Mechanical and remedial pain

[garynova]

I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma 7 years ago. It broke my back in 13 places I was in a brace for 6 months which healed my back, but its left me with mechanical and remedial pain. I take MST twice a day and oramorph every 4 hours it doesn't really touch the pain. I have CPD oil and wondering wether to take it, but as I've been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation as well I'm sure I think I should speak to the cardio team first. I've had a cardio version which didn't work waiting for an ablation now. Has anyone got any tips and plans to help me

Sorry to hear about the pain you are in. Can't help with the CBD oil as I have no knowledge about it. As you have known heart problems I think it would be best to speak to your cardiac team first.

Having been through so much you sound like someone who has a lot of inner strength. Have you had a review of your pain medication from your Oncologist's or Oncology nurse? I have some spinal pain and have a small dose of nortyptaline which I find helps it. I find gentle exercise stops the muscles tightening up around any damaged areas, but avoid certain movements which trigger heightened ongoing pain. (I have damage which can effect nerves in neck) . Ongoing pain is draining and I hope that you find some additional relief from it.

my sister takes CBD oil and it helps her. I took it a few years ago and tried to believe it helped , I found it a comfort but I cannot be sure it helped me. I cannot see why you shouldn’t give it a try. Good luck
