So much pain
Is anyone suffering from
chronic
pain
due to central nervous system damage? How do you cope? I'm bedridden 2 years now after open heart surgery and overmedicated then undermedicated.

Did I cause my PA?
So! I was visiting my doctor yesterday and voiced my concerns about gabapentin as he wants me to up the dose as says I can have up to 3000 mgs aday. I'm resistant having read what I have on the F/B gabapentin page. I told him I preferred to take daily b12 injections to treat my PA than take more painkillers

Health update
Well, the BIG news is that I did NOT slip a disc. The doc said I severely strained the muscles from my knees all the way to my lower back. The pain is almost the same as a slipped disc, but the timescale dramatically different. She said it could take 4-6 weeks. And if I didn’t feel noticeably better

Transplant.vs dialysis
Hi. I am going through the process for a kidney transplant. I had my first appointment with the transplant deans was supposed by what he was saying. I felt like he was trying to talk me ougetting a transplant. He told me there was no guarantee a transplant would improve my life more than dialysis.

Which painkillers with prednisolone
I have just reduced prednisolone to the second stage 50mg. Headaches are not to bad but still there at times. Can I take painkillers, if so which ones. The pains are normally in the temple and forehead areas.

more advice
Diagnosed hypothyroidism in February and prescribed levothyroxine (accord brand) which left me with
chronic
joint
pain
. I had loads of other tests which came back normal and doctors refused to believe it was the medication that caused the pain.

ibuprofen gel
Currently unable to contact a pharmacist or doctor. Does anyone know of a topical pain killer gel I can take whilst on anticoagulants? Apparently, ibuprofen gel is a no-no. Thanks Thanks everyone, pharmacist confirmed I can use Deep Heat, Heat Patches and or, paracetamol.

Sudden painful lymphnode on neck

Does it get worse
Hi, I have had Tinnitus my whole life or at least as long as I can remember. I didn't realise that it wasnt normal until a few years ago. I am not sure how I ended up with it, my up bring was very stressful and my mother would often give me high stress painkillers to keep me quiet. I have read some research

Stem cell transplant starts on Monday
A bit of background - In October 2021 I had a rapid and florid relapse following the end of my Ibrutinib treatment in FLAIR so I was started on Acalabrutinib with no effect and also had investigations for Richter's. Tests showed that I was resistant to the currently available BTKi's (two synergistic

MDD and impact on physical health
I don’t have the stamina that I did, constant stomach problems,
chronic
pain
etc. What I learned is exercise can help but not a cure for depression. You can’t exercise depression away. Have others noticed their physical health deteriorate over time with Depression?
