I intend to see my GP in a couple of weeks to try and sort out better treatment for my back pain which is making life very difficult. If I need to walk any distance I must use two sticks, and then my shoulders ache from the pressure I put on the sticks. I know some of you have the same problem, and would like to have some idea of other treatments than co-codamol, to ask the doctor about. Can you help, please.

I have osteoporosis in most part that you can have it in your body, yes its very painfully.

I have to go to doctors and have tried many tablets but never found and that have worked very well or for to long.

I know its pain full but try keep moving best you can as i have found its better and hospital said i was doing right thing.

It helps to know people who know what the pain can be like.

Hope you find the right tablets that will help you soon.
