Hi all, I have not been on this site for a long time. HAve been on Savella for Fibro and it gave me relief from IBS-D. Cant take meds I need for Bursitis and my arthitis right now with the Savella. Tried all the meds together and it about did me in. I am having TERRIBLE pain in shoulder and neck from the DDD and bursitis and Fibro. Doing therapy 3 times a week for 2 months. The only change is my billfold. 2,000.00 out of pocket plus what insurance paid. Theripist going to change up treatment but I cant continue with the pain or expence much longer. OK my problem is I cant take Tylonol because liver enzymes too high. I need a prescription or over the counter pain meds that wont put me in the bathroom the rest of my life. Ibuprophen doesnt touch the pain and have been told it will hurt my stomach. I know from past that if I need help finding a solution to a problem this is the place to come. Any suggestions. On FMLA again, dont think I am going to be able to go back this time. I cant even leave the house because of pain and IBS. Been almost 2 months and I am about to lose it. Started crying this week and cant stop. COnstantly going to Drs. and so broke and was worth it while on Savella but I gotta find a pain med that I can take with it or without. Just gotta control the pain so I can concentrate. But it it causes the IBS-D with all of its pain it doesnt help.Hope someone has a suggestion. Take care.
