Sacral Insufficiency Fractures
Hi, I've just joined this online community, which feels like a good start! I was diagnosed with sacral insufficiency fractures following a scan in February of this year. My symptoms - excruciating pain and limited mobility - started in September 2022 only 3 months after the finish of my pelvic radiotherapy

I didn’t know if I’d be able to come back…..
Hello It’s been months since I posted to all the lovely supportive people here. I’m very sorry but I couldn’t face it as I had an injury, which a physio said meant that I might not be able to run again. I was devastated. But the amazing news is after nearly 4 months of not running I started very slowly

Edinburgh Endo Clinic
Hello! Just wondering if anyone has been on a loooong waiting list to be seen by an Endo specialist for the first time since diagnosis? Currently, it's an 80-week waiting time in Edinburgh. I know there is an option to go privately but I am just totally shocked that someone has to suffer from pain etc

Anticoagulant users
G'day, Just after some input from NOAC and Warfarin users. I use Warfarin and have done so for nearly 14 years. No sweat ! Never had bleed problems but have had an assortment of bruising problems in that time usually from DIY mishaps. All sorts of pretty colours of blues, greens, yellows and purples

Laparoscopy found nothing - symptoms all point to endometriosis
I don’t suppose anyone has been in the same situation as me and can help? I have suffered from a range of issues from 15 with periods; bleeding and pain with intercourse, severe leg pain, always bleeding/spotting outside of periods, bad period pains, UTI like symptoms and odd bowel movements around

constipation from panadeine, or vertebra nerves, or both?
so docs have said constipation can be caused by pain medication and by the nerves of the vertebra, what's your experience, thanks any pain medication comments welcomed, i think. a dr friend of mine has used patches.

Pelvic Pain Worse at Night
Hi all. Currently undiagnosed/suspected endo. Trying to document when I get flare ups of pelvic pain/cramping and notice any links/triggers. I don’t have periods due to having the coil (used to have incredibly painful periods/heavy periods) but still suffering from pelvic pain. If I get any spotting

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?

Things, regimens,etc that are probably RLS worthless.
If you find something that you sincerely believe helps you, go for it (hypnotherapy for
pain
management
comes to mind). This posting is information, not judgment. For the rest of us RLS sufferers, the list is probably things to steer of. As always, peace, and I hope this helps.

Pregabalin advice
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia quite some time ago but was never referred to anyone relating to
pain
management
until I changed gp last year. The
pain
team assessed me and prescribed pregabalin increasing slowly until I reached 75mg twice a day. All well and good until this week.
