Throat cancer

I went for another biopsy in my ulcer in my mouth to be told there is no cancer there or anywhere where it once was, but it's been 5 month I've had ear pain which is so bad that I can't sleep. Drs have given me everything from morphine patches to oxycodone yet nothing takes the pain away, I've been stuck in bed for 3 weeks can anyone suggest another pain relief, it's like the drs don't care yet I'm suffering really bad 

  • Hello Lynlou, and thank you for getting back to us. I'm so sorry that you are still having this pain.

    As I said previously we are unable to suggest medications, but please do discuss these pains with your team as they are the only ones who can assess and decide what happens next. They are also the only ones who could refer you into a specialist pain team.

    Take care Lynlou, you may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040, 9am till 5pm, Monday to Friday.

    Sarah.
