To live in pain every day and night is horrendous. Being older, and suffering pain, is incredibly exhausting . I am lucky. I only have pain, quite bad on my hip and groin, when I stand up and walk. Therefore I know what it is not to have any pain when I sit or lie down in bed. The pain has made me a prisoner in my room. I go to medical appointments when my daughter takes me and I use a "Rollator" to go along. I have no suggestions for anyone in pain. I have tried so many gels and ointments...and pills...pain killers. None of them work. I am on my own most of the day, and sleep a lot. At least when I am a sleep I can forget my pains. But I am a believer and find much comfort in my faith. I try to have a good diet, and do take some vitamins and Omega 3 fish oil tablets everyday. Eat lots of salmon and sardines with salads in extra virgin olive oil, cider vinegar....and bananas....Oats for breakfast...One can only try and hope it works...I know what pain is and feel so sorry I cannot help. gmx
