Hi zns
I`m sorry your in so much pain lol go to your Doctor and ask can you be seen by the occupational therapist and they will look around your house to make it sake for you . I got a seat for the shower and its great and handy , they give me a thing for highering up a chair , a the for lifting things if I drop anything and a thing for the bad for getting in and out . Good luck and take care hun .

Update in first post x

Lots of good advice there zns I too attended a pain clinic for 8 weeks and it helped me to be more realistic about what I can do with the pain also it gives you another link if you need help with the GP to get med changes made etc.
Also have acupuncture which I find gives some relief and any little helps, and relaxation techniques I have practiced for years and they are really good. So do try these things, also try meditating for about 20mins a day it helps relax you
Also the OT is a great idea when you are having so many major problems so dont worry about contacting these people
I hope things go well for you and you get the fast tracking it sounds you need
Will be thinking of you good luck

Thank you, I would be willing to try the accupuncture and so on. Will give these codeine & paracetamol ago and go from there. I probably should have gone into more details with the GP than I did but I couldnt face ending up in tears. x
