Currently experiencing what I can only describe as an 'attack' of pain... it's happening more frequently, usually waking me in the night. It's 4am 
Had Dihydracodiene only a couple hours ago, but still woke like this. Took paracetamol about 40 mins ago and have just taken ibuprofen with a yoghurt drink about 10 mins ago. It's only just starting to ease off. The usual pain, which can be bad enough in itself, is like a 'toothache' sort of pain, but when this happens it's combined with a kind of 'salt in a wound' sort of pain and it is excruciating. I honestly wonder whether to go a+e when this kicks in, but chances are it would have faded by the time I actually got seen.
Has anyone else had to deal with this pre treatment?
