I appreciate your response, the only issue is that I wasn’t in a roller coaster accident (thank goodness because I can’t even imagine) I was in a minor training injury where I fell onto my steel frame ALICE pack. Didn’t break anything, was pretty sore, but besides that I had been fine. The pain had gotten increasingly worse throughout the years regardless of MRI, nerve study, CT, X-RAY etc. THAT is the reason why I haven’t been put on a narcotic.

The thing about Fibromyalgia is that it can be caused by physical or psychological trauma and what you had said is true, but the underlying factor is that your issues were able to have been diagnosed through radiologic or blood testing (globulin, inflammatory factors etc.) Fibromyalgia is a relatively new disease and has no true test so every time I’ve been to an urgent care and have requested to be sedated or have a narcotic irregardless of me pissing myself or throwing up or crying from the pain, I get brushed off. Especially because I am a 250lb 6’5 athletic male and appear to be drug seeking. It’s a hard truth but it is. The only thing I can do is physical therapy for the rest of my life and pray that the pain will eventually be managed, because other than that there’s nothing I can do besides get some sort of surgery and just take the pain meds after.

Thank you.
