She still has times and days where she can barely walk but they do this needle treatment in her back once a year, shoot up specific nerve with novacain and then cut and cauterize them, this takes away a lot of her pain. Thankfully after 15 years they found something that helps her dramatically but she always goes downhill towards the end of the year, signaling its time to do it again. Its not a fun treatment but maybe its something you could talk to your doctor about.
Does she take Gabapentin (Neurotin) for the pain? It works pretty well with Fibro.
