Hi, I have been suffering from fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and depression. I am getting physical therapy for surgery I had 6 months ago for cervical decompression fusion. I m in pain all the time even with NORCO, EFFEXOR, AND AN ANTI ANXIETY MED, I think medical marijuana would help me or hydrotherapy. My surgeon referred me back to the orthopedist for pain mgmt only/ nothing he can do. What are your suggestions? And I filed for ssdi, was denied, and appealing. Do you think I will receive it?! Anxious and in pain. Thank you. Susan
Um, narcotics are not a treatment for fibromyalgia. Standard treatments are exercise, nerve dampeners such as gabapentin, or lyrica, or amitryptiline, maybe muscle relaxants, but not narcotics.
