Eamonn Holmes reveals ‘hellish ten months’ with chronic pain

“TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has spoken out again about the “hellish ten months” he has had with chronic pain following three slipped discs. The Belfast-born man revealed he receives treatment for the condition every day, but described it as “hideous”.

The new GB News presenter told The Times on some of the worst occasions he also has to rely on taking the powerful pain medication tramadol to ease the symptoms….. I get treatment every day. I get physio every day. I do exercises every day, get a bit of massage, which sounds pleasant but never is. Always love that, ‘He’s going for a massage today’ — and all you do is squeal and yell. But chronic pain is hideous.”

Study challenges the effectiveness of cannabis-based medicine for treating chronic pain

“Researchers from the University of Bath's Centre for Pain Research have contributed to a major international review into the safety and efficacy of cannabinoids when used to treat pain, including chronic pain in children and adults..... Our review shows that there is limited evidence to support or refute their use for the management of any pain condition. The studies we found were poor quality (high risk of bias) and the evidence was of very low-certainty, meaning that we are very uncertain of the findings and more research is needed."
