I am sorry you are having this pain..but i would look into other treatments.
By the way...CONGRATS on 2 months...that 's quite an accomplishment!
I am not sure if that can help with you but just a thought.
Goodluck and i am sorry you are in so much pain.
I am just so afraid if you start on the Ty 3's that it will get your addiction talking to you.
The decision is ultimately up to you...I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers...~hugs~

I know I tried a few others, but can't remember what they were. You should talk to your doctor. Sometimes you can take a couple different types at the same time. That is something you'll have to talk to your doctor about. Just let him know you want to try something non opioid. It might take awhile to find one that will work for you but would be worth it. Have you been to a pain management clinic? They have some great ideas on controlling pain without meds. Do you do physical therapy? There is also water therapy. I've heard of many people that have controlled their pain with water aerobics. Best of luck to you! If I can be of any help let me know!

I strongly believe the pain meds caused me more pain. There are all kinds of new arth. meds, we don't have to suffer any more.
