Painkillers
I have been on Gabapentin and Tramadol for 5 years to help with pain. I have now been told GP will no longer prescribe as they are shown to have no effect on chronic pain and are addictive. Anyone else had the same?

back spasm, can anything be done?
what do you do to get comfy or relieve pain? e.g take magnesium? something topical? thanks question 2, what pain medication have you used? i guess it'll be up to the prescribing doctor, but people here often have extra knowledge and tips

Does this sound like endo?
I have had chronic pelvic/ lower back pain for the past 12 years, it flares up to the point where I can't do anything, but lay in bed and then after a few days to weeks it calms down to just the "usual pain/ache" and the cycle continues. I have been to see so many doctors and trips to A&E over the years

Seeking advice on burning feet symptom and an endocronoligist recommendation in London
Hi everyone. Over the last two years I’ve learnt so much from this site and I’m very grateful. I’m looking for some advice relating to my hypothyroid symptoms. I was diagnosed nearly three years ago and am taking 50mg of Teva. My symptoms arrived suddenly, and I still have bouts of anxiety and depression

Negative SVT Ablation experience
Good Morning All, So I had my SVT Ablation on Thursday at St Thomas’. Not a great experience. Procedure took 3 and half hours. I was awake the whole time and conscious of everything! Four puncture wounds on groin. Two either side. I could feel the catheters going up into my veins and tweaking around

Viral meningitis
My 17 year old daughter was diagnosed with viral meningitis last weekend and this was confirmed on Monday. Initially she was given antiviral and antibiotics because they was unsure if it was bacterial meningitis. She had been unwell for 5 or 6 weeks. Permanent headache that painkillers didn't touch

To family and friends who help us
HiThis post is a bit different from me. Those who have read any posts I've written know I have health conditions that like all of us we have to get on with no matter how much they suck. The side most people know about me where I live is that I'm a family carer. I have been a carer for different family
