Had my first rheumatologist appointment on Thursday, he too, like my two GPs are convinced it’s not Polymyalgia. He’s suggesting bursitis, or tendonitis. I had five X-ray, blood’s taken, and a thorough examination of my joints, which he says are all good. I’ve to reduce my steroids, currently on 10,

What pain killers can I take when on HU?
I am experiencing terrible pain in my left hip/ thigh and leg and slept for only one hour last night. I had an X-ray and blood tests on Wednesday and await the X-ray results. Nothing was broken luckily. But meanwhile I am taking paracetamol every four hours which really doesn’t do much. As I’m on Hydroxycarbamide

Pain Clinic for RLS
Hi, How many of you go to a
pain
management
clinic for your RLS treatment ? The neurologists/ sleep doctors here are outdated and just not ready to listen. On the other hand, I'm not sure if pain clinics are aware of RLS or managing it.

Gabapentin
He said if I need to up the dosage or continue the gabapentin when the script he wrote runs out I will need to see a
pain
management
doctor. I take it with extra strength tylenol and sometimes a muscle relaxer it helps minimally at best but from what I hear the gabapentin dose is too low.

How should I ask for my pain medication back?
I had an intentional overdose last week on cocodamol. This was due to a number of reason and being abruptly stopped with no antidepressants for over 2 months and very stressful family issues. My mood at the moment is quiet erratic and changes very intensely but I am starting my old antidepressants again

How to end the suffering of Endo???
Does anybody have any ideas on how to end the pain that is part of Endo??, i woke up screaming in pain this morning, and i got a little depressed about it this morning. Has anybody had their endo surgically removed?, is that even possible?. I thought going through the menopause would stop this pain

Bleeding at 6 weeks
Sorry if people see this twice - I originally posted on the other board but realised it should probably be here. I turned 6 weeks today, even had my first morning spent throwing up so was feeling pretty positive. I’ve had a lot of cramping this cycle, from before transfer even so been trying to persuade

12dp5dt cramping
Slowly going crazy today - I had some cramping for the first 4-5 days post transfer but it died down and I haven't felt much apart from an occasional twinge. Yesterday and today the cramps are back and feel like a dull ache. They're strong enough I'd take a pain killer if I could. My husband and I have

Muscle Spasms
I had what I thought was a pulled muscle and they xrayed at Christie's, this lasted couple of days it's turned into agony. It starts like a wave that builds up around my shoulders, my neck and tingling, numbness and pain down my left arm. The pain is practically to half of my body back and front, but

I've been told my pelvic region is clean and I'm being referred to the
