Most people on here say they have good and bad days with pain.. i just wondered what is your experience ie for how many days in a row do u have pain ?

And how long is the gap before it becomes bad again.

Mine used to be a couple of bad days, then ok for a bit, but lately the bad seems to last

anythng up to a week without any respite.

Love to hear your experiences.

    hi adrian, in answer to your question, everyone is different. i have been suffering for the past 7weeks with barely any respite, only hours at a time unfortunately. at the beginning i had only a couple of days of pain and days free of pain. now it is weeks of pain and only days free of pain. as you know it is progressive and the longer you have it the worse the symptoms are. are you under a pain clinic, if not you should be check with your gp. chris xx

    thanks Chris. Re pain clinic, not been to one, do they just dish drugs out ?

    I can only take paracetomol due to heart problems.

    hi adrian, no they do alternative treatments as well. such as acupuncture, injections, hydrotherapy,massage, and much more. get your gp to refer you, you might be pleasantly suprised. good luck and let us know how you go. bye for now chris xx
