Hello and welcome Yvonne. Have you been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia? It sounds like you've had treatment for pain in your legs, knees and arm.

If taking the pain medication that you mention doesn't help you, you need a medical review with your Doctor/Consultant. By seeing your Doctor and explaining all your symptoms, where your pain is etc., they will be able to treat you especially for this. Once you have the correct pain relief you should feel a lot better.

(Do you have a Consultant? If not perhaps it might be a good idea to ask for a referral from your GP to a Rheumatologist who would examine you and treat you for your pain and also diagnose you if this hasn't happened already.)

It's good to have you here with us. Take care.

Its so hard finding paoin releif as we all seem to have different pain and what may suit one peron will not another keep going to the gp. As for work I work in a gp as a nurse and have support but feel that I have got to constantly prove myself some days I feel sick with fatigue and pain. - have been offered redundancy but have refused as it would be hard to get another job that suits me. But u may have worse pain than me and find it difficult. Have u thought of trying volunteer work u could put this on your cv good luck x x

Welcome Yvonne

Yeah in agrreance please do not take more than you should consult your Dr to try something else.

I worked in a pharmacy for 8 yrs and you learn a lot and it is put on that you must not.

If i feel something not helping i go back.

You can do one medication one hour the another 2 hours later this way it gets into your system and your not having to wait 4 hours! As i know this serns to be a major problem.

The wearing off . ( i am NOT a Pharmacist) just to point out

But have many experiences and i have learnt a fair bit from it too.

Xxxxx
