Venting Chronic pain thread

[cucksaar]

I’d like to see if anybody else is struggling with chronic pain. I’ve had pain in my stomach and back for 5 months after excessively drinking on antabuse. I’ve done an ultrasound and it didn’t show any abnormalities. My blood values were ok as well. Going to request an X-ray.

The pain gets worse during certain times of the day. I take non prescribed pain killers several times a day. This has been the toughest period in my life.

What about you guys, anyone else dealing with something similar?

Yes, I do!

Could be inflammation and if so Predisone steroids might work. Taper off towards the end. Might work between a day or two or the second week from Day 1. Talk to your doctor and see what he thinks. Instead of Predisone he might have a different steroid to treat nerve inflammation if that's what it is.

In the meantime I would just drink water. Not tea or coffee or anything else. Try to look what triggers the pain, if any. Is it lower back pain?
