Looking for Pain Management Strategies and Medications

I like bio-freeze or ZIMs freeze cream and Voltaren ( generic Diclofenac) topical NSAID. My fibro makes all hot creams hurt more than help.

Tramadol XR made my pain go from a constant 8 to a 3

Horizant (extended release gabapentin) and amitriptyline have helped a lot. I also use lidocaine roll on stuff that I can just get over the counter (it’s like icy hot but doesn’t make you smell like walking toothpaste and has lidocaine in it instead of menthol) and salon pas patches for some of the acute pain. And of course heating pads.

Neurontin (Gabapentin) was very helpful when I was on it. I also have a chronic pain problem for a failed back surgery and I go to pain management for opiods but they aren't really helpful for the FM.

Gabapentin has been really beneficial for the fibromyalgia aspect of my pain

I took a lot of different NSAID but over time they stopped working for me. My doctor started me on gabapentin and methocarbamol which both have helped me tremendously! Also trigger point and acupuncture really help me as well!

I wasn’t allowed medicine and have just dealt with it since, unfortunately
