Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia As Pain Persist With Medaication
I am having a trouble with my meds. I was on pain meds after surgery 10 mg oxycodone. About a month ago my primary care physician added Cymbalta, flexaril at night, gabapentin (100 mg) at night. Then my pain specialist was having trouble with me saying he didn t really deal with fibromyalgia patients and suggested maybe I look into a different pain management specialist. I did and found someone who said he was a self proclaimed quack and wanted me to try some new things. He changed my pain meds to Nucynta 100 ER, and the muscle relaxer to tizanidine HCL 4 mg at night and added Lunesta 3 mg at night. I took my last dose of oxy last night and my first dose of nucynta today. I am starting withdrawal symptoms and at this point just want to quit taking everything, deal with the withdrawal and never take another medication again. This withdrawal is intense and getting worse. What do I do? I don t know how to get through this or what to expect. Is there anything I should do? PS My new pain management dr that I saw Thurs and prescribed these new meds is out of the country for a week now I guess.

hi,
thanks for giving me an opportunity to assist you.
you need to focus on doing regular physical exercise and yoga for breathing. little meditation as well will be of great help.
I have seen many patients with fibromyalgia. almost most of them recovers by doing regular exercises and avoids medication. long term medication are never advised and are harmful as well. so try the natural way of healing by doing regular physical exercise, yoga for breathing and meditation to control the mind.
I hope and wish you a speedy recovery.
thank you
