Any advice please

Similar symptoms here but kind of milder. I am not an expert on this but i fully understand you. I can only wish you luck at cambridge and to have positive thoughts about the future - it can really help instead of stress, anxiety and negative thinking.

I'm sending you good thoughts, and really hoping Cambridge can provide some answers for you, but in the short term, MST is one of the gold standards of pain relief, so if you're still in pain, something's not working. You might well be on too low a dose - GPs are scared of MST so many of them don't prescribe it properly. When used correctly, it works brilliantly. Or perhaps there is another analgesic which would be more suitable for you. Don't just up the dose yourself, though: this is a painkiller which does need to be monitored. So when you see the medics on Thursday be sure to mention the n on-pain-relieving pan relief!

And wishing you the very best of luck getting through this!

Well, I'm not pleased to hear about the catheter problems, but am extremely glad to hear you have such a supportive and sensible GP. Don't worry about getting dependent on the MST for now, concentrate on getting to a stage where you don't need it. When you don't hurt so much, you'll cut down the medication, but right now, let it do the job so that's one less thing you have to worry about. best of luck for Thursday!
