What Happens When The Pain Meds Don't Work Anymore?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Rockford, IL

chronic pain, fibro, 32 surgeries, body full of titanium. Osteoarthritis everywhere. What do I do? I try so hard not to give up. I am in a fibro flare now. Pain is about a 7. I want to go out but just afraid of the pain. I just don't know what to do. I am not a quitter many things keep happening. The marriage thing is mot good. I must go for now but has anybody felt like this? Don't know what to do.

I just stay in bed and suffer through. When I feel like I cannot go on living I think of my kids and grandkids and know I don’t want to put them through the agony and grief of losing a loved one. It is the love for them that keeps me going.

You need to talk with your doctor and Tell him your medication is not working long enough be very truthful with your doctor and either he will adjust your meds or go up. This is a problem you will have all your life finding what works for you and what doesn’t and do I t now don’t wait.😀
