  • Hello Mj222

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been having some health problems recently. It's understandable that you want to try and resolve these as soon as you can. 

    Have you spoken with your GP about this knee pain that you've been experiencing? It's easy to attribute new aches, pains, and health issues to medication that we may be taking but it's always worth getting these concerns checked out by your GP as well to make sure that there isn't something else that's causing the issue. They should also be able to help with pain management. 

    If you'd like to talk through your concerns with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to offer any advice and support they can. 

    I do hope that things settle and improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
