[QUOTE="kirstyboo79, post: 1879188, member: 175054"] Agh, it's painful, I hope you're hanging in there. I have a torn disc in my lumbar spine so fairly similar symptoms. Have had it since 2009, am on MST, Oramorph, gabapentin, and amitriptyline. Also use cannabis (illegally). Have tried physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, mindful meditation, body scanning. A mixture of those last two, plus my meds, gets me through - but sometimes the pain is unbearable and that's just a ****** fact. The thing to hold onto is that it always passes eventually. The trick is to make the bad times shorter, and get the good times to last longer. It took me about 4yrs to start to believe that was possible. I've also had to shut out all the questions and good intentioned suggestions, and just go through it. Painsomnia is sometimes a *****, and when I have really bad pain it can make me an absolute monster, especially if I'm hangry at the same time! Try to get a good support network around you, and let them know what you need. I hope you get through it relatively quickly and are able to have a big happy smile on your face soon. [/QUOTE]
