I'm so sorry about the chronic pain you're in. Hang in there, and try and focus on work... I can't work, and finally gave in and now have opiates so that I can function - low dose Tramadol. It has allowed me to function, though no driving on this stuff. I don't drive anymore anyway.

Before I gave in and accepted that I had to take them, I would take two Aleve, two extra strength Tylenol, and a muscle relaxant. Just the Aleve with extra strength Tylenol helped for a bit of time. That and hot tubs, and perhaps heating pads. My extreme pain is in my joints and back.

Perhaps contact your primary and let them know what pain you're in.

Lots of love to you.
