Hi. Do you go to a PAIN MANAGEMENT Doctor? I think it stinks that your Dr. is weaning you off of your pain meds. If you are in chronic pain...there are other considerations ...other ways than taking you off of your pain meds.
I suffer from Chronic pain due to Fibromyalgia and severe Arthritis. My Doctor put me on Methadone 6 years ago. It works and is inexpensive. I also take Ultram, Flexerill..and xanax-PRN
In my opinion...you should not have to suffer such physical pain on top of everything else you are fighting.
Please PM me anytime. I will respond pretty quickly as I practically live on this forum. It has helped me greatly. Mostly..reminding me that I am not alone..with the pain, despair..etc...etc

Take good care!
