Painkillers
I have been on Gabapentin and Tramadol for 5 years to help with pain. I have now been told GP will no longer prescribe as they are shown to have no effect on chronic pain and are addictive. Anyone else had the same?

back spasm, can anything be done?
what do you do to get comfy or relieve pain? e.g take magnesium? something topical? thanks question 2, what pain medication have you used? i guess it'll be up to the prescribing doctor, but people here often have extra knowledge and tips

Does this sound like endo?
I have had chronic pelvic/ lower back pain for the past 12 years, it flares up to the point where I can't do anything, but lay in bed and then after a few days to weeks it calms down to just the "usual pain/ache" and the cycle continues. I have been to see so many doctors and trips to A&E over the years

Seeking advice on burning feet symptom and an endocronoligist recommendation in London
Hi everyone. Over the last two years I’ve learnt so much from this site and I’m very grateful. I’m looking for some advice relating to my hypothyroid symptoms. I was diagnosed nearly three years ago and am taking 50mg of Teva. My symptoms arrived suddenly, and I still have bouts of anxiety and depression

Negative SVT Ablation experience
Good Morning All, So I had my SVT Ablation on Thursday at St Thomas’. Not a great experience. Procedure took 3 and half hours. I was awake the whole time and conscious of everything! Four puncture wounds on groin. Two either side. I could feel the catheters going up into my veins and tweaking around

Just diagnosed
Hi all. I have just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia along with Tendinopathy(bit like tendonitis) having previously been suspected to have Rheumatoid Arthritis. This new diagnosis makes more sense. Would the Fibromyalgia have come on recently, or could I have had it for years and not realised? I've always

Biopsy prior lap
Hello ladies! I am about to have a partial hysterectomy in december, i am already terrified, gutted, i am s...ing on myself with fear. My consultant told me I need to have a biopsy from my womb prior to surgery so he can know there is nothing dodgy there except a lot of fibroids he has already seen

Viral meningitis
My 17 year old daughter was diagnosed with viral meningitis last weekend and this was confirmed on Monday. Initially she was given antiviral and antibiotics because they was unsure if it was bacterial meningitis. She had been unwell for 5 or 6 weeks. Permanent headache that painkillers didn't touch

To family and friends who help us
HiThis post is a bit different from me. Those who have read any posts I've written know I have health conditions that like all of us we have to get on with no matter how much they suck. The side most people know about me where I live is that I'm a family carer. I have been a carer for different family

coccyx pain
hello, I’m having issues with coccyx pain and am wondering whether it’s another exciting (😒) symptom of FA. I’m still ambulatory so not a wheelchair user but am having the problem when sitting on an upright chair- so I’m avoiding doing that as much as I can but it’s not always possible. I bought a

Surgery follow-up appointment
Hi all I had my surgery on the 30th of March, where they found four bits of endo. I did have stomach pains in my first month, but then I had an infection. From the second month after my surgery, I had stomach pains again, although it was at a lower intensity and frequency. Over the last couple of

Endo Diagnosis
Hi, I am unsure where to start off trying to get a diagnosis of endometriosis. I've been struggling for about 4 years now and have found out my gran and my mum both have endometriosis with them experiencing the same symptoms. All my symptoms line up with others that have endometriosis as well. My first

sciatica and PD?
2 months ago after 2 10 hour train journeys I developed severe sciatic nerve pains down my right let and hip. these are making it very difficult/impossible to do my PD excercises. The GP only prescribes pain killers which don't really help. Web research seems to only suggest excercise stretching baby

Painful legs (burning sensation behind both knees)
Hi all Well, I’m hoping someone can provide a view on what is happening to me now! For the last couple of months I have had severe pain in the legs which has now started to become a burn behind my knees. It doesn’t improve or worsen on exercise and is particularly painful laying in bed. I used to

Tocilizumab in the UK
I thought it may be helpful to share my Rheumy appointment yesterday. I have GCA and PMR and due to various reasons cannot tolerate Steriods. Instead I am treated with Methotrexate and tocilizumab which I received for a year as in standard in the UK. I was worried about what would happen when year expired

Late as usual: "Moonrise at Sunset"
For [i]Off Topic Friday. [/i] I am trying more and more to express myself through my paintings, using this as a vehicle rather than groaning on to my wife. This is a mixed media painting of a sandy beach in south Wales. I am not sure how much of a backstory to give here, but . . . I have been

advice post lap
hi I’d be grateful for any advice on things you found useful post lap for endo excision. What kind of things did you wear after. I tend to wear tunics and leggings or tops and jeans but don’t know if they’ll feel too tight and uncomfortable. Did you find it easy to put on a top or was a button through

Help with "sick day rules"
Hello, It's been a while. I am struggling and need some dose guidance please. My normal dose is 10mg per day. I delivered Mark to hospital on Sunday for a planned Total Knee Replacement which took place on Monday morning. He's doing very well, no pain (typical of him lol) and he was discharged yesterday
