Hi survivor.welcome to the forum. I am sure you will get help and support here.

Firstly, do you live in the UK? It will make a difference to replies as systems and sevices differ ?

If you are in UK then you should be asking your GP for referral to a Pain Management clinic. They are the experts on pain and how to manage it better. Services differ from health board to health board but all will advise on medications and most provide pain management courses.

Have you joined the Fibromyalgia forum ? It's a very busy one with lots of members who post and reply a lot.

Looking forward to speaking to you in the future

Dee

Hi 👋🏾

Surviver1

Your in the right place to get all the encouragement enlightenment and social chats in relation to our pains.

If you have had these conditions a while you should have been referred to a pain management clinic. To assess your pains and what will work best for you.

Even if we are connected with specialist is nice to cone on here and vent our feelings and share one another's up and downs.

I hope you enjoy your time here. It's a very good forum with different ailment communities.

I feel you with you pain as I have spinal osteomalacia and rest of body. Severe bladder spasms syndrome and a dialysis patient. A complex of conditions but we fight and survive.

Stay strong 💪🏾

All the best.

Hope to see post from you in future x

Hydrotherapy is very good for pain relief if you can access it!
