There is a spray on called Bio Freeze, got it from PT, I don't think it's an Rx. I've also used lidocaine patch, Tylenol PM which is Tylenol plus diphenhydramine (Benadryl) but this can make you very sleepy. Flexeril makes you so tired you cannot work well. Not diagnosed as fibro but believe I have it. I am claustrophobic so will not have an MRI, canceled an appt., could not go through with it. My rheum says no arthritis, definite osteoporosis; ortho guy said he was a surgeon, take Tylenol and Tylenol PM, fingers are getting deformed and my back feels like someone took a baseball bat to it and it's broken in half. I find microwave heat pads which you can buy at mall or online, contains rice and sometimes scented stuff like lavendar, but brings relief when I lie flat. Understand the pain and its interference with our profession, it's horrible. I even tried a Nada chair which is on line (it is not a chair, just a belt) and pulls your spine forward, hooks over the knees, helps sometimes. Have tried it all, find no compassion from the docs, sometimes it is extremely depressing to feel this way. Take the extra D, calcium, Actonel, no help there! |
