Help Hi All
I have only just found out about and joined this site. I'm not sure if this is where I should be I hsve had chronic pain for around 18 months now. It began with vulvodynia, which was incredibly painful but seems to be under control with gabapentin. Now I have developed severe and chronic Achilles tendonitis in both ankles. My Dr is useless and will not refer me for any scans. I hsve had thyroid checked and am on meds for this. There are painful lumps on both my ankles which are very tender to touch. The pain feels like someone is burning the skin off my heels. I am on multiple pain meds, but nothing helps. I was referred to the local Pain Clinic, where I have now been given a 9 week course in exercise and pain management. It may help, but I really think I need further investigations done. I'm really hoping that someone within your community may have had similar experiences to mine. I'm not looking for a miracle, just want to find out what this might be and how to treat/manage it if possible. BTW I am in the UK. I have a son with autism and I research the biomed side of this. I have seen so many similarities between the physical stuff in autism and myself. Sorry, I have gone on a bit too much I just want to chat with others in the same situation.]
