@sandy6151 hi there. You’re on Oramorph and you’re still in pain - wow! I wouldn’t like to advise anything other than get back to your doctor, phone 101 for advice.  Every best wish.

Hello @sandy6151 and a warm welcome to our community. How are things this morning?

Blimey, it sounds like you've been through quite an ordeal.  I can't begin to imagine the pain you describe    I'm guessing that you have your Oramorph reviewed by a care practitioner/GP?  Have you told them that it's not helping and have they suggested any alternatives or different treatments you could explore?  Maybe a referral to a pain clinic would help?

This NHS webpage gives more information on 'How to get NHS help if you're in pain'.  And there are different support groups/organisations who specialise in chronic pain that might be able to offer more informed advice:

• Action on Pain
  

• British Pain Society

• Pain Concern

• PainSupport

I'm so sorry we can't do more to alleviate what you're going through.  Chronic pain takes both a physical and emotional toll, how is your mood holding up through all this?  

Just to let you know, I've amended the title of your thread to help others spot it and moved it to our 'Dealing with chronic pain' category.  I hope today is as good as can be for you.  Take care and please know you can vent to us anytime.
