my back is so tender. I can't bend down or lift anything.

It hurts to sit lay or walk.

But the sensations going down my legs are less. Not much my legs still hurt. I hope it kicks in today.

I really need some relief.

Ohhhh, believe me I have been through that garbage. Before I actually was officially diagnosed with endometriosis, it was SO SO hard to get any medication that did any good. It was like the MD couldn't wrap his brain around the fact that I wasn't suffering from "menstrual cramps". I mean I hurt all the time. I was pretty much forced to take birth control pills and all kinds of awful hormones and when they didn't work I had to have surgery in order to get my diagnosis. Instead of removing the endometriosis, the dr. accidentally cut me in the wrong place and it just went downhill from there. It's really frustrating when you KNOW you are in pain and tests don't give any answers:(
 
^^^ Im the same really no Dr understands my condition and i am more knowledgeble than any of them it sucks

I went back through the thread a little, and saw your post about your condition being degenerative, and having severe widespread pain...that sounds AWFUL :( Although my pain gets severe if I don't take my meds, at least it's pretty much limited to a specific area. Doomed, have they figured out what your condition is? ? And are you prescribed anything helpful?
 
My condition is complex regional pain syndrome type 2 stage 4, there is no cure no meds or other treatments help much Im never lower than an 8 and i have tried everything available. Im trying methadone and duloxetine next to see if that helps. My condition causes pain in my entire right side including my eyes and face, my left foot and leg looks Llike my left shoulder might be starting with it. It also affects my stomach, adrenal and hormones, my womb, migranes, noise and light sensitivity everything really it sucks
 
Good Morning, Everyone! Hope you're all doing as well as possible today. I want to share something sort of strange that I've noticed lately...
I absolutely dreaded my daughter going back to school this year. The end of the summer was really tough for me pain wise and she seemed to keep my spirits up ( I know, I know, sounds selfish lol). Over the summer we pretty much went to bed when we wanted to and got up when we felt like it. I intended on starting to send her to bed earlier and earlier each night about 2 weeks before school started to get her back on track. BUT, before I knew it school was starting, and I thought we'd both have a really hard time with the new routine... her due to going to bed late and myself due to the high levels of pain I had been experiencing (along with a bit of depression).
I've found though, that having this routine actually seems to help me in many ways! My pain level has improved a whole lot and the depression is gone.
This may sound silly, but one of the first small signs of depression for me is when I stop coming to BL lol.
I guess my question is....do any of you notice that a routine helps your pain (both physically and emotionally???
Thanks guys!! :)
 
I find meditating at certain times of the day helpful. Morning, lunch, dinner, bed time and at random times during the day when my pain gets too much for me to deal with. I also keep a pain anxiety and depression journal which helps tonnes i write in it every 2 hours then write a massive entry at night, to help me process my day and get all of the icky thoughts out of my head and into my journal free to re read it and deal with difficult emotions when Im stable enough to tackle them.

Also i found the summer holidays better for my pain as we didn't have the usual morning mad panicky rush going on every day lol.
