Syracuse, NY

how many of you were told that using Oxycontin and Oxycontin and oxycodone would give you low Testosterone? Are you aware that weight gain is a side affect of low Testosterone? So if you are trying to lose weight and can not, get your Testosterone levels checked!

Change In Laws

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
North Little Rock, AR

Is there anyone standing up to “the powers that be” for the help of the patient? I feel we are doomed... It’s become nation wide! When will patients ever get the medicine they deserve? We don’t ask to be in pain! Street drug addiction has controlled the decision’s a Doctor can make on our quality of life. It’s NOT RITE...

I Am Curious On The Side Affects Of Gabapentin Please? I Have Noticed Some Teeth And Gum Issues Lately.

I do not know if the medication is even still working for my pain. I just am wondering if there are other meds for my pain due to some possible new side effects. Or is it affects?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

I'm just the opposite I take 300mg twice a day. And I get lethargic with out them.
Lyrica has the same properties but 4x as expensive. But I think meds affect individuals differently. 🤔

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Republic of Ireland

I can see that 'the chronic pain team' is an excellent resource even by the scant bits I have managed to read
My big problem is that the pain I am experiencing makes me exhausted and unable to concentrate or focus on stuff like reading..writing..listening
It is not that I am being ignorant or anti social its just that I am nearly always in a state of agitation ,defensiveness and ...anger.
I try to not let this negativity out on my family (two girls and a long suffering X partner )who I… read more

Suggestion For Extra Meds At Night-time For Back Pain

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Caerphilly, UK

I am currently taking Cymbalta and Gabapentin for Fibromyalgia, plus Zapain and Ibruprufen on top when needed as i also have DDD, inflammation of the facet joints and a torn ligament in my lower back. My back is worse at night which makes my already bad sleep pattern worse. I am wondering if anyone can suggest an extra pain-killer that i can take just at night-time?
I have tried Tramadol and i does nothing.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
