Personal experience, labelled as such, is exactly right here. Nobody is prescribing.

Worth asking what specifically was measured. Pain scores move with mood and function does not.

Small wins count. Walking to the mailbox is a data point.

Same shape here, different drug. The thing that helped was documenting the refusal rather than re-arguing it. They refer rather than write.

Everyone here blames the drug. Half the time it is the appointment schedule, not the molecule.

Function over score.

Same here.

You have two changes at once here. You cannot attribute anything until one of them moves.

Fifteen years of this and the function column is the only one that changed anything for me. Also, one page of history, printed, handed over at the start. It changes the appointment.
