    Hi Hills31 and welcome.

    Would you care to share some more information about your condition and what if anything you are doing/taking to try and cope?

    If members know a bit more about you they might be able to offer up some more targeted advice or help.

    Thanks,

    jon

    I agree with @jonr . My gut feeling is to ask your GP or pharmacist. They can advise on what's suitable for you and any potential interactions.

    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Hi Jon

    Thank you

    I am seeing the physio every 3weeks .

    I have been taking Zapain and it has helped with the pain.

    I know it will be a long term thing 🥲

    Take care

    Hills
