I really wished someone could help me figure this out, andbring it to my doctor's attention. I'm so sick and tired of the right side of my body having such severe muscle spasms that even the Soma 350mg 4 times a day don't seem to control it. I'm tired of taking all those, as well as my pain pills just to function, but then I'm not functioning as I'm zombied out from all the medications. My joints crack and snap too, so bad in my knees that I have had people shiver from the sounds of it, as well as, well, one day while I was working at our local McDonald's, middle of lunch rush, I stood up from a squatting position, and my knee cracked so loud, it was heard up at the front counter over the noise of the restaurant. It's embarrassing and painful, but after several MRI's on my knees, nothing is found. I'm going insane and tired of the drugs. Help! I'll do anything to end this problem.

I know how you feel. I have been legally disabled since 2003 for multiple chronic pain issues.(I filed for disability in 1997 at age 38) I have done everything (allowed by my insurance) the Drs. wanted me to 'try' before finally resorting to medication. I now take a handful 3 times a day,just to function. I never am without pain,and I never feel GOOD. I just have better days than others.
I am a single mom to a 13 yr. old(divorced when he was 4),so I have always had to function.The hardest part of the whole situation was learning to accept my whole new life/personality. Yes there was a personality change. I am no longer a spur of the moment/happy go lucky person. I am what you call a 'spoonie'. Everything has to be planned before I run out of steam at the end of the day. Then there are some days that I do not do anything but feed my kid and take care of my pets.(I also have to do a lot of things for my mom,errands and such as she is more disabled than me,but still lving on her own-at 79.)
