I guess I'm just the opposite, I have a very high threshold for pain, but a very low tolerance for medication of any kind. I still am only able to handle (4) 25/100 Sinemet per 24 hours. My pain medication is 3 Tylenols. I always end up having an allergic reaction to pain medication. Except for "Charlie Horses" in the middle of the night, when I have obviously run out of Sinemet, my pain, and I have quite a lot of it, is from my Osteoarthritis. I start physical therapy on 19 Sept. for the bone spurs and the Osteo in my neck. I sometimes feel like I'm a barometer because I can tell the weather by my Osteo pain. My Neurologist if one of several who run a Pain Clinic down here in South Florida. Do you have any Pain Clinics where you live?
