Pain meds
Hi everyone,
I am currently taking daily, 8 x 500mg Paracetamol, 8 x 30mg Dihydrocodeine, 2 x 300mg Pregabalin, 4 x 10mg Nortriptyline and wear a 52.5mcg/hr Buprenorphine patch. I then have 5ml/10mg Oramorph for breakthrough pain, although the pain is always breaking through!
I have twice in the past attended A&E (ER) when I couldn't take anymore and they have given me diamorphine, which helps. I don't like going to A&E because I know they are already very over worked and I feel like I am wasting their time. Also when I feel that bad I just want to curl up at home.
Can you get diamorphine on prescription for when im in stupid amounts of pain?
I was down to have a spinal cord simulator trial in August but I backed out as I have concerns and it honestly scares me!
