Hi ,
i went to the pain clinic as the painkillers my doc prescribed arent helping me with my pain.. (codeine phosphate 60mg) and they didnt give me anything..
(makes me sound addicted and i am so not... i only take when needed and can go days without)
all they offer is relaxation and "chi kung" and advice on how to live with your pain...
i dont wanna live with my pain i just need something to take it away !
i can handle it during the day but im desperate at night! its just too much and i dont sleep well because of it..
have you been to the pain clinic? can anyone share their experiences?
sorry if my message seems sharp/cold/nasty im in so much pain and im so tired and ive been in a bad mood for the past 10years
thank you xxxx

Many years ago I too went to a pain clinic and found this experience as if the doctors had given upon me and I had to deal with the pains on my own. As years have gone on and the pains have come and gone and returned, I have learnt how to live with my pains and also through my recent experiences. Once I was daignosed with fibro in Aug 2014 after 20yrs of not knowing, I seeked some help from a therapist that helped me through CBT ( Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and it's made me more of a positive person with my daily activites and my thought process. It's part of a mindfulness of the thought process and how one can deal with situations in more of a positive and calm manner. I reccomend this to anyone and will say to just give it a try.
Gentle hugs x

GP had prescribed co codemol, which was fine but meant I couldn't take paracetamol as well. Then quite by accident, I found I was better with Tramadol, I'd been prescribed it whilst waiting for my gallbladder to be removed. I try to take as few painkillers as possible, paracetamol for general use and the Tramadol only at night and only if I'm very bad, only taken once in the last month.
My GP is happy prescribing it, as I'm taking so little, sometimes I think the knowledge that it's available is enough, bit like a security blanket.
