...please let us know how you're doing.
You might want to take one of the whole pills right before bedtime, to help you through the night. You also might find that you may need to take a few more days each time before you reduce. So you may need to stay 3-4 days at a total of 3 pills a day....then reduce one of the whole pills by half a pill....so you're on 2-1/2 pills a day for a few days....and so on. If you put it on paper, you may be able to see and be able to follow it a bit better. Also, your PCP may be a bit more inclined to help you than that pain M.D. Your PCP knows you more, and if you ask for help in tapering, she/he may give it in a more compassionate way.
Also, you can ask your PCP for the 5/500s or the 250 mg, once you are close to the end of your 750s, and those will split easier, and you will be getting a much reduced dose. In this way, you can take several weeks/month(s). to taper down and down....until your body doesn't feel addictated.
I'm rambling now, but you probably understand what I'm saying.
Hints for pain: Take deep breaths, and slow stretching exercises. I sometimes do the BodyFlex exercises, which is a deep breath and a stretch, and that gets oxygen to your muscles, which oxygenates them, and helps your overall endurance, and helps pain reduce, as well. I guess yoga and Pilates would, too. And meditation, if you think that would help.
