Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To Fibromyalgia And Osteoarthritis

Tired of being a guinea pig; have shingles in my head, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and probably borderline personality disorder with mood disorders. I was on Xanax for 25 years and it was taken away due to lack of insurance. My mother was on Librium and Valium and her mother was briefly admitted. I have had shots and nerve blocks. Have been given opioids and again no insurance. I want another opinion on medication that I can perhaps recommend.... real tired of it!

Hi,

Exercise is the only modality with really good evidence for benefit. Addictive drugs are often a bad idea.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
