Hi, Secretaura101, and welcome to Psych Central! I'm so sorry you're struggling with pain. Can you go to a regular doctor instead of a walk-in clinic? Maybe he/she will work with you more.

I do take Tramadol and Vicodin for my pain, prescribed by a pain doctor. I've also had cortisone shots. Let's hope the prednisone will help. I am also a senior--62.

We do have support here for folks like us with pain. I find it helpful to "talk" to people who do understand. Here are two forums you might find helpful: https://forums.psychcentral.com/chronic-pain-support/ and https://forums.psychcentral.com/groups/pain-back.html.

And also: https://forums.psychcentral.com/seniors-lounge/.

Again, welcome! Make yourself at home. I hope you feel better soon.
