I am in a lot of pain all day and all night. I can't get away from it. I do have pain killers but they don't help much.

I wondered if there were ways other people with chronic pain found to help them ? Anything is worth trying

I have been in chronic pain on and off since 2009. I had an operation in 2013 that was supposed to cure it but it didn't. Struggled on thinking that this was going to be my life from now on but got to the point that I had, had enough. Went back to my GP and now see a very good physio on the NHS. I have my physio, acupuncture, ultrasound and sports massage and at the minute it's keeping my pain levels down. I have also been referred to my local gym for 12 weeks to do some extra exercise. Hypnosis might be available if you ask for it

Yep. Stronger than those 2 though - as it's slow release, it works over a number of hours. Breakthrough pain is rare.

I have had physio but its not possible now as the bone is crumbling so physio does nothi g for it.

Hypnosis seems a good posibility.

It depends on what's hurting and why, certain pains respond better to some treatments than others. For example nerve pain doesn't respond tonopiate based treatment so iv morphine won't take it away but some anti- depressants or anti-convulsants do hence occipital neuralgia is treated with carbamazepine for example.

Be firm with your GP and tell him you want referring to a pain specialist if he won't demand a second opinion don't let him fob you off.

If you're not allergic to stronger opiates and only being sick as a side effect, ask for cyclizine in addition.

There are alternative methods you can try. Look up Raw Organic Apple Cider and Tibetan Yoga.

They may seem not relevant but the internet if full of their health benefits, including reducing joint pain.

I have knee cartilage issues and was waiting for a second operation. Coincidentally I stopped eating wheat at the time and my knee healed up. I was on a load of pain killers for it but I've been fine for years now

Have you been examined for AVN? It's where parts of the bone are dying due to blood clots usually (other reasons too).

I suffer with this below my knees I can no longer feel anything other than numbness in some areas and pressure pain in the compartments behind the shin.

I have a tens machine and was taking Tramodol which made me sick so stopped it. Now on Amytriptyline at a high dose which seems to take the edge off but nothing else.

Morphine made me sick and itchy so am learning coping mechanisms while I wait to go and have an op abroad.

Women typically hurt more after replacements so you may get fobbed off, but it's worth persisting with if you believe this is worse than just post op pain as something else may be going wrong.

Someone I know had their replacement inserted incorrectly and was left in chronic pain for 18 months until their x Ray was looked at properly.

Depending on the joint can you get an external brace to take some of the weight off?

And possibly a silly question but are you taking paracetamol, most people don't bother when they're given something stronger but paracetamol makes most other painkillers more effective so it's always good to take it.

Make sure you're not on anything containing paracetamol already though

Bad move starting it(I get that now) but the way all the little clicky fuckers all jump on the band wagon is a joke.When you get people messaging you saying can't believe they have gone like this(but won't post that on the thread) I don't want them to fall out with these people,so I get that.

But it all about forum gangs than run things on forum.

If the pains in your joints suck it up it's going to get worse. Try drugs and booze once a week!

If it's your spine fuck the NHS off they are clueless.

Go to a Chiropractor it gets worse for a week after treatment then "hey Presto" you wake up "almost" pain free.

It's that or smack or morphine if you can get it but you won't shit for a week!

If you've had everything going then you know that hospitals have chronic pain units that a GP can refer you to.

Go and see your GP and ask him to refer you. If he won't then ask for the reason why, he may not think you need it.
