Onset PN/PFD/centralized pain in Oct 06 after years of athletics,nursing career and dog training. PT for two years with improvement, now go for tune-ups and pain management. Stopped Cymbalta, was on M.S. Contin, then Kadian, and briefly Methadone for pain management, now off those meds and pain is well managed with Buprenorphine. Followed my pain management specialist.

Just curious, for those that have centralized pain, what have you found most helpful from a medication perspective?
For me, it's the use of hydrocodone - when it gets beyond a 5 for me, I take a half tablet. It's helps take the edge off.
Sometimes a good nights sleep helps too.
