Severe bloating and chest pain
So for sometime now I have been battling with an unbearable pain in my stomach and chest which goes through to my back. This is a excruciating pain that makes it impossible for me to lie down to sleep. Went to emergency but after series of labs and xray nothing was diagnosed so was asked to use pain

Guts won't restart properly after op
I just had a minor op (Wednesday) when they numbed my bum (and around there, interesting). Now possibly due to painkillers that I tried to avoid I can't get things going -one nurse gave me tramadol assuring me it's fine for constipation (not, I trusted). They gave me a load of dulcolax tablets in the

Pregabalin (Lyrica)
I’ve been on pregabalin for RLS for about 18 months. It was working besides the foggy side effect and silent migraines (the silent migraines subsided).

How to safely start Fentanyl patch when already on opioids?
I’ve been on 2mg of Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) for a couple of months now for hip and bone pain. The pain has gotten much worse, so my oncologist upped me to 4mg each time. (I’m still taking 2mg, I just take it every 3 hours now instead of every 6 hours). He also just prescribed me a 3 day release fentanyl

Tension headaches
I’ve been having headaches most days since March this year. Mostly in my forehead & not awful pain but I’m aware my head hurts. I have been to my surgery at least 4 times & still no explanation as to what’s causing them. I do have pulsating tinnitus to which doesn’t help as it keeps me awake which

Wait list from referral
Hey :)I just want some empathy I think! I got my referral to speak to a gynae (so I'm not even sure if they're an endo specialist yet!) About 6 weeks ago. I chased up with my doctors as I hadn't even heard if the referral had been received. I've been told the wait list for the initial consultation is

I’m homozygous/have the 2 copies for H63D. I’ve have higher ferritin levels over past 7/8 years ranges from circa 180 upto 380 at times.

Prednisone masking various pain issues?
I have read prednisone does not treat certain pain issues ie “arthritis” yet I am also seeing many commemts about prednisone “masking” certain issues, seems like a contradiction, and resulting in a view that prednisone is a pain killer/anti iflammatory, for other conditions other than pmr, ?

Describing my Headache
Since my TBI 5 months ago I have just figured out what my headache feels like. I have struggled to describe it to my loved ones and consultants but Eating Fizzy sherbert is how it feels (but a painful version). This is everyday even with my pain medication. Has anyone had this and does it end?
