Oooh, yes, the chronic pain site., Forgot about that. thanks.

So far;
aspirin/diclofenac give me indegestion and heartburn.
paracetomol doesn't touch the sides.
tramadol 50mg good for short time but makes me sleepy.
panadeine forte (codeine 30mg) good for a night's sleep
endone good but foggy at work.

I keep on top of things with one tramadol and one codeine and work through the tiredness.

Alternative things are all very well but not possible when I'm IN work. Lots of walking, lots of thinking on my feet. Heat/cold packs are good but not practical. I stretch often.
I also can't show anyone I'm struggling as I could very well lose my job if I do.

Thanks for your help. I should have mentioned all this in my first post...
