Been suffering flare up for just about a week now, pains that bad the co-codamol and dihydracodiene aint working, phoned GP and hes giving me tramadol to take with the co-codamol and if that doesnt help am moving up to morphine. Have got flu like symptoms but without the runny nose and snot, just aching all over, cant stand on my feet for any length of time and getting pretty fed up, yet again. Sorry rant over. :sad:

pain is vile and the art to it (I was told!) is to get AHEAD of the pain. This means you keep taking your pain meds regularly. I was told at the time to take the anti-inflams then two hours later the pain meds and so on.
Now I am on patches which are a great help as they take the edge off it all the time. Mine are not morphine patches they are butrans which is synthetic and they have given me my life back as l dont have to constaantl think about what meds and when and have that BURST of medication which used to make me queasy followed by the NEED for them before they are due!
I hope the doc helps you - have you tried a pain clinic??

I like your attitude....still have lots of damage to do
This does sound like a bad flare and hopefully hopefully soon it will back off a bit and you can get some respite from it...if it doesn't though you take what you need to (so long as you dont overdose of course!!!)
