Regina I'm chronic. I had a bit of trouble reading your post because of the caps. If I miss a point it's because of that. In my experience no pain med does a damm thing. I have a good neuro who knows that it's worthless to even prescribe a pain med to me. Stadol is addictive. Not saying you are addicted to it. I'm saying Stadol is addictive and personaly speaking I'd keep clear of it. O2 and verapamil are the only things that have given me any help. 02 being a hit and miss sort of thing for me. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. I'm a ray of hope arent' I?
What I do is ride the wave of pain. Day in day out. If I can make it through the day without thinking the world sucks it's been a good day. Wish I had more advice. Seriously the Stadol is best to keep away from.
