Hi guys I need help as to what people are using to control there pain

I was diagnosed in 2009 after an aortic dissection and doctors have not been able to get my pain under control, have tried numerous medication and nothing seems to work

In 2015 I had a high tibial Osteotomy on my right knee and six month later had to have it removed as it got infection and was left walking on a broken leg for a year until november 2016 they did a full knee replacement I’m only 46

So I’ve have suffered with severe pain since 2009 and as I have said tried loads of different meds’ right now I’m taking 60mg of zomorph twice a day along with paracetamol but not having any effect on my pain all it’s doing is making my skin itch like crazy so have to take anti hisamine but these too have little effect every night for the past few years I’ve been awake all night and don’t know what to do or try so please guys I’m needing some serious input here I cannot go on like this it’s doing me no good and having no sleep is killing me

Hi Well first thing I would do is get involved with pain clinics,as they really understand pain of all sorts and what med work best for different pain. I am on hydrmorphe continue. 3 times per day. I don't like talking this sort of med. As its a narcotic. You have to be super careful when on certain meds. I also take tramadole compound. Check with your Dr. about the pain clinic I think it will be the best outlook for your pain control.
