Well I use the trains and tube to and from work. But shopping and other things are by car/bike.
John, I’m currently on Tramadol, Diclofenac, and Diazepam. It’s only just controlling the pain not eliminating it. Getting sick of taking pills at the moment, but without them I can hardly walk.
Still better than the Amitriptyline they stuck me on, as that caused severe sweating, hallucinations and insomnia (which I thought was great as it is used to treat sleeplessness!?!)
I’m beginning to feel that way. Haven’t been on a bike now for 5 or 6 weeks, and I can’t see myself getting on one for a while to come.
Well before I go to the knackers yard I have an urgent priority referral now. Which doesn’t inspire me with much confidence that it is going to be a simple fix. But I sincerely hope that it is.
Exercise and loose the weight he says! :rolleyes: I can hardly walk when the meds start to wear off, I shuffle like an old man, and after a hundred yards my feet have gone completely numb.
As it is I have lost 22lbs so far this year. And there is more lose still.
It may not be an immediate fix, but in the short term your referral may help them find a better way to control the pain more effectively without you being drugged up to the eyeballs. Best of luck mate.
