Ambien (zolpidem) seems to take away most of my physical pain-is this possible? obviously impossible to use it 4 that even if it was rx'd 4 that, is it real?

Sleep soothes all: Not sure if it helps pain but anything is possible. More likely helps sleep which overrides pain plus good sleep helps everything. Most docs discourage chronic Ambien (zolpidem) and would continue to look for other causes/ treatments for your pain.

See the Physician: Please see the physician for assessment of your physical pain. And discussion of stresses in your life, and coping skills to deal with stresses and physical pain.
