Hi there. So sorry to hear of your pain. Sounds really extreme.

Are the Cocodamol and Naproxen helping? I'm not familiar with the others.

Were you prescribed Lactulose medicine also. If not I think you will need some. Cocodamol can cause severe constipation which will make the pain even worse. Forgive me if you know this as you probably do.

Hope all these meds help to relieve your pain.

What happened 16 months ago? Or did it just come on suddenly?

Have you had any blood tests or a diagnosis?

Are you under an Orthopaedics Consultant?

Rheumatologist?

Have you had any MRI scans?

[kingbees in reply to Mary-intussuception]

no the consiltant done more reserch for me before i had my carpols done

[Mary-intussuception in reply to kingbees]

I'm not sure what you mean - which Consultant? The Neurologist?

Would you consider asking GP to refer you to the Orthopaedics for MRI scans of your knee and hip. You could also mention shoulder.

Sorry. Meant to ask about the research - not sure what that is?

Did you have nerve conduction studies? Painful, isn't it !!!

[kingbees in reply to Mary-intussuception]

as for lactulose its kind of evened itself out without going into too much detail lol nortrypiline is a different version of amytripline

[kingbees]
