what kind of medication do people use for chronic pelvic pain?

[Red1974]

I would like to hear from people what type of meds they take.

Thanks

I take gabapentin 3x a day, mefenamic acid and paracetamol with dihydrocodeine, if I’m honest I haven’t found a combination that works yet. When I spoke to my GP last week he simply said “what do you want ME to do about it” and then when I said about the combination maybe not being right for me he replied with “no we can’t give you anything else. When pain becomes chronic, pain medication no longer works”. So I am following on with this post for advice too 😔

Your doctor shouldn't be a doctor at all what he has said there is really awful this is all we have ( unless you go private) putting up with different bad behaviours from doctors who really they don't know themselves much about chronic pelvic pain therefore some times creates crappy answers and you are made to feel bad

alpha lipoic acid along with 150 mg of pregabalin twice a day

Does your medication work takes your pain away or are you struggling with that

Medication now takes almost all the pain away - its a bit lo0nger story than that: After 5 or 6 years I finally feel somewhat normal. I can sense when my PN is going to flare up and figured out how to calm everything down in a day or so. I recommend you take a look around this site for help: pudendalhope.info/ I also recommend reading this book " A Headache in the Pelvis". I think you can find it on Amazon. Good luck in your search to feel better!
