Pain relief - again

I can't help you but I will be following this thread as I'd be interested to hear what helps others.

I have tried acupuncture with no success.

Paracetamol is a good, relatively safe drug but not really strong enough for me.

Have you tried a TENS machine? Works for a lot of people.

I’m rubbish with most pills!

So I’ll be watching this thread too.

I find being in cold water (sea dipping) and a bit of walking makes me pain free (easy when you are away on holiday)
This week back at home - I’m just back to being stiff, immobile and crippled up.
I think there really is something about our UK climate, I feel like two different people be ause the change is always so stark
Always feel like an old lady when I’m at home…

Has anyone tried CBD - I would be interested in that? Other than that pain relief relies on me taking my meds (Pregabalin and Co Codamol) at regular intervals with the odd gin and tonic thrown in,

I am a huge believer in acupuncture.

Have you anyone that could procure you some cannabis?
I know someone with MS who takes it, not sure how she comes by it though.

Have you discussed a pain patch with your pain team? Yes they are opioids but they largely by pass the stomach so less irritating.
You have to be used to opioid meds first I think as they are not for the opioid naive.
I have one and it takes the edge off my pain. All the best.
