Probenecid

The Investigators aim to recruit 40 participants who will be followed for 12 weeks in duration. Participants will be randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to one of probenecid 500 mg, 1000 mg, or placebo PO BID for 12 weeks. Justification for use of a non-active placebo comparator includes the fact that this trial is meant to identify tolerability and safety of probenecid in a population of patients living with chronic pain, this will be best measured by comparing to a non-active placebo.
