Get in touch with you local hospice. I did, and my GP and cancer team are happy about their expertise.

I’m full of metastasises in the bones. Hips, ribs and the worse ones are in the thoracic region of my spine. This causes me lots of pain.

I have paracetamol (8/day) gabapentin (200mg/3 times a day) morphine slow release capsules (10mg twice a day) codeine (15mg 4/day) and oral morphine (10ml at 5mls up to 6/day) as needed.

This is at the moment low doses because my back pain has only been out of control for a month or ) weeks.

The pain nurse at the hospice is regularly checking my situation and writes letters to my GP to advise of any changes.

Get ahead of the pain and stay ahead of the pain with expert help 24/7. Don’t be in pain, you don’t need to be.

Any questions?
