Any suggestions as to help pain in a shoulder tumour. I have stage 4 cancer, and the pain is now non stop. I have tried most medicines, morphines, naproxen, patches, etc. Thanks.
It is rotten being in constant pain. Pain medicine only ever gives partial relief at doses where you can still function normally. I have constant low level pain due to bone mets to spine and left shoulder which has a fracture due to cancer. I never get a good nights sleep. I went to classes for relaxation and meditation ( this is not like me at all Im usually very dismissive of these) i was taught a technique to meditate and concentrate on the site of the pain then imagine transferring that pain to just outside your body, with practice it does work to an extent. Ask about this at the pain clinic it may not be for you but it is worth a try.
