I'm very sad to hear that Martin. An awful decision to have to make. If you're serious, then you could both go to Dignitas, who facilitate such things and have people who can guide you through the legalities of such a decision.
 That way you could be together at the painless end. You're a brave man to seriously contemplate such a thing.

Is it worth finding out if the UK can offer more effective treatment?  Would cannabis help with the pain?

I've read cannabis is very good for arthritis, maybe you could get help in Spain Martin and I think it's legal to grow your own.

Well your advice isn't to be sniffed at.

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

I suffer the same pain & like you use a "Rollator" to help me get about.
I find that when my wife massages my affected hip with Lavender "Essential Oil" the pain disappears & iget a good pain free night's sleep.

In certain areas of the UK you can go to pain clinics which help you cope.

Mick607... For what it's worth I suffered Hip Arthritis.  I took pills had remedial massage nothing helped...but what did help was eventually taking
Glucosamine and MSM. I still take and can walk well with no pain, it's still good.  Reckon it took 6 months effect to kick in, Hip replacement need faded and it gradually improved more.  To this day I still take the supplements religiously and have no pain whatsoever, I can walk wherever I wish.

Firenze. I heard of Glucosamine, and will follow. But what is: MSM? Please?   Hot water bottles help a bit. Thank you. gmx

GrannyMoss ...MSM is to be found in health food shops, it's a compound includes sulphur.  I've taken it since the year 2000 when I read about its properties.  I did query the Dr. As I take heart medication, google it!
