Some advice, please
I have to add that since my original PMR diagnosis I have now been diagnosed with hardening of the arteries in my legs, worse in right leg, and
spinal
stenosis
with disc collapse in the left of my back causing pressure on L5 nerve root, diagnosed by MRI, and I am awaiting a neurosurgical appointment.

How do you manage?
Living w/chronic pain most of my life. Opioids don't work for me, spinal cord stimulator helps. Exercise + mindfulness help also. I have use of a pool twice-weekly but must use rollator to help me walk. Pain care is mostly private and restricted in ROI, so very expensive! What access do you have to help

Cortisol blood test
Hi again, please excuse my apparent ignorance, probably brought about due to poor or insufficient advice from the Medical profession. I have two questions: I have been told by my GP to have a Cortisol blood test. The only information given to me is to have it done at 9 am. I asked him if I should stop

Buprenorphine/ Subutex,, Temgesic,CBD, THC , Traumeel injections
I can’t not emphasis this enough Anyone starting Buprenorphine / Subutex Or the micro dose version Temgesic. You will not get this advice from your doctors but I urge you to start in this manor. Buy a pill cutter and nightly cut you sublingual tablet into about 8 /10 tiny little crumbs. These medications

Medial branch
Hi, For many years I have suffered with
spinal
stenosis
and tried various pain killers and anti-inflammatory with not much success and I have eventually secured an appointment with pain management to discuss my suitability for a medial branch block. Has anyone else had any experience of this?

SURGERY?

Due to the Scoliosis, I am having significantly more general pain, especially in my neck and Sciatica in my right leg hip joint ("electric shocks"). Then radiated

I’ve been through a variety of painkillers and nerve medication but have abandoned them all apart from Cocodamol which is for
Spinal
Stenosis
rather than Polymyalgia. I’m curtently on 3mg of Prednisolone. Hope you find some relief.

Likely final posting
A few days ago posted was entering hospice, below is a letter sent to friends and family. In my situation looks PC will not be fatal, but another disease. In my situation there is no medical cure but only the peace the Lord can, has, and will provide. Please no judgements or 'fixit" ideas, instead

Anterior Spinal Fusion means I can no longer sit upright due to severe pain in my SI Joints/Sit bones. Anyone else had the same happen?
I had a 2 level (L4 /L5 & L5/S1) Posterior Fusion revised in 2017. Plus an additional Anterior Fusion at the same level. Now, 4 years later I am unable to sit upright. Not even in bed. Eating or movement in my lower abdomen also causes a great deal of pain in my SI Joints, groin, and thighs. I'd be
