It is hard to keep going when the pain is with me 24/7. Speaking about this with you all however does give me hope that eventually there is a solution. In my visit to the GP I am going to ask about medicinal marihuana, anyone have experience of this treatment?
You shouldn't have to live with pain. Tell them its making your life a misery. Morphine is the ultimate pain killer, but to be used with care. Ideally they should treat the cause. Getting more mobile helped my back issues, swimming was ideal, or some sort aquarobics/gentle water exercise if you can manage it. The Dr maybe even able to prescribe it. https://www.fhft.nhs.uk/services/phy...se%20tolerance.
