Well, the best thing I've found is acupuncture, but I just can't afford it on a regular (weekly) basis, which is what I think I'd need. But I know it works, and it's also been discovered why it works!
Danni:
Tramadol is fantastic... especially the highs ;) Got a few left from when I had gallstones (they didn't do much for the pain, but it meant I wasn't in A+E every day... just twice a week ;)) They make me feel like life is actually worth living :P
laeshanin:
Ugh, gallstones... Had those and they were the worst pain I've ever had to endure. I had dihydocodeine, which is a lovely, spacey drug that sends you off into la-la-land. Unfortunately, when I had mine out they didn't use keyhole surgery and even now I look like the surgeons used a wood chisel and hammer to get in there and do the removal. ;D
Z.Z. - acupuncture is good, no doubt about that. I know that some G.P.'s refer their patients and it can be available on the NHS in some areas. I take it you don't live in one of those though?
Danni:
Completely agree with you on the pain... and it seems my GP likes Tramadol, as two family members (with the same GP) also got it :P
Dihydrocodeine never did anything for me in the past, but that might have been because I was on a low dose :P

I don't know, I've never actually asked my GP, but I just might do that.
I agree that dihydracodeine is good for pain. After I had an operation a couple of months ago for a trapped nerve in my elbow, I was given them, and they definitely deaden the pain, but then I read the insert in the packet which warned against them if you have a thyroid problem (which I do) and it seemed to explain why when I take them I just want to sleep all the time. I've still got a few Co-proxamols left, and I take them when the pain is really bad, but once they've gone it'll be ordinary paracetemol or nothing - and ordinary paracetemol are useless! Oh well, no doubt they'll soon come up with a replacement.......
