New to this site, pain medication

Hi,
I am new to this site.   I have mets in lumbar and thoracic vertebrae diagnosed in Feb this year and I  would like to hear from others how they cope with pain.
It overwhelms me that my doctors get my pain under control but within weeks the doses have to be raised. Is this normal? The only treatment I am having is denosumab monthly ,
Thankyou, 
Lesley

    Lucky for me I can't share any experience of painkillers for mets. So would just like to say

    So sorry to hear of your pain issues, @LAT - I hope those in the Mets group will be able to help you

    @Giovanna_BCNA - could you join @LAT to the mets group (if not already joined?) 

    Take care, all the best. xx
