nvrthesame98 - I agree it is a lot to pay for something I'm not sure is even going to work. I can't even find anyone online who talks about using it for pain managment. My new pain doctor's office...
I have taken Robaxin orally, but it didn't do anything. Of course, I have had gastric bypass, so a lot of medications don't seem to absorb and work like they do with someone else. The only muscle...
My insurance is covering the actual administration of it, but I have a $125 copay for specialty medications. The medication itself is $101, so I'd essentially have to pay for the whole thing....
Has anyone ever received IV administration of Robaxin? I started at a new pain doctor a few months ago and she wants to try Robaxin IV. From what she says, it's supposed to last a few months,...
BTW, I love your weekly quote! I do trust Google way more than all of my doctors, but with an HMO I don't have much of a choice, unfortunately....
My pain doc refuses to prescribe anything that is an immediate release medication if you are in his program, which I personally think is not fair in my situation. I'm ready to just give up on the...
I was recently switched last week from Opana to MS Contin because I believe the Opana was not absorbing due to gastric bypass surgery. I'm petty sure the MS Contin is presenting with the same issue....
@Chartreux - I do have some vitamin deficiencies, mostly issues with Vitamin D. I have to take mega doses of that because, according to my endocrinoloist, they don't do shots of Vitamin D anymore. As...
Thanks for the replies. I have done a lot of searching online and have found LOTS of others who are in the same situation as me! I don't know why I didn't put two and two together before. I really...
I was recently prescribed Opana 10 mg twice per day, and I have been very disappointed with it. First, and most importantly, there is no feeling of pain relief! So I got to thinking about how I could...
Well, I decided to call the office back and tell them I'm going stick with the Opana to see if I can get used to it. After reading about the Fentanyl patch, quite honestly, it freaks me out and I...
I have posted my story on here before. Basically, I'm 35 years old, suffer from three levels of cervical disc disease and SI joint dysfunction. Anyways, I've been medicted incorrectly with...
I am going to complain on all these doctors once I get situated and don't have to worry about being labeled as something I am not. I've had chronic pain for the past 15 years and have to prove myself...
I am just so upset right now and had to vent a little. I just went for my first appointment with the PM center on Tuesday. I knew going into it they prescribe no pain meds on the first visit until...
Well, good news (I hope). I got in a few days early to see the nurse practitioner who does a screening appointment to see if you will be accepting into their practice. She told me that she doesn't...
Thanks a bunch for the message! My ortho doc told me they would write for one more month, which I used the last of today. That was over a month ago, so I can't even call them now as he's pretty much...
Well, I can't figure out how to send a private message on this forum....
Daniel, I will send you a private message. My job doesn't allow for most of that stuff and I'll explain why in the message. I do have several exercises I do that I've learned at physical therapy over...
I don't want to post my profession, but I will say what I do aggravates my condition because it's high stress and I have to sit in one spot for extended periods of time. I sleep okay when I have my...
No, the pain doesn't change with certain positions. That's the problem. It's fine in the morning, but by the time the afternoon rolls around, the pain starts. By the time I go to bed, I can't lie...
I know this has been covered so many times on this forum. I have read a lot of posts by people in similar situations. I just really wanted to write down what's going on and see if maybe anyone can...
