Do you have a good primary care doctor? I'm finding that helpful, too.
Yeah...the body fights back eventually, lol. I am in the process of tapering off Tramadol and will never take that mess again. I was not told it had an SSRI in it. I took it as directed for a couple of years. Now, I’m having to slowly taper even though I never, ever abused it in any way. It works for some, does nothing for others but for me, it’s demon spawn. I hope your aches get better.

I don’t go to a physical therapist but I do self treat with reiki and acupressure which helps but years of Army abuse to the joints are tough to overcome. I’m researching CBD oil and hoping my state passes med THC this summer.

Thanks for responding!
