Hi @Outoftime2020 how are you getting on?
I understand you are in constant pain from rheumatoid arthritis and take co-codamol as a way of coping with this. How can we help you?
There is some good information on managing pain on our web site that might be of some help:
It may well be worth exploring getting a referral to a pain management specialist through your GP.
Since you have had such long experience, what have you found that works best for you?

Nice to meet you @Outoftime2020
I am quite concerned that you have had rheumatoid arthritis for 30 years and are only on Co-codamol for it. Have you ever 'seen anyone' about it other than your GP? If it's rheumatoid arthritis I would have thought you would have seen a rheumatologist at least once and would be within your rights to ask to see one.
Brymor's suggestion about referral to pain management (pain clinic) might be a good way forwards for you too.
Take care
