"I havent tried acupuncture no but I am worried that it will destabilise me as it has done in the past when I have had a course of treatment."

What do you mean Paddy - are you worried about the painkillers derailing your mental health? Do they know what's causing this pain and nausea? I think you should try acupuncture - there's an acupuncture point on your inner wrist. If you press hard with your thumb, this might help the nausea. Natural ginger root tea is also good for nausea. Would a pain patch be as addictive as the pills? I'm sorry you're in pain (((Paddy))).
