Are you able to get in the bath? Try a hot bath to help relax the muscles. If you got epsom salts this sometimes helps (don't know why)

I can't take any type painkiller and it's hard for me to get in the bath, but it does help. Have you got any distractions ie music, films, books (I read although I find it hard to concentrate sometimes). Try to find something to take your mind off it.

I know its not much but I hope it helps xxx

hi suwie , do u take paracetamol too ? i was told by consultant to take them at the same time as my tramadol as it makes the tramadol more effective , what dose are you on , do you have slow release so its in your system all the time ? , sorry asking so many questions , warm hugs J

Hi there!

I've been taken off of my amitriptyline as my liver function tests are too high, and I'm in so much pain again! I've actually ordered myself some ACTIVE CHERRY supplements they are apparently great for helping with the pain, so don't you try these! I feel anything is worth a try! I sure hope you find some relief soon, take care. Annie xx
