What Causes Joint Pain?

I was put on suboxone for 20 months of pain. All testing was negative, have had mri s injections etc. and no diagnosis. Initial rx very effective for pain relief and was my old normal self. Was changed to a generic and pain is returning and now have chills and joint pain which i never have had before. I am trying to find out what first rx was so i can ask for it specifically when i refill my current rx.

Hi
It's better to be on Aleve for long term treatment.If severe pain ,then add tramadol 100 mg two or three times a day as per necessity.Aleve can be taken twice a day...for precaution for gastritis prevention,may add pantaprazole or rabeprazole 40 mg once a day on empty stomach in the morning before breakfast.
Rely more on phys therapy,heat,massage , application of voveran TPS gel to joints after hot fomentation
Consult an orthopedic surgeon for prescription,if he agrees to my suggestion
Best wishes
