chronic pain
"By 17 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Now I have arthritis everywhere, have had a vertebral fusion, (Registered Nurse for 10 years, and I took care of Gastric Bypass patients for 2 of that, ICU for 5), both knees need replacing, and now I am having more back problems again.  I attempted suicide 3 times because of the pain.  I finally came to my doctor and asked to prescribe and sign a contract.  Since then I have had a disc fusion, found how helpful swimming can be (swim daily now), and I can function so much better!  I still have pain (30mgER 3xdaily and 15mg Q4hr as needed. Usually only 1x/day.)  I am so much more active.  The only drawback is occasionally I have difficulty urinating.  So thankful for this med."
