Back spasm!
I was just getting ready to settle down & enjoy new year`s tv, when I simply turned round & my lower back suddenly spasmed up. I was unable to stand up without being in agony. It`s not the first time this has happened. Painkillers don`t help much,& neither does Voltarol. Does anyone on this site know

This & that!
The results from my bone density showed that I don't have osteo poreosis so that's good news which probably means the back is due to OA :( I'm still waiting for a date for my knee replacement which had been planned for Oct/Nov - I'm way over the 18 weeks as the main theatres at the hospital were closed

Chronic Back Pain/Disc Trouble, Voltarol Prescription
I have suffered with terrible back pain since the age of 19. I was very fit and active as a younger man. Unfortunately I was only diagnosed correctly after Physio and other GP recommended treatments had intensified the pain and caused a situation where I spent 7 weeks on the floor and about 4 months

Still don't feel quite right
Since I complained to the doctor I didn't feel right I have had my dosage upped by 50 mcg and my tsh has gone from 4.07 to 0.012 (0.35-5.5) But my ft 4 has only changed from 14.6 to 15.5 (10-22.7) And my ft3 is 4.6 which hasn't changed at all (3.5-6.5) I am at a loss where to go with it all everytime

Pain killer advice please! - At the moment taking Meveberine, Diclofenac, Co-codamol and still get pain.
My pain goes like this: Period pain (actually not too bad, paracetamol or naproxen will work) Ovulation pain last for a few days to a week. Stabbing pain on left side or right side depending on which month. none on the painkiller works. The pain goes from tummy where ovary is to bottom. Feels

Can anyone give me any advice on coping with pain?!
To cut a long story short- I was previously one of the lucky ones who only experienced pain during period and maybe the week before. I hadn't found anyway of dulling the pain but could grit my teeth and get through it knowing it wouldn't last long. However since my last lap I have been experiencing

What can I expect?
I am seeing my Rheumatologist later this week and wondered what sort of routine I can expect. I was diagnosed a few weeks ago and sent off for a month with Hydoxychloroquine and voltarol. Should I be expecting more blood tests? I'm asking this question as I am not in the UK so probably the protocols

No jogging for me :-(
I have the stiffest and most painfully sore neck I have ever had in my life. I barely got any sleep last night. So there is no way I can go jogging today, I think I'd pass out after about 5 minutes if I even made it that long. I tried heat, Ive tried cold, I've tried Ibuprofen and paracetamol (not together

Endometriosis and PCOS.
I have suffered with uncontrollable hormones since puberty. I have been on Cerazette since I was 14 years old. This stopped me having periods. In October 2010 I was having severe lower abdominal cramps, so I went to see my GP. He had a scan arranged within weeks for me and told me to come off my pill

GP Saga Continues... Anyone work for the NHS/have info for me?
For those who kindly read and replied to my previous post about my disastrous gp appointment over a week ago... I've just received a letter from my GP which basically says that he's thought about referring me to the pain specialist at the other local hospital but he thinks for now I should just carry

The Document that All Endo Sufferers Must Read!
I was diagnosed with endo in 2004 and have done lots of research over the years. However, until today I've never discovered the RCOG Green Top Guidelines on the treatment of endometriosis. Here is the link: http://www.rcog.org.uk/files/rcog-corp/GTG2410022011.pdf I urge every endo sufferer to read

Swollen Fingers Knuckles and Wrists
I have had VERY swollen fingers knuckles and wrists for several months now and they are really painful. I have seen my doctor and been prescribed both Voltarol medication and Gell to apply directly. Neither of those treatments worked and so I was prescribed Codine to help with the pain, and was sent

Week 5 Run 3 take two!
Went out just before 4 to do my Week 5 Run 3 and started struggling after 5 minutes. After several starts and stops I came across an open door on a building that I pass every run. There's an elderly gent of 88 missing here since Thursday so I thought I'd call the police station just in case he'd gone

Any alternatives to Ketoprofen suppositories?
Hi there, I've been taking anti inflammatory suppositories for donkey's years. I used to be on Froben but they were discontinued. I was then put onto Ketoprofen which I was quite happily taking along with Esomeprazole. A couple of weeks ago these were discontinued as well. I've been using 100mg Voltarol

Goodbye week 8.....

Started off well after the warm up and about 8 mins into run, was feeling a few twinges but y 10 mins, these had gone. The twinges

Was I have a flare up?
Hi, I'm newly disagnosed and not had a flare up before. I'm not on medication at the moment as my blood counts keep dropping, I saw my consultant last Monday and he told me to stop taking my anti-inflammatories as this may be the cause of my low blood counts. He gave me voltarol gel to rub into my joints

Voltarol gel ??
My white blood cells keep dropping so I've been taken off MTX twice now. I take naprosyn anti-inflamatories, I went to see the rheumy consultant yesterday and he thinks it might be the naprosyn that is messing my bloods about. He has told me to stop taking the pills and use voltarol gel instead.
