I have written to Skip Baker, President for the American Society for Action on Pain to see if he has any contacts in Northern Ireland for adequate pain medication for you. He is still battling here in America for us to receive proper narcotic pain medication, but perhaps he can help. The site is very informative regarding proper pain medication, so you may just like to visit the site for information. http://www.widomaker.com/~skipb/panic.html
I hope that you are feeling better today and are somewhat more comfortable.
