I take 2 cocodamol 30mg/500mg every morning with breakfast, if I am good I will take two more at lunchtime or early afternoon. However when I am bad like today I think at lunchtime I'm not in pain so don't take any had a meeting at work about returning at the end of the month when I get back in pain but not too bad so don't take cocodamol until 8:30pm. Now sat up in bed wishing I had taken them earlier in the day so ,I might not be in so much pain now

Thanks I did that a couple of times before for meds I had to take at certain times. The problem here is not remembering to take them it's more I'm not in pain at the moment or the pain isn't too bad and thinking I can manage without them this is I part due to the nice side effect of constipation2 -
Would acupuncture help with pain relief? I am finding it helpful in keeping me upright, and minimal use of pain meds. I started once a week a year ago, and now go every 7-10 days. It doesn't cure all ills, but it is such a big help with my pain issues.1

Not tried it for my arthritis. Had it yrs ago for frozen shoulder when I had physio. I will give it some thought2

Acupuncture has helped me a lot with the mental side of pain. It really makes me feel more positive ..4

Acupuncture is wonderful and decreased my med intake! However, at the time I did have to drive home, which tenses me up no matter what, so my advice is to have a driver so you can reap the benefits longer!! Hugs, CJ1
