I am in constant pain from Fibromyalgia and have ended up in a wheelchair due to fractures in back that doctors can do nothing for my medication is doing nothing for me either.

Many thanks ??
Yes I have ended up in the same mess going from a healthy adult to a wheelchair user 24/7.
The Meds that I am talking are at max with very very little effect nowadays.

Hi annette79 I have osteo arthritis and cervical spondylosis amongst other things. I am in a lot of pain and struggle to walk a lot of the time. I am currently waiting to see if I have ms. I was told a while ago it was me but now I am seeing a different doctor and he is not sure as there is such a lot of symptoms that are similar in both me and ms.
