I have been in pain management for 20 yrs. I've tried everything I could for the right meds and injections. I cant handle gabapentin, Lyrica or baclofen ( spelled wrong ) . I have found that the soma I was on for 10yrs was not working. Zanaflex, Norco, Xanax for ptsd has been great. Just remember the combo can't be taken all at once you have to wait min of 3 hrs between pills. I use gummies as my neurologist told me if I don't and I keep falling I will end up in a nursing home. My pain dr is also happy I finally said ok. Pain management dr and yourself have to be on the same track
Took me 8 drs to find one that is perfect. Try it you will feel a difference

If your neurologist hasn't been able to adequately address your pain concerns, it's completely appropriate to request a referral to a pain specialist. You can directly ask your doctor to connect you with someone who specializes in pain management. A comprehensive pain management approach may include working with multiple specialists like physical therapists for musculoskeletal pain, occupational therapists to help modify daily activities, and mental health professionals if pain is affecting your emotional wellbeing. They can also recommend lifestyle modifications such as low-intensity exercise, stress reduction techniques, and sleep improvements to help manage pain.
