Help - pain relief

[Danni25800]

Hi all,

I have fibro and also endometriosis. Generally I take nortyptiline every day, which helps keep pain on a low hum not gone but lower levels. But when I have flares and can’t control I take oxycodone, ondansatron combo. Very heavy and not nice to be on for too long, though in other ways amazing 🤩

I use gels like biofreeze and volterol. I’ve tried deepheat but no luck - though hot water bottle and heat blanket can help.

Currently having a huge flare - woke up today with flu like symptoms too had pcr just incase covid as dr said it can be similar to fibro pains. I’ve not had it yet (touch wood)

I’m pain right now head to toe - But I can’t even move my fingers and toes. I’m in so much pain - trying not to cry even that makes it worse - aren’t we lucky people putting up with this!!

I just wanted to come here and ask if anyone has anything to offer like creams etc. I have tried cbd (creams and drops/oils) but doesn’t work for me.

I was about to order some more bio freeze for tomorrow but before I do - any suggestions please??

Thank you all

Danni

I don't have a solution I just wanted to say I can empathise with you as I to have endo and fibro it is soul crushing at times. I find heat helps a lot and I use a tens machine. I try not to use to much dairy and use alternative milks I find it helps with bloating and cramps from endo. I know others say gluten iterates them as well so reducing that may help to. I hope you find something to ease your pain. Baths with endo salt help too x

Hello, I can totally empathize as my daughter has both as well and it can be a horrid struggle with everyday life, get too the weekends and she does sleep a lot it’s just like she trying to recharge for the week ahead, she try’s the Epsom salts bath, and agree with Elizahl try a tens machine it can help, I use the bio freeze I think it’s one of the better ones on the market. Like Elishl she has gone on alternate milks and trys not too over do the diary side ,adding fish, fruit etc in her diet, Hope you can rest today xx
