Evening all, in early 2008, I had a fall, which resulted in me looking to spend the rest of my life with back pain. From the outset, I was given painkillers, Co-codamol, Di-hydrocodeine, Pregabalin, Gabapentin, Tramadol and Fentanyl patches, the only thing that worked for me was Tramadol, but, in the last year, I'm getting less and less relief. I wasn't on the Fentanyl very long, as they made me a bit aggressive and with having two kid under 10, it was a easy decision to stop taking them and go back onto Tramadol.
I'm at the point now, were, on some days, I'm having to take the prescribed amount of 8 per day, with no relief at all. It's causing me a great deal of anguish and at times I cannot function.
My personal life is dire and my relationship is suffering, the pain is so bad, I cannot cope with the attention my loving girlfriend is showing me. I know it's hurting her and a great disappointment to me as I cannot perform, I even suffer great pain during ejaculation and going for a pee.
Does anyone else have the same issues?
Ironically, if anyone else is watching 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown at this time, I've just got a 7 letter word, opiates!
