Hello, everyone...I have a question about my pain meds. I have been taking Cymbalta and Tramadol for pain (I'm allergic to Neurontin). The Tramadol seemed to really help at first, but after a year plus of taking it, it doesn't seem to be as effective anymore. My GP seems apprehensive to prescribe anything stronger, and he has referred me to a Rheumatologist. And in the state where I live, there are only 3. When I see her in a few weeks, how should I address my concerns with the medication? Does anyone have any advice as to how I can discuss the issue with her? Also, is there another medication that could potentially help more with the pain or should I let her make the suggestion?
