Back Pain

So sorry you are having this awful pain SG007. It is good that you have been scanned and are due to see the onco soon. In the meantime could you ring your specialist nurse or GP to be some proper pain relief? Sending hugs 

Hi SG007

Sorry to hear your in such pain , Your oncologist should have the radiologist report available. Certainly my mum’s scans makes note of non cancer issues but I am not sure if that is standard practice or not . But I completely agree with seaspirit44 you definitely need that level of pain assessed by a Dr and the appropriate care given .

The NHS has pain clinics to assist if they can’t get on top of it .

Take care ,

Thanks guys x

I’m taking paracetamol, Dihydrocodein, and diazepam but nothing seems to be touching it this time. I’m trying to stretch out in bed and do some gentle exercises to ease it out but it’s so painful. Even just laying flat on my back I can feel it spasming.

My poor mum is getting really distressed cause she’s not strong enough to help me up to get to the bathroom. I look like a tortoise trying to right itself. It be comical if it wasn’t so bloody painful! :) 

You’re both right I need to have a chat again with my doctor to see what else we can do, as the bouts are happening more frequently.

It’s so frustrating, I don’t what to be laid up in bed, when I should be making the most of my time.

Thanks for listening

You also might want to have a chat with an occupational therapist as there is good equipment to help come to a seated position from lying . Whilst you are on the phone to your Gp you might like to ask for an assessment as it’s quite easy to solve that one ! 
Take care ,
