Is TMS working?
Don't know if my treatments are helping me or not because I am having so many physical complaints that have reduced my quality of life to zero. Chronic dry eye which the Xiidra drops are not helping. 24 hour a day pain from new dentures (can't eat anything but yogurt) and a burning pain in my inguinal

Inflammatory arthritis & pulmonary embolisms?
After years of x-rays on multiple joints (looking for osteoarthritis) & countless blood tests (looking for rheumatoid factor) - all of which returned negative results - I was finally diagnosed with Seronegative Inflammatory Arthritis in January. My Rheumatologist first tried methotrexate and then leflunomide

Pain update
I went to the pain dr thus morning. He thinks I have a pinched nerve. Ordered an MRI to be done next Tuesday and gave me nerve pain medication and a lower dose of morphine and it doesn’t make me sick. The nerve pain has subsided to where I can function. The good news is he doesn’t think it’s anything

I have not written on the form for a while but would like your thoughts on the following: On Sunday night and all day Monday I had chest pain especially when breathing in, and both shoulders and upper back were sore. It was still very painful on Tuesday so I phoned GP and was told as it was chest pains

Arthritis and P.A
Today the g.p. has told me that the mri I had shows arthritis in my upper back and neck. He says its likely to be osteoarthritis rather than rheumatoid arthritis. I told him I have pain every day and it's bad. I also have pain in my hip, elbow and hands. He said to have more blood tests and see the physio

Vydura tablets
Has anyone tried Vydura (rimegepant) either as a migraine preventative or as a migraine treatment? What are your experiences of it? What are the side effects? Is it effective? I have tried many migraine preventatives, none of which are currently effective! I use rizatriptan and OTC painkillers as migraine

Pain relief during Period
I have daily pain throughout any stage of my cycle all day everyday. I recently started taking codeine and amitriptyline when it got to point I couldn't cope anymore. This was about 3 weeks ago. It doesnt remove the pain its still bad but takes a small edge off sometimes and I figure I needed to give

Chronic pain and injury study
The aim of the research is to better understand the link between injury, injustice, and
pain
. I am hoping to publish the results in a
pain
management
journal to help guide future research for those living with chronic pain.

I’m back😁. Used to be Dtech.
Been a while since I was last on here. I didn’t go on a lot unless I could help with anything. So jock update. I’m now happily retired. Dog walking and playing golf. Going on occasional holidays. Had a week in Seville to celebrate my 70th birthday. January I had a bad hip. Thought it was just a strain

Tapering
It is some time since I posted anything about my PMR journey, but want to share my recent tapering experience. I have been on prednisone for 4.5 years and struggled over covid lockdowns being able to talk to anyone, gp or rheumatoid, when I was having what I thought were flares of pmr when trying to

Caution: regarding medical procedure to insert a gel to protect organs while undergoing radiation
I’m 73 and I recently had this procedure done and it seems to be working well. But a word of caution. I’ve had some severe back problems where 3 vertebra are pinching nerves for several years. Typically the pain is sporadic and only a 3-4 out of 10. I have in the past had a couple very painful bouts

Advice
I have asked my GP for a learning disabilities assessment to keep getting help from a family support worker, but He said that He would chase my ASD assessment instead. I am really worried because our actual family support worker is leaving us as our daughter is 18 next month, but I cannot make conversations

struggling to get diagnosed
Since I was 13 I have been dealing with significant pain in my lower abdomen and back, particularly during my menstrual cycle. The intensity of the pain has been increasing, to the point where it is impacting my ability to carry out normal daily activities some days. Additionally, I have been experiencing
