I am worried that accepting the pain management course will be taken as a sign that I have accepted they are not going to try and treat my ITBS and GTPS. Point 3 is the biggest issue.

Do you have any advice on pain management and trying to control symptoms? Thanks x

Has anyone had any good news from the paingone pens please as I was looking to get one to try as my pain management said it is worth a try

Dr has referred me to a 9 week pain management programme but I’m not feeling optimistic. Has anyone taken part in a similar programme? It’s all online with a gynae nurse, a physiotherapist and a psychologist. is it normal to suffer like this?

Hi, I know no one can directly post a recommendation but would anyone be able to send me a direct message if you can recommend a pain management specialist in London because I haven’t had much luck so far I’m currently on Buprenorphine 10mcg patches but they barely last 4 days and are meant to last
