How Can Severe Fibromyalgia And Degenerative Muscle Damage Be Managed?

I have uncontrollable fibromyalgia, mucle damage and degenerative muscle damage. I have neck damage in 4 spots and lower back problems as well. My new family Doctor is weaning me off of my much needed pain medication oxyneos. I am seeing a weed Doctor for CBD oil which helps a bit but my pain is so overwhelming due to being taken off of my pain meds. I have been on pain meds for 9 years and I was doing great, I was able to go back to work. Now I am waking up every hour to 2 hours in so much pain. I am in so much pain all day long, every day, I don t get any good pain free days anymore. I don t know what to do, and my Doctor doesn t care about my pain.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Analgesics like opioids are mainstay of the treatment.
Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. As of now drugs like VitaminB12 can be taken.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks
