    Hi Charley,

    I too have been to a pain management clinic and I have had exactly the same problems and treatments. I have to say the acupuncture worked so well that I am into my 4th year of regular cycles of it. Seeing a councillor/ psychologist was probably the best thing for me though. My husband came in to some sessions and it helped us to understand both the cycle of pain and how to avoid making a ad situation worse, but also how to cope with the effects of pain in day to day life.

    congratulations and I genuinely hope you get as much from your new care as I did. 

    Take care Lisa

    That's brilliant !

    My hospitals pain team were rubbish. They had no idea about my illness. They said there was no such thing as exercise intolerance and that i was just pushing myself too hard. The horrendous vise grip pain i get all the way to my finger tips was just cramps that everyone gets after exercise ( absolutely not true !) i actually ended up doing a lot less than i could at the start.

    Its great that your having a positive experience, i hope you achieve pain management x
