Answer 2

Amanda B has said what I would have.  Your daughter needs ongoing care and pain management and McMillan nurses are experts in this field and offering support to your daughter and you.  I am so sorry to hear that your daughter is so ill and at such a young age - it must be very difficult for all of you but there is help out there.  

Answer 3

I think you should really be speaking to her doctor in order to get something appropriately prescribed. Ibuprofen and paracetamol make up good pain relief or have you thought about trying codiene? Tramadol is a fantastic pain killer too. My love goes out to your daughter x x x  

Answer 4

The best thing you could do is speak to a palliative care nurse and they would be able to help where pain management is concerned.  If your daughter doesn't have one, you could get in touch with Macmillan nurses who will be able to help or a district nurse.
