I have had fibromyalgia since 1996. I now need an MRI for severe pain in lower back and legs (old horsewoman, lol) etc. I m really having a bad time of it. Can t sit, sleep, stand, you name it and can t get away from the pain for even a little while. My doctor is wanting me to try Savella and gave me the starter pack. I thought I had heard you cannot take hydrocodone or ultram or NSAIDS with Savella. Don t remember my doc saying not to, but want to know (since he is on a well deserved Christmas vacation), if under normal circumstances, the pain medications are compatible with Savella. I ve gone without any for 3 days (pain meds) and really, really hurt. I m very, very cautious with them as have seen way to many horror stories in my old line of work (nursing). Any advice would be appreciated.
