Angie's Pain

It all started as a normal TMJ problem. My jaws would pop & click w/ wide opening, yawning, etc.
Over about 2 years it progressed very quickly into "internal derangement w/out reduction". I've done physical therapy, bite splints ( soft & hard ), biofeedback, imagery, soft diet, liquid diet, Advil, Tylenol, Aleve, about 10 different RX NSAID's. After all the O-T-C Nsaid's & Rx Nsaid's, I now have an ulcer. Then I moved onto trigger point injections weekly, occipital nerve blocks weekly. Percocet 10's, 3/day.
OxyContin 20mgs, 2/day, Duragesic Patches, 75mcg's, one patch/ 72 hrs., MS Contin 30mgs, 2/day.
And now currently I take Methadone 15mgs, 2/day, w/ 60 Lortab 10/500mgs for breakthrough pain.
