Old fractures and breaks.

This may be border line medical thread, if so sorry MODs and then delete if you must.

But with the weather changing my old fracture/break is playing up. As in agonisingly painful playing up!
It's across my cheek bone over my sinus (I think), so not sure if this makes it worse for feeling pressure changes. I would go to the doctor, but they'll just recommend pain killers again, which don't work. The break happened over 5years a go.

Just wondering if somebody knows any ways to help ease the pain in these changing weather conditions? Even if it's taken from a broken leg or arm, there must be something out there that helps?

Trust me with the pain currently over my cheek bone, and spreading under my eye and into my teeth the temptation is there.

Cheers for the help guys.
I may go and ask for a referal just for a check up.
Outside I usually have my scarf pulled up over it, either hiding my face like a thug or having it loped sided. But even sitting in the house it's agony.

My knee aches every single day! Twice as bad when it is cold. Do you have any idea how long the winter lasts in this country?

11 months......

lucky, I do have a plate but its above my eye, this causes no problems.

Seeing the original surgeon may be hard. My case was being reviewed 3weeks later, while I was on holiday, long story short had the operation in York hospital.
