Living with chronic pain
I have read all the available information of this website, but want to hear from members about their experiences. I am diabetic and am on blood thinners, the research and my doctors say I can’t take anti inflammatory medications. In addition, diabetes uk says that steroids would be horrible for my blood sugar levels. Given this, I can’t see many options (bar paracetamol) that helps manage the pain long term. Are there any other members that are diabetic and on blood thinners on here that can provide any suggestions on what has worked for them? Any help gratefully received.

Hello @in2teaching
Just wondering if there is a Nuffield gym near you and if you know about the free pain management course? I have heard how very helpful it is. https://www.nuffieldhealth.com/about-us/our-impact/healthy-life/joint-pain-programme
Best wishes
