(Non-Autism-related) Physical Ailments

Desmond79

Whenever I get up or down, my left butt-cheek hurts badly. It's so painful, I struggle to even tie my shoelaces. Also, whenever I get up and start to walk, I feel like I'm going to faint.

I called the out-of-hours surgery last night, and the triage nurse on the call said, "Take Ibuprofens along with your Paracetamols, and call your GP on Monday morning!"

I've had issues with low blood pressure before; explanation for the light-headedness. But I fear that I also have nerve pain.

  • I agree with '871 - I'm living with a lot of pain right now and I've found 1000mg of paracetamol every 6 hours is helping a lot.    The only problem is it takes up to 1 hour for them to take effect - until a gentle disjointed / numbness 'comfort' occurs at the point of pain.     Watch out for stomach damage - maybe get some gaviscon too.

    I find heat works well too. Plus Ibuprofen and Paracetamol mixed together. Not once have I ever been offered prescription pain killers even when I cant walk. Its like the Docs think I am lying. 

    My mum was told she had a bad shoulder by her doc - three weeks later she was dead - aggressive cancer. It just shows that its impossible to communicate with a GP if youre on the spectrum. I gave up when I was 13 - I'm 47 now - lol 

    Dovs are only ood for run of the mill stuff like obvious trauma injury or usual illness such as flu.

    Good news;

    I am able to heal the sciatic pain by rubbing my lower back using a soup ladle. My complementary therapist suggested that, and it works a treat.

    I don't need a GP Consultation after all. :D
