Cortisone shots. Not sure how often. When my Dermie saw how much pain I was in on certain days she recommends them.

Only Percocet. But my state has made it nearly impossible to have that prescribed now. So I am in constant pain. When it gets REALLY unbearable, I take an omeprazole, 2 Aleve, and 3 Tylenol. And that still only takes the edge off. It does NOT kill the pain. Back in the day before I learned that only Percocet would work, I was taking up to 20 Advil a day, and it did NOTHING. At this point I think I'm so used to living in constant pain that "just pain" is acceptable. Though my attention span and work productivity have steadily declined.
