I emailed my doctor today, asking whether she had any suggestions for helping me with some increased pain I have had since the weather got colder.

I take Lyrica that is helpful. I agree about the medical profession that keeps telling us that can't use this or that, so frustrating. They say narcotics are not helpful! Frustrating!
