Hi Catlady, Thank you, ive had all you've mentioned above, except the voltaren emulgel, will give it a go. Result from the MRI showed I had 2 slipped disc, L4 and L5, and from that I was told, although they were damaged they weren't bad enough for a operation, which I then asked so why am I in constant daily pain when I do anything, the doctor told me that the MRI couldn't see into my nerves so he could`nt know what it was doing to my nerves, and that everyone was different with the pain from slipped disc`s etc. They have sent me for the cortisone injection, ive had acupuncture, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, medication, (this either makes me feel sick or drowsy, which I don't want to be, so don't take as I should, and I had an unexplained fit which I think was from one of the pain killers. Ive been on a pain management course, which after that they said the end of the road, so I learn to live with it, and manage it by stopping and starting, etc etc, too long to tell everything, but it does effect my nerves in my muscles in my legs too, causing a soreness as well as the pain. My ankle, well I was told after my treatment and again pain coming back etc and going that its left me with arthritis in it, etc...always said I was odd....
Im be fine though, its something I do put up with, but does get me down at times, Thank you for helping Catlady, means a lot to me.
kind regards Vicky
