Many of us have experienced/experience pain in different degrees, it is a by product of Spinal Cord Injury that not many are lucky enough to not experience. I am going to post a thread for each type of pain that is experienced and I would really appreciate it if members can post a reply of what you have found to be effective in some way.
Of course every individual is different and what works for one may not work for another but at least there is a reference here that can be considered and suggested to a doctor. So please post up what works for you but remember we are looking at pain medication for the longer term pain that is described as Chronic pain.
Chronic pain is pain that is experienced for at least several months an injury. , In spinal cord injury, it seldom goes away because the root cause is still there although surgery often alleviates the initial trauma.
I consider myself fortunate because at this moment, the pain that I experience is manageable. I don't need extensive pain relief or management so I take
Ibrufen and paracetamol at intervals inbetween each other ( as prescribed by my consultant)., this combination seems very effective for the lower grade pain.
Please share guys, lets make this a great 'go to ' resource for others 
PS: We will do Nerve pain on a different thread.
