Biofeedback, Meditation, Physical Therapy, Something Besides Drugs?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Huntsville, AL

I am trying to clean (my last question), and I am just aggravated by people who say do yoga and stuff. I don't make it halfway through the hour-long sessions, guys. However, it is supposed to help my fibromyalgia. I answered a question about hydrocodone, which is junky and did nothing for me, but neither did Porceset (sp) or even morphine. I just fell asleep and woke up every 2 hours for a new dose of either one. But I'm interested in helping myself defeat pain if I had someone to go in with me… read more

Wheelchair For Cleaning?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Huntsville, AL

I have a friend who is disabled "more" than I am, except she cleans her house every single day. Meanwhile, my legs hurt, mostly because exercise hurts, which makes it hard to stop hurting, round and round on that carousel. Anyway, she's in a wheelchair, so I say "more," but my legs hurt so darn much from the fibromyalgia and sciatica and tendonitis. Do I need a home wheelchair, at least? I know walking more will help me, so will walking around super-cleaning help me more? I'm just on the fence… read more

Alvin2 that's what I would do when traveling wheelchair assistance must be lot better.

Anyone Have A Pain Pump?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Columbia, MO

I’d love to hear stories about how people adjusted to a pain pump and how long it took to get the meds right. I’ve had mine for 2 years and still adjusting the meds in there! And what meds to you have in your pump? I currently have morphine and prialt but have had Dilaudid earlier in my journey. Anyone have a success story to share?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

No, not yet. But I'd love to see those of you who have pain pumps tell their stories!

Leg Pain

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Van Nuys, CA

There are days when my leg pain is so bad that I’d like to take more than the directed dosage of Hydrocodone 10/325. Like only an addition half. Is there anything out there stronger? I won’t exceed the dosage; It is too controlled.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

Aww thank you so much

Has Anyone Had Epidural Injections To The Lumbar With Only Local Anesthesia??

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cottonwood, AZ

Because I have always had Sedation.
However my pain doctor is having a hard time getting the Medications for the Sedation.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

Do not get injections. They will make it worse. They've been banned in Europe for a reason. All the injections do his pay off your doc's student loans.
