[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2179036, member: 475901"] I was tentatively diagnosed by a GP, then eventually referred to the local pain clinic were it was confirmed. Note this is not a generic pain 'course' but a hospital clinic with a consultant and specially trained nurses and physios. They lent me a tens machine for 4 weeks to see if that would help as I also have osteoarthritis. Then put me on pregabalin and upped the dose of my opioid painkiller. A letter to my GP confirmed the max codeine dose I can have and the programme to increase the pregabalin over a few weeks. Try to get a referral as it does help to confirm the diagnosis, finds the best treatment for you, and prevents most medical staff telling you it's nothing. Recently a neurologist told my GP that I probably have CFS (ME) as well. Other than confirming I need to rest more when symptoms flare up there is no further treatment. I went low carb last year, and while I've seen others post low carb helped, and it got my diabetes into remission, it made no difference to my pain or exhaustion. [/QUOTE]
