Ask for Ultram (generic is Tramadol) for pain. It works good and doesn't screw you up. Worth a try and in line with what it sounds like you have.

I'm trying to learn to be more assertive with my doctors... It's hard 'cause I'm not one to take pills in general, and I know that most docs are hesitant to hand out painkillers for fear of addiction.

It also doesn't help that I can only ever speak with the rheumatologist's medical assistant when I call, and English is *very* much her second language.

All right, that's how much flexeril I've been doing, and I feel pretty good on that amount.

And I'll stop being a weenie and make the appointment with my GP.

By the way, I started doing water walking (literally just walking laps in the pool) 15mins/3days a week and I feel pretty good. Plus, I go mid morning when the pool is filled with folks doing the exact same thing. If you can make time to do this, I totally recommend it.
