I can totally relate to that Rose76. I once mentioned exercise helped with the pain, I was pleasantly surprised and happy and then every time I mentioned pain for months on end he would say just exercise! Like since it helped sometimes its suddenly a cure all. Im now afraid to admit ANYTHING else works ever. I get pain meds are a last resort and I should try all the healthy alternatives first but sometimes its just nothing else can touch it and without them Im stuck awake at 3am(like tonight) wondering what I should be doing.
