get a new doctor and/or ask to try gabapentin

Seconding finding a new doctor. It may take a while, but there’s likely a medication that will help you. For me, I had really bad allodynia - cymbalta was a life saver. My other meds aren’t super super helpful, but they take the edge off at least!

Id say dont borher with that dr then. I tired for years to be put on lyrica i had to fight and move drs a few timed but finally got prescribed lyrica and makes the world of difference

For me tramadol seems to work best

In my opinion the side effects from most of those medications is what bothers me.. I would try to go a natural route of healing.. if you can get medical marijuana in your state I would say that’s the best route.. outside of that I would say a muscle relaxer every now and then so that you don’t get addicted.

BEEEECH PLEASE. I take pregabalin 3x daily and its LIFE CHANGING.

I take nortriptyline at night before bed and it’s been helping! And it helps with sleep too which is nice. I have less nights of waking up in pain

One, it is best to have a rheumatologist to diagnose then work with a trusted primary care.
