    Hi,
    We are not medically trained here so won't be able to give you any medical advice. I'd advise you to speak to your GP if the pain isn't easing.

    Hi @snaggletooth

    Welcome to Scope's forum. It is great to see you have joined us. Thanks for finding the courage to reach out to us for support. I always appreciate how much courage it must take to reach out for support.

    I am afraid @poppy123456 is right in that we don't provide medical advice here at Scope so you would need to speak to your GP or another medical professional. However, I did just want to say sorry that you are struggling. 

    I hope things get better for you soon but we are always here for you and listening to you if you need anything!  :)
