Ask for a referral to a pain clinic, they can then help you try out different types of pain relief such as drugs, tens machines etc, to create a tailored program that suits you. This can come with other co-disorders, so it is necessary to separate what pain is due to WMSM and which is due to these other conditions. WMSN is often felt as a sharper pain than, for example, arthritis where the body is attacking the cartilage instead of the the nerves. This allows each type of pain to be dealt with, for a better cumulative result.
