Dr. - - does not prescribe pain medicine she doesn't believe that it helps for Fibromyalgia. So what I a wondering is why she is a PAIN MANAGEMENT doctor if she can't manage my pain. I know that some does help because a family member gave me a hydrocodone the other day and it helped a lot. The lyrcia helps a great deal but it would be VERY helpful to have something more than regular Tylenol that helps NONE for the bad days I have. She said what will help you is stretches and exercise. If I hear anymore about exercise I am going to scream! I am already in Physical Therapy and do stretches at home already and I know exercise can always help I don't have anything against that but I AM STILL IN PAIN! AHHHHHH

Sorry for my rant I just feel like no one can help me! I can't get into a new internist until October if he would help any. I just don't know what to do just tired of being in pain that's all. Even typing right now is hurting my shoulder.

I hope you feel better soon, and that your pain starts to lessen! Best of luck!

THIS is not all in my head, and NO I am not crazy!
the bra seems to be my mortal enemy, a weird 19th century torture device most obviously designed by a man!

I tell my family I deal with the pain as Mind over Matter. I picture a comforting place in my mind. My picture is of a lighthouse on the ocean shore. I try to see the light watch it as it turns. Then I try to smell the ocean air, and watch the sea gulls fly. Sometimes this works sometimes it don't. It's a technic I learned years ago. I have had to deal with pain since I was 12. But days like today I go looking for pain advise because the pain is more then I can handle and nothing is working. Well I hope you feel better or at least eased some.

Lots of hugs Cindy

Gentle hugs. Debi

and I would go to a diffrent doc when you can in Oct.

mama2 I use relaxation technics similar to you but its alot of breathing in and out threw the belly,holding yiour breath and tensing like your shoulders holding then releasing with the breath it helps some days and not others.

I ended up going to the hospital tonight because I have been in so much pain and I at least got 16 WHOOPEE Hydro's but at least it's more than 0 right LOL. I can't wait to go to the internist in October then I am going to tell my PCP and Pain Dr to take a hike! Sometimes I wonder if Doctors really understand how much their decisions effect our daily life and family. I am going to work on relaxation ideas that you all told me about and osme stretches that i can do everyday to help and the ice or heat that I need. I am going to talk to the PT tomorrow at therapy about somethings as well.

Again Thanks
