NHS Refusal to help
I visited my local hospital Warwick this week via the ambulatory ward initially, I wasn’t asked for a history or examined by any doctor, he came to see me brandishing the list I gave him listing my conditions and medications, he said your already under two specialists, I can’t help you he said, your

New Diagnosis
Not much of a purpose, just an update really. I recently got diagnosed by a GP and a rheumatologist with Fibromyalgia. Honestly, there's a mixture of feelings right now, I'm angry because I've been in pain for 8 years and told time and time again there isn't anything wrong with me, but now everything

My Right lower Eyelid started to swelled up and it hurts
So yesterday morning my lower right eyelid started to hurt a little bit, but it really didn't bother me much. But on the same night it started to swell and hurts to the touch. I really don't know if it's a "Stye or Chalazion" or something worse. I'm planning to get it check out after a week to see if

Anyone got advice for severe back pain?
I have been in the house for over a week in a lot of pain from my lower back. It started with my period but hasn’t went away and it is stopping me from doing everything. It started on my lower right side of the back but now is on the tailbone. It is sending shooting pains down my right leg and a lot

Recurring Infection and Pudendal Nerve Pain?
So I’m not sure if this will help others but I had a pelvic infection 35 years ago and then agonising pain in my right groin 6 mos later (no elevated sed rate) which responded to doxycycline - numb aching mass - and Drs said my symptoms sounded like an abscess (but a pelvic sonogram showed nothing)

Anyone currently on gabapentin…
my
pain
management
consultant has suggested pairing gabapentin with either amitriptyline or duloxetine to get the best out of both pain killers. They have synergistic qualities when together.. is anyone currently on a these or have any experience with it? Looking for any advice or feedback please?

10 weeks (tomorrow) post RF ablation.
Hi all, thought I'd drop a note giving my feedback and conclusions. Hope it helps anyone making the decision. After 4 years of persistent AF and 4 cardioversions - I hated the idea of an ablation and refused to have one, believing that the cardioversions were good enough - the NSR after the 4th one

caverject/aprostadil pain
I had prostate surgery not too long ago and am now trying to find what works best regarding the ED aftereffect. Cialis did not work, Caverject/aprostadil was too painful, so now I am using Bimix Forte with a vacuum pump, which is better than nothing. I would like to try the caverject again with some

Is it arthritis? What to do....
I am in my 5th year of PMR and am down to 1.5 mg prednisone. My last bloodwork looked good, so I felt confident in going from 2.5 to the current 1.5, over 2 months. I don't feel as if my PMR is returning but I do have lots of joint pain in the morning -- in my knees, hands and wrists. I suspect it

Any help is welcome.
Hi there, I had my laparoscopy November so three months ago now. I’ve been fine until the weekend just gone. I was up all night in absolute agony only painkiller to help was codeine. I thought the laparoscopy was meant to stop these pains for a while?

Non drowsy pain medication?
Hi all, I have endo between uterus and bowel, my left ovary is stuck to my pelvis and bowel and I have adeno as well. I've only tried ibuprofen, paracetemol, naproxen, codeine and co-codamol (over the counter strength) for pain relief and co-codamol works best to take the edge off. Unfortunately it

RA and the gut
Not an easy topic, but has anyone any advice on constipation? Everything I take in the way of medication or painkillers has this effect, in spite of a high roughage diet and loads of fruit daily. Not keen on laxatives would prefer natural remedies. Anything on gut health would be good too. Help!
