Savella for pain relief?
Posted , 8 users are following.
Has anybody heard of this drug and is it available in the UK? I have been searching frantically for some kind of pain relief that will work. The normal stuff, co-codamol, tramadol etc is just doing nothing now and I am only taking it cos I am now addicted. I was given a weeks supply of prednisolone recently and really did feel good! I got quite excited with the prospect that I may be able to return to work and get my own life back! But when I went to see GP and asked for some more,she refused saying its not a long term solution and would actually cause allkinds of other problems. Well, I am gutted, my hip pain has come back with a vengeance and I am lying here in tears again with the pain. After feeling so good just two days ago I really dont know how I am going to cope right now, as I am feeling very low again. I came across this Savella used for fibro and it apparently has worked wonders. Is there anything along the lines of prednisolone that doesnt have the long term complications? I am feeling pretty desperate again!

Read this leaflet on RA and see whether it sounds like you at all.
I agree with Tina, that you should push your doctor and tell him/her that you are finding the pain unbearable.
Can you see another GP in your practice?

I just was reading about Savella i would prefer trying too
i am just so desparete rest less with this ongoing pain
as sam e than you my hips at night it is strainge because i have more
than one problem which the fibromayolgia makes 1000 times whorse
like disc buldge and i tought that been treated i have less pain i had abou 6 months when i had my 6 injection in my back i could breaf most of the times withoutb pain and i did not have the hips pain night...but now after 1 year
it is much more evry they i do not even mind being a gunee pig just find somthing relase it every minutes pain.......stress i would not be just because of this pain...
I do not know how to survive this condition yes sometime couple hrs i fell myself again does not long even a day thinking what do with my life know and show working parents to my girls.I am on buscophan morhium patch 10 mg a week and evry each day 8 tramadol 2x esampramazol 3x apercap 1x or more cyzlezine and sometime dizapam and naproxeen and buscopan....just to take the edge of my pain ye and i can walk heavily so week a little bit get up hardly from bed......or sitting......I hope they will find a suitable medizine to us.
I just was thinking my appontment to CBT 1st time after i am sick 3 yrs if they cannot do right now nothing I just order the medicine from AMERICA and see if is working.
plus that happend my hemoglobin went to 6 i am so anemic no even heavly bleeding nothing with no reason GP give me 23 monthjs iron supplament which is makes me so ill my tummy cramping concipated nearly vomiting....
Ithink he just should write to the hospital to check me fimromayolgia and anemic is different soupuse to be so they should give me blood. I hope i am not blleeding inside slowkly somewhere.
If you got ideas which medicine worked for you i am waiting the list to try it.
I tried some gabipentin did not work another 2 cannot remember one was for depression and slepeeng which knock me aout 5pm just fall sleep like a coma and could not sllep at night...
that wehere i am standing.
i just can take 3 dizapam which i cannot evryday and i fall sleep all day what about my children.............
I do not wanted to be mental or somthing we know how is this pain i cannot controll it as much i am trying as much is hurt.
if i would not have fibromayolgia with my another condition i could manage it.
maybe i should have the injection again.... but only if they give anastesia doble dose!
