Good to hear, never give up. PT is the first way to go, and it’s worth trying different forms like Yoga, anything that can work the painful part gently, and retrying it periodically if it doesn’t work. If you’re missing opioids, I’d definitely request the Butrans patch. Sorry, I’m an enthusiast:) For me it’s side effect free, maybe a very, very slight sedation, but I’m not even sure it is so mild.
