Hi there, does anyone out there know anything about chronic pain control? I've had a frame in my spine since Dec 95 and I'm lucky to walk (and canoe and hammock etc...), it's all catching up now and soon I may have to give up my work as the pain is that bad. I'm not looking for sympathy folks, just honest straight advice.
I've been on Dyhydrocodeine 50mg-for years but gave them up x 8 daily
Amytryptaline neuropathic blocker-doc took me off them as long term they are no good.
For the last 12 years co-codamol 30/500 x 8 daily but they are not near strong enough to deal with the pain
I tried tramadol but was violently ill with them.
I use daily a heat pad (microwavable)
TENS machine
Has anyone got any suggestions for non oppiate based pain control- apart from a trip to my local vets?
I've tried all the homeopathic stuff-pain too chronic for any of that!
Any sound advice appreciated folks.
