What is the cause of your chronic pain?

[Hidden in reply to BaneBane2424]

Osteoarthritis in every joint back neck and neck and jaw

[stokebones]

Is that 4 hourly or 12 hourly?

[Hidden in reply to stokebones]

Slow release morphine every 12 hours amitramitrip... 20 mgs at night

[BaneBane2424 in reply to Hidden]

You should have some injections for your condition to block the pain signals. Or try a CBD Oil, it is a little bit expensive but safer than morphine!

[Hidden in reply to BaneBane2424]

Our surgery you have to wait months to have an injection lm in agony thank you

[BaneBane2424 in reply to Hidden]

You don't have some connections to get an earlier appointment? Or some of your friends/family to arrange things faster? Or, if you have some extra money to go to a private pain clinic and do it faster...

What is CBD oil

[BaneBane2424 in reply to Hidden]

Cannabis oil. It contains many cannabinoids which are useful in treating pain. It is legal and it doesn't contain THC so you cannot get high on this. Google about it and consider about buying one.

Thank you

Don't worry, that is a tiny dose. Once it is slowly increased it will help - or should help.

[Hidden in reply to stokebones]

Went to the Dr she said l couldn't go higher as they cause to many side affects one said morphine doesn't work well l belive that so far l am on gabapentin as well

[stokebones in reply to Hidden]

So your on 10 mg every 12 hours with nothing for breakthrough ?

Technically you'd be better off taking the max dose of codeine which is slightly stronger than what you are on.

The max dose of tramadol is at least double as strong

Can you not write to the pain clinic and ask them to increase the dose ? .

[Hidden in reply to stokebones]

I am waiting for my next appointment with them they are a month behind and l have tried tramadol but they made me sweat a lot

[stokebones in reply to Hidden]

With respect if you're in agony don't wait - ring them and ask for them to write to your GP to increase or write to the consultant.

You shouldn't be left In agony because your doctor doesn't want to up your dose.

Opioids make a lot of people sweaty - I'd take that over the pain any day personally, but just my opinion.

Don't believe everything Dctors tell you, they need to cover their behinds.
