Is It Safe To Use Steroid Injections For Fibromyalgia?

Question: I've had fibromyalgia for years and symptoms keep worsening. I also have bulging disc and bone spurs on my cervical spine. I can't get proper pain control. Been on the same dosages of medication for years. Well, it's not helping anymore. I use oxycodone 10mg and diazepam for horrible leg and feet cramps. I've grid numerous other options like PT, acupuncture etc... I had a bag k surgery that totally failed and after that surgery my neck has got to the point where I can barely move it. I also wasted tonS of money on steroid injections which I will never do again because of adverse effects from that. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm miserable and can hardly walk w/o a cane. I'm 45 and can't stand living anymore.

I have been on both medications that you requested and I have adverse affects to both.I have no choice whhen it comes to pain management. I will become very ill if my pain meds are stopped and quite frankly I won't be able to walk the neuropathy and pain issues so bad in my back, legs and feet. I don't like being on pain meds, but that is the only thing that helps me function day to day.I'm on very short acting medication, which is making it worse ,because I don't want to take meds every 3-4 hours. That is ridiculous when I know there are many long acting medications. I appreciate your advice, but unfortunately it will not help me. I've tried several different meds and amitriptyline is 1 and it did nothing for me but seemed to make things worse. I'm not a big advocate for meds, but none on disability my life is a living hell. No one should have to suffer to the degree I do daily.I'm sorry for wasting your time and my money. Between all my back, leg and leg pain, along with horrible neuropathy I'm simply lost on what to do. Everyone constantly wants to pull me from my meds and that is easier said than done. I can't afford getting horribly sick on top of everything else I have to deal with. You can't just pull me off these meds and expect me to function. It's not right, nor is it fair to me considering the everyday battle I put up with constantly. I'm not a drug seeker, I just need something to control this pain. If I had my choice and I was healthy the last thing I would want is to take unnecessary pain medication. I can barely walk w/o these medications. I'm going to a pain clinic to see what can be done cause I can't take this anymore. I v e been putting up with this for over 4 years now. I can't continue living like this.I'm totally exhausted from this. Keeps me up all night, which makes things worse for me. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm simply tired of it all and anyone in my shoes would feel the same, I can guarantee you that. I'm tired of getting the run around over pain medication. I need help someone to assess my pain and put me on something where I don't have to suffer day in and day out. I know people who aren't near in the pain I'm in who take massive amounts of narcotics.
