Not yet diagnosed

okmick

Hi , my name is Michael I have been living with various degrees of pain in my feet and one knee for about 6years . I have blood test and x ray booked for this week so hopefully will get A diagnosis as pain is becoming unbearable . Having to take time off work now as I have a manual job in flood defence . I am taking 30mg Co-Codamol it takes the edge off the pain but understand it can be quite addictive . Hopefully with a diagnosis can start a better form of treatment . Will post how I get on this week.
