    Hi @Helenmeadley23.
    I'm so sorry to hear about the amount of pain you're in. I don't know if it'll be of use to you, but you're welcome to take a look at these tips for managing pain during isolation.

    In the meantime, you're very welcome here, so please don't be shy about jumping in and speaking with us in our virtual coffee lounge.
