Pain relief

[Tomandsarah]

I was a heavy drinker .now 10months sober... But this caused liver damage so can't take any internal pain relief. Creams don't tend to help..also had bakers cyst burst in my knee.. Any help or advice

HU has a separate Pain Concern forum where somebody might be well-placed to make some suggestions for you? healthunlocked.com/painconcern

They have a website and a phone line that is open for 4hrs M-F - perhaps they might have some useful suggestions for you?
