It's tough dealing with
chronic
pain
, specifically the headaches as it's a constant reminder of your sickness. If the headaches could just go away or diminish in intensity, i would be doing so much better mentally. It is what it is.

Nerve compression after surgery for Cauda Equina
Ho- just wondered if anyone had been through a similar thing. A relative had surgery for Cauda Equina which failed. She had had a new nerve compression- due to pressure from centralised disc - but she has been refused surgery despite the excruciating pain. She has tried several neuropathic painkillers

ibs-d and facing surgery
I’m having a knee replacement on Wednesday and worried about my ibs-d as bad at the mo. I’m taking loperamide but worried that if I take too many with the combination of strong painkillers I’ll end up constipated. Also concerned that as im having an epidural I wont be able to feel if I need to go😩

Is codeine ok with prednisolone.
Foolishly went mad digging garden couple of weeks ago and upset my back....past slipped disc. Seeing pysio and doing all the right things and keeping pain killers to a minimum as even the paracetamol make me feel strange, light headed and upset digestive system. I am on omeprazole. Would codeine be a

Pleasant Touch for Chronic Pain
Some of you may know I run a company that supports healthcare clinics and this article came from one of my physio clients. I love a bit of neuroscience and this very much based on neuroscience and pain receptors. Thought it was interesting. It advocates massage - not the pummelling, misery inducing

Heading for transfer no.6 - protocol modifications
So today I had my follow up appt after 5th failed transfer. Was hoping mr Dr would suggest something new and boy has he done that! 😊😊 5th transfer I had HCG wash before transfer but no other additional tests/treatments. This time I’m having clexane injections, prednisolone, oestrogen patches instead

Chronic
sciatica and the cervical

goes through shoulders, down the arms and into the hands. It initially happened at work when a patient fell on me . Now I’ve been reading about Fybromyalgia I’m sure I have it . How do you get diagnosed ?

What makes you feel better?
The most helpful have been guided meditation (best when I was at my worst), yoga (literally starting with 1 or 2 floor moves a day and building up to weekly classes), massage (for short term muscle

chronic
pain
and anxiety), physio (helped to start

Relapsed CLL: New Approaches Prolong Survival
Dr Furman says that genetically unstable CLL patients need a combination therapy approach to treatment irrespective of MRD assessment results. This is only a short read and Dr Furman's opinion is always worth taking note of. In case it’s behind a paywall, here is the article in full. Credit to
