Sick of being In pain

bondy104

Hi everyone I'm not new to arthritis I've had it for years, in my neck. I've now been told it's in both hips, left knee and sponylosis at the bottom of my spine. I'm walking with a limp now as I've a bulging disc.

I just wondered if anyone had advice on pain management I'm so down at the minute with not sleeping and getting no break from this constant pain.

I’m so sorry you are troubled in this way. Pain is so very wearying isn’t it? I hope the link above helps you.

I suggest you do ask for something that will bring pain relief in the night…there are some pain killers such as amytriptaline (?) spelling which are sedative too.

I use a low does one when I’ve had some bad nights.
