Hi WELCOME to the forum.

I don't know what to advise you about trying to control the pain, I think you and your doctor are doing all you can at the moment. Could you go to A&E maybe that would get you seen quicker, if you aren't sleeping or eating it will effect your general health and they may be able to do something for you quicker than waiting on the list. They may be able to give you something stronger to take short term.

I understand how this much pain nearly sends you out of your mind, I don't know if a warm or cold pack might help you if you held it to yoru cheeks where the pain is. I know it sounds stupid but I found a cold pack helped calm my pain down, I even took to sleeping on a cold water bottle at night. I don't know if it would help but it can't hurt if cold doesn't give a bit or relief try a warm pack.

I hope you get something done soon, all the best to you

Hello, sorry to hear you are in such pain I know what it's like and I too never have much joy with oramorph, just wondered if prescribed sleeping tablets may help just to get you a few hours sleep??
i hope you get some help soon
best of luck

orazpol= ?
Oramorph is a narcotic and if you are having nausea with it then talk with your doctor about odansetron which is highly effective.
