I am in a lot of pain. Surgery in February. Any ideas on pain management
There’s lots of info in the Newbies Guide Section, in a post titled ‘ES Info- Treatment’. If you have nerve pain there are medications which can help, anticonvulsants & antidepressants like Gabapentin, Amitriptyline or Nortriptyline. Some members have had good results with lidocaine & steroid injections into the tonsillar region, often done under ultrasound, but it doesn’t always help. Heat or ice can help, & also being aware of your posture, & sleeping part upright can help too. One member found lidocaine patches helped, & muscle relaxers can sometimes help.
Hope you can find something which works for you, & that your surgery is sucessful.
Looking back at 2019 one of my biggest blessings was this platform and all of the amazing people I have met here. Thank you for sharing your hopes and suffering with me - we are all in this mess of life together and thankfully so! No way i could do it alone 
May 2020 bring good health and healing for all 
Peace and all good

I agree with JustBreathe! The support here is amazing. I am not sure how I would have gotten through this without the wonderful, supportive group.
I wish ES sufferers and your families all the best for good health, happiness and peace for 2020 and the years to come.
