Starting to get so down with being in constant back pain. I have had so many different types of painkiller which after a few days do nothing. Even worse my GP more or less said there is nothing they can do i have to learn to live with it. I have tried various types of exercise, done physio, been to gym and had spinal nerve block injection but still it gets worse. Now i have pain down the front of my thigh when walking and i know my gait is all wrong and my knees now hurt. Dread to think what i will be like in a few years time. I persevere with walking and bowling and pottering in the garden but some days i just want to give up and just sit but i know that is sooo bad for you. Never throught i would be like this as i was so pro active with my health and physcial well being, running, cycling, aerobics and generally on the go all the time. dont want to sound sorry for myself but some days it just gets too much to bear!!!

I too suffer with continual pain but mine is because of metastastic breast cancer which translates to metastases on my spine. That pain is reasonably under control with buprenorphine patches but now I have terrible pain down my left side in the rib area and nothing is touching it. I am having a bone scan tomorrow so that may show something new but I wont get the results until I see the oncologist on the 13th. The thought of having to hang around the hospital for hours while the radioactive dye moves round my body with this pain is awful. I hope you get some respite from your pain soon.
