Any advice on what to do when not even prescription painkillers work?

My mom has been suffering with intense leg pain for the last 3 days that has prevented her from sleeping. She has literally only slept 2 hours the last 2 days and nothing seems to relieve the pain. She has gone to the ER twice already and all they give her is stronger opioids. She is currently on ******** and it does absolutely nothing for her pain.

How in the living blue hell does someone get zero relief from these pain killers? No one in the hospital has been able to offer her any relief. They ruled out her cancer (she has non-hodgkins lymphoma) and they think she has some kind of pinched nerve that is causing the pain.

Do you guys have any experience with dealing with chronic pain that doesn't seem to respond to ANY painkiller? I am tired of seeing her suffer, and I don't know where to go from here. If I am of no help and the doctors aren't either, where else is there left to go?

Maybe take more of the ********? Depends on what dose she is prescribed.

I will always follow my own path and stay true to myself and my heart, to do what I feel is right

You can double up specific kinds of pain killers...

Acetaminophen with either ibuprofen or aspirin.

Don't double ibuprofen with aspirin though, that you can't do.

Lyrica works too.

OP if she has a pinched nerve then gabapentin and lyrica would work wonders for your mom.
