Pain management alternatives
“Things I learned along the way” … in the event this may help others, I thought I’d share … If you or your loved one is struggling a great deal with pain, you may want to consider 1) having a pain pump placed 2) acupuncture. As my Jeff’s pain became harder to manage with his drug regimen, we were referred

Getting diagnosed
I’ve recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia by gp. Got to see a specialist in a couple of weeks. They won’t give me any stronger pain killers than naproxen. But I can’t cope I’m in agony as soon as I wake up till I go to sleep, I have a 16 month old who I can barely pick up or even sit and play on

Surviving endometriosis
Hello, I'm a long time sufferer of Endometriosis. Had 3 surgeries, use numerous methods to ease flare ups and awful pain during and after my period. I did have a coil, but had the removed 2 years ago due to constant bleeding. It's been very manageable the last few years but recently it's getting really

Fractured wrist
Good morning everyone. I need advice please. My partner managed to fall yesterday (fell off a high kerb while looking to avoid traffic) He’s fractured his left wrist and is now in plaster in a sling but been told he may likely need an operation to pin and plate it. He’s in a great deal of pain, understandably

Microvascular decompression
Microvascular decompression gladly took away my pain of Trigeminal neuralgia. I may have to do it again in six months, but we’ll see.

Still Waiting
I’ve been in agony for ages, it all started last April, pain in my lower left side that started as a dull ache but just got progressively worse. It’s around the hip, buttocks, lower left leg and sometimes as high as under the rib cage. After keeping a pain diary I’ve noticed it does flare up around the

An unfortunate series of events
Hi I’m in a bit of a dilemma. Recently several things happened to me in quick succession. 1. My RA specialist ( locum ) advised me to reduce my MTX doseage. 2. I had a heart attack and my anti- inflammatory stopped ( naproxen ) I am now experiencing what I think is a flare ( shoulders / neck / back pain

? To denerve or not to denerve?!
I’ve had preliminary local anaesthetic jabs, one side, (no steroid) in lower facet joints via pain management clinic. This is to try to identify whether it would be valuable to try denervation. Really hard for me to isolate the pain and to know how effective they were over approx. a 24 hour period.

Covid vaccine and methotrexate - interesting article 📰
Morning Peeps 🙂 Thought some of you might be interested in reading this article from The New Scientist 27/6/2022 It discusses stopping mtx for 2 weeks after a Covid vaccine, which I have read a lot about on here. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2326185-coming-off-methotrexate-doubles-antibody-levels-after-covid

My Jeff, a beautiful life
Sunday, June 26th, Jeff continued to rest at home. We were so very grateful that his pain seemed completely managed and we didn’t have to fret about his hurting. The hospice nurse visited around 10:00 a.m. and considering the circumstances, Jeff was “ok”. His oxygen levels were actually up, his heart

Do I have a hysterectomy?
I have suffered with pain since I was 11 years old and am now 38. I have had 2 coils, 2 laparoscopys, tried tri-cycling my combined pill for years, the mini pill, hormone injections and HRT. I have pain for 7-10days on a 2 weekly cycle and feel like my endo rules my life. I feel like I am not able to

In so much pain from passing large clots… I really hate my uterus. Fed up! 😢
My usual dose of painkillers isn’t working for my adenomyosis & Endo pain this month. I came on yesterday. I think this month is extra painful because I took the Norethisterone to delay my period for my holiday and I regret taking it so much if that’s what’s causing this unbearable pain. Been in tears

One week post op
Hi I donated a kidney Thursday 16th June.. Was out of hospital on the Saturday 18th..Friday out of bed, shuffling about on my feet, a lot of discomfort. Day of going home a slow walk and feeling very delicate. Felt every bump on being driven home. Next three days progressively better pain wise, though

Muscles
Hi Everyone, I am on 10.5 pred for 4 weeks. I am getting bilateral muscle pain in arms and legs in morning. They tend to get better about a hour after I wake with pain killers so I’m assuming they are not pmr! Any advice here please. Janet

What Long Term Pain Killers do you use?
My doctor is trying to take me off cocodamol and giving me paracetamol as it’s not long term. I keep informing them that paracetamol is not going to help and I would just be in so muhc pain. What other medications do you guys use to manage flare ups. I’m currently having one can’t get out of bed I’m

Diagnostic laparoscopy on Friday
The date is getting closer but the pain is much much worse. I finally was told that I had a cyst on my left ovary a month after having my ultrasound scans, and also after being given the date for my laparoscopy. I recently had to go back to taking desogestrel as I had ran out of the new one and with
