Hi besties, I’ve hit a dead end when it comes to pain management recently. I’ve struggled with poor reactions to medications or medications not helping alot. We’ve tried a couple different NSAIDs which I was taken off of due to GI problems, we did Gabapentin that helped stop the tremors in my hands but did very little for the pain unless we had it at a dose I could barely tolerate, I was on cymbalta briefly and reacted poorly to that, and I’ve been on amitriptyline for a while without much result and now my doctor doesn’t really know what to try. What’s helped for y’all?
Some people have found relief with medications like methocarbamol, tramadol XR, and lidocaine patches or gel. Others have tried alternative therapies such as acupuncture, trigger point therapy, heating pads, and magnesium glycinate for sleep. It's important to consult with your doctor before trying any new treatments.
