Hi. I was doing well on 25mg but last 2 days lots of pain back.

Have been great after each increase whether it's days or weeks but then 50 per cent of pain returns.

I know my doc won't want to increase more, & I am having some further investigations but this last period of wellness has barely lasted a week.

Thanks in advance. Smiling though 😀

    Hi Sars77

    I think you need to move to Berkshire

    We don't have long waiting lists. You can get an MRI  or a CT scan or anything that is needed to make the correct diagnoses .  Make a nuisance of yourself. Good luck 😊
