I know it sounds crazy but what about these pain management clinics that use other strategies to manage your pain levels.

Once again I’m not a doctor and I’d never suggest coming straight off anything you would need to do it gradually. I understand about drinking when I’m low I think wine will help. It usually doesn’t. Of course I don’t suppose you are meant to drink on these drugs either!!

I think you seem a little more positive which I’m really pleased to hear. I think it’s great you are in touch with a pelvic physio. Maybe even just talking to her is part of the process and I’m hoping in time you can see if she can do some gentle work with you. Mine has been so kind and patient.
