I have my usual dose of spring fever and want clear out the house, go do and see everything.  Then there are my three plus migraines per week, with aura, fibromyalgia, and general pre, mid, and post-drome time lost. Enter new pain - lower back, sciatica, down the left leg to knee and foot. MRI says degenerative changes to discs, right bulge of one disc, not significant enough to requre surgery (good news.)  Physical therapy and adding Relafen 500 mgs. twice a day to my considerable bouquet of twice daily meds. Even with this, I am waking up 3-4 times a night due to back and leg pain. I have the feeling my ortho thinks I am expressing more pain than condition warrants. Will be seeing my Neuro in three weeks. Am tired of being in pain, now lacking bodily rest between migraines. Could this all be interrelated? Will the Relafen cause rebound Migraines? I'm feeling discouraged, and reluctant to schedule activities with my family and friends. Any suggestions about questions I should ask my Neurologist?  Thanks, Lynne
