Suggest Medication For Chronic Pain Due To Fibromyalgia
Hi, I am suffering with fibromyalgia and have been for 18 years. It is getting progressively worse as I age as well as having dystonia in my neck and severe back pain. I have all 18 trigger points where the fibro is concerned. My question is this: I am currently on Morphine Sulfate 10mg, Oxycodone 10/325 as well as clorazapam for anxiety/panic attacks and Amtriptiline. My problem is that this is no longer helping with my chronic pain. Any suggestions on what to ask my Doctor? He is not willing to try anything else as I have run the gammet on pain medications and I am allergic to Lyrica
