I’ve had fibromyalgia since 2009 when I had a triple aaa dissection since this happened to me I’ve had no end of issues. Now I had a knee replacement and since this I’ve been in constant pain day and night for two years. These last few days have been so bad I don’t know how to cope anymore
Please any idea what I can do because I cannot physically go on like this
Sorry to ask but have you been diagnosed with fibro or could you have CRPD?

What is crpd was diagnosed in 2009 with fibro and that’s all I’ve had diagnosed so far
Sorry should have typed CRPS.....
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic (lasting greater than six months) pain condition that most often affects one limb (arm, leg, hand, or foot) usually after an injury. CRPS is believed to be caused by damage to, or malfunction of, the peripheral and central nervous systems.
It can affect your whole body and is probably the worse of all pain possible

Your not kidding me this pain is way out of control right now and I’m not coping very well and pain relief isn’t touching it
Worth telling your GP and get a referral to pain clinic. Long waiting list but worth going.

I recently went to pain clinic and they basically told me that there was nothing else they can do
Did you see them about fibro?
Didn't they review your drugs? Offer any alternative therapy? Or have any suggestions at all?
x
No they didn’t offer anything different said keep doing what your doing
Because I’m on zomorph there’s nothing else there willing to try
Still tryin here!
Have you learned about pacing?
Secondly it has been well researched that stronger meds and higher doses don't relieve pain.
They were 'invented' for end of life pain relief for cancer patients then stolen if you like for chronic pain sufferers. Yes they do help short term but nothing more.
You have to try other methods...swimming, pacing, physio, acupuncture...none will work on their own but together there will be some reduction in your pain levels.
There is no magic answer. Some people have found mindfulness works. Others massage or heat pads.

Thank you for all your positive ideas il try something.
My gp says they can’t give me anything else while on zomorph and we’d need to get you off them slowly so in all honesty I’m going to be stuffed with or without them at the moment it just doesn’t seem fair
Are you under the care of a rheumatologist?? Maybe ask your orthopod who did your knee work to refer you over, they can do it quicker, than getting one via your g.p.
healthunlocked.com/fibromya..., hi there I can see you have had some useful replies back from members, if you would like to lock your posts I’ve posted a link that will help. Differently I agree to go back to your gp and push for the right help , just getting the right pain meds that at least will lower the pain would be something, take care x
I take zomorph there the strongest pain killers so won’t try anything else
They are strong painkillers and your in so much discomfort, I’m sorry to read this isn’t touching you, I don’t know much about zomorph but do you feel they could try something else for you ??might be worth a try seeing a different gp , I was lucky enough in the end to see a different one, previous really didn’t even click it was Fibro He was pretty clueless yet this different gp at the same surgery was brilliant with my care so wish I had seen him before .
I really wish someone would give me something different to try because like I said don’t know how much more of this I can take
Hello, I don’t know anything about zomorph, but ask about Tapentadol/Palexia. Are you able to see an acupuncturist?
ESA plus STRESS equals BAD FIBRO
Pain is incredibly bad
Does anyone suffer with bad allergies since having fibro? 
Anyone believe their Fibro is connected to other illness
Does CBD oil work for fibro?
