Hi, Nanc,

I can understand your pain. I have fibromyalgia, and a torn roto cuff from an injury at work. For three years after the accident, I was somewhat OK, then pain just started up again. I am presently in physical therapy two times per week to get some movement in my shoulder. I also take ultracet. I am told that this med. is non-addictive. I hope so, because it is difficult to get through a day without help. I have also had cortisone shots, they help for a few days. I hope that you will be a good candidate for ultracet and that you have some relief. chronic pain is so debilitating. Good luck

Andrea
