Hi Technical guru. Good to hear that any reoccurrence has been ruled out but sorry to hear that you’re in pain. Have you tried ringing the support desk on the number below? Or maybe you could post in the Ask a Nurse section?

Take care

Just wondered if you have read this article ?

I think if it involves nerve tethering you might like to think about getting referred to a chronic pain clinic . They are often ran by anaesthetists and can look into the root cause of the pain but also the best ways to manage it .

I honestly think it would be hard to achieve that yourself . My dad had a nerve injury following surgery and they did help him. This is a recognised problem . Your GP should also be able to start helping you at one level .

Hope you get some relief soon .
