Hi I'm pretty sure you're going to say 'no' , but I'll just double check anyway - I know your dose of Oxy hasn't changed, I'm just wondering if anything else has been added to your regime in the...
Hooray! I'm so pleased for you. Just the news of someone having a pain-free day, even if it's not me, has really cheeered me up! Let's hope there are more to come! Bandit...
Susie, I've always enjoyed games etc, but have been afraid to try any sites because you hear such horror stories, so it's great to know Pogo is a safe one to use - thanks! Bandit...
After years of refusing, I finally gave in and joined Facebook and am actually having lots of fun with it. I spend quite a bit of time on chinchillaworld.com - a forum with lots of really good advice...
Fatherjohn, you've put into words exactly how I feel about my pain, especially after a particularly difficult few days this weekend. Thank you for sharing it with us. Bandit...
I have a very sensitive stomach too. I was on Tramadol for 2 years, but during that time I suffered very bad constipation, then once every few weeks, or more if I ate spicy or rich foods, I'd have...
I always think you can't go wrong with flowers. Good luck on the day, it's great that you're getting out there again (especially as it means you're feeling better!). I'm sure it will go really well...
I name the equipment I have but wish I didn't need - so my two walking sticks are George and Cyril, my sling is Doris and my disabled parking badge is Bob. It's just more light hearted to say...
Shanno I'm just like you - I pride myself on still managing to work, and it's often the only thing that keeps me sane through all this. I hear those same two comments all the time and they drive me...
You're so right Sandi - a lot of the time I feel like I know more about[b] this stuff than they do, simply because I've tried to read up on it! But it can be so hard to find the right info, and of...
Thanks for all the replies guys, I appreciate your support. I talked to my doc today and he wants to change me onto Targinact (Oxycodone & Naloxone), though I think he's just randomly trying...
I didn't have such a great time with Baclofen; it completely knocked me flat at 20mg/day (initial dose) and I ended up having to halve it, then increase a couple of weeks later. I just couldn't stay...
How interesting - for some reason, I wasn't expecting to hear that other people found the same thing - I thought it was just me! Whitebeard - my GP and pain doc both say just 'muscle spasms' and...
Hi guys I haven't posted for a long time, though I do come on and have a read regularly. I find it very difficult talking about[b] this stuff though, so I've not really found myself able to get...
Thanks for your responses and words of encouragement. No, I know it's not likely to take the pain away (though that would obviously be wonderful!), but if poss, I'd just like to get back to where I...
Hi I went for my first McTimoney chiropractic treatment. yesterday. A friend's been trying to get me to go for ages, but I had bad experiences with physio and remedial massage, so I really wasn't...
Thank you all so much for your lovely warm welcome! I can see I've definitely come to the right place! It brought tears to my eyes just reading those responses because it's so clear that I'm finally...
Hi I'm new to this site, though sadly not new to chronic pain. Two years ago I was in a serious car accident, caused by a speeding driver. She walked away, and I've been left like this. My pain is in...
