Been there done that, and that, and although I can understand self medicating , but please, please , don't do that, as it will only get you into a worse situation and the pain will only get worse, and you'll get confused more and more by the drug's, and then you'll have a more unstable situation ruling your condition and your life, if' you go down that road, best wishes

thankyou for replying.

ive made an appointment to see doc tomorrow to sort out pain relief, i defo dont want morphine, ive been really careful increasing my diazapan dose today, i rang pharmacist to check if dose is ok and its safe, just addictive, so must be careful.

heres hoping doc will help tomorrow.

hope your ok, thankyou for help.xx

had the same pain ,turned out to be bulged disc pressing on syatic nerve.

had to have surgery {discotamy}. this was in 1989 still have back

Personally I cannot understand the diazapan increased, this will cause you to have one big yawn a day. It is important that you see your GP ASAP. Your tests may be brought foreward.

Your GP will sort out your meds, so you can live your day

All the best
