Help for pain

I know how you feel, I have widespread OA and associated problems and am in constant pain despite being on morphine; 2-3 hours kip a night; use crutches indoors and a powered wheelchair elsewhere. Regrettably people will tell you that there is nothing which totally gets rid of the pain, merely knock the edge off. I often scream or swear or both with the pain but luckily I live on my own with my cat and she is used to it. Find something that you like doing to help distract you from the pain, it is not easy.

Hi Sullee,
I also have osteoarthritis in my hips. I take Anadin joint pain/co codemol and also take vitamin D, turmeric, cod liver oil. I have just found this '5kind Hemp Active Gel' which I use in the morning and evening, I have only just started to use it but it seems to ease the pain. I have also found this 'Escape Pain' which is a 6 week exercise course.
I hope some of this is helpful to you.
Take care

Just wanted to offer sympathy, I can relate to everything you say and am pretty close behind you (apart from the testicles issue that is 😁). Mine just gets worse every day. I’m dreading going back to work once the world gets going again. It’s got so bad I can’t do the exercises my physio has recommended, I do my best to ignore it and get on with life as best I can, and try to inject a bit of joy into each day to make the suffering in getting out of the house worthwhile, it really is pants though
