Hi my friend

It is always best to talk to your doctor about upping medication doses? I do not know what you are on at the moment but it could be that your doctor could approve an increase? (As you would need a prescription to get extra of these drugs anyway). Have you tried taking any other pain mediation such as Cocodamol or Paracetamol? It may be a good idea to talk to your pharmacist and see what they recommend? I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck, and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Should really ask your doctor if you can up your meds.....maybe you are not on the higher dose yet but I wouldn't chance it without asking...Hope you get relief soon..all the best xx
