fibromyalgia

How many times in a day can you argue with patients about not increasing narcotics for a syndrome that narcotics are not indicated for and haven't actually helped this patient very much given that their pain scores haven't changed with the last increase? I think pain management in general but specifically fibromyalgia management is one of the most frustrating parts of my day. I feel like neither of us leave satisfied from that encounter ever.
