Had a MRI earlier this yr and she said its all wear and tear, so i said is that causing all the pain in my back. Yes was the reply. She has increased my Gapabentin to 4 X 300 grms and going to try injections of MTX to get swelling joints and pain down again . Got to go back in 6mths and see specialist nurse, i dont mind that as we get on well. She also said i can take my codine as back up still, which is good

sending you all hugs and hope you are as pain free as possible XXX
