Fibromyalgia Pain Relief: Chiropractor or Pain Meds?

OMG you poor baby ! Why can't Dr.s just give us wat works.oh wen I was on Oxycontin, my doc sed lemme know if you get addicted and I'll yank it idiot Rrrrright foolio.those ppl that don't need it and are dealing it screw it up for those who need it

Thank you everyone for your input I appreciate it. I have a Dr's apt soon so will be discussing it

It's crazy how gabapentin affect everyone so different

Gabapentin made me sleep walk. Fell several times. Down the steps. Broke both collet bones. At different falls. Never take it again.

I stopped taking gabapentin. It made my ankle swell. I do take duloxetine which is Cymbalta. It seems to work. I'm also taking ashwaganda

I haven't, I was told it could weaken my muscles to get cracked all the time. But not everyone is the same.

When I could afford it I was going to the chiropractor 3 times a week. I not only got relief, but I was able to walk for exercise again too. I was taking pain medicine at the time as well, but that's because I have several painful conditions. I have tried Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Tramadol as mentioned in previous posts, and for me the Lyrica worked the best.

Medical marijuana has been helpful for me. It doesn't take the pain away but distracts you from focusing on the pain.

Lyrica has worked for me and there is also a generic for it. When I get really tense and tight and it hurts to move and when I do move my body pop and cracks all over that's when I go to my chirpractor. He always scolds me for waiting so long!

Tramadol helps me

I have been seeing a naprapath for 3 months an have reduced some medications an added things changed my diet has changed a little. She is gradually changing me to a better anti inflammatory diet without giving up up every thing I love. She’s also started me on homeopathic medication that are also helping. So if do. Find a good one.

Anyone try cymbalta? Thats what my Dr wants to try next.
