Had enough of pills and pain

Welcome to the community @LP80 and I'm sorry to hear this. I can definitely relate with taking a lot of tablets! As @woodbine has suggested, a pain clinic would be a good starting point, if not tried already

Hi @LP80
As @chiarieds suggested you might find my article above helpful. 
If you are taking 250 tablets a week AND you are still in pain you seriously need a drug review. The drugs could actually be exacerbating the problem creating hyperalgesia, see my article for more on this...
If your GP can only recommend drugs then I'd seriously consider changing GP, a lot of them are very uncreative and even unknowledgeable when it comes to pain management... Taking drugs, especially that many, could  causwell being you iatrogenic harm.
There is a great closed group on Facebook: Opioid, Gabapentinoid and Antidepressant tapering group, full of very supportive people with personal experience. Worth a look.
It will take committment to improve your situation but I'll bet that if you do you'll feel better in the long run (coming off these drugs is not easy).
I hope that helps.

Hi LP80
I have spina bifida and have suffered from Chronic back pain for many many years. I was on a cocktail of medication, which after taking them for several years my body got immune to them and no longer worked. The pain drugs created so many horrible side effects that caused my stomach to swell to aching joints to headaches to anxiety and panic attacks. I decided to ween myself off the medication but spoke to GP prior to doing this and I took myself off the some of medication but did this at a slow controlled rate. I would not recommend anyone doing unless they speak to their doctor or consultant first. I can’t stress that enough. Anyhow after 4 months or so of coming off the some of medication and after replacing with taking CBD oil, meditating, healthy eating and taking vitamins, I’m reaping the benefits. Don’t get me wrong, I still feel pain but not as much as before and at least my stomach is not as bloated as before, my aches are not as bad and most of all my panic attacks and anxiety has lessened. Surprising considering what’s happening in the world.
I know how hard and frustrating it can be to be in constant pain but it’s a lot better to handle pain when your mind is in a good place.  Maybe you can try some alternative pain relieve and slowly introduce into your daily routine.
