Hi Ive got Scoliosis Kyphosis and have had bone fusion many years ago. Im currently suffering severe pain just where my spine curves and have had local anasthetic injections but they have not improved anything.
Can anyone let me know of any other measures that I can approach to be able to live with this pain, I need relief out of somewhere. I also have severe breathing problems and lung restriction.
Its impossible to obtain an appointment with the consultants.
I NEED HELP!

see consultant. It cannot be that you can not. Start with GP, and ask him or her for a referral, explaining why you want it. Then your GP can discuss potential benefits of this, and book it, or explain why it would not help.

I have already tried the Bu-Trans Patches and ended up very seriously ill with these so they are a no no for me.
Currently on Nuermentin would do anything for relief, but the hospital have discharged me some 10 years ago, so hopefully I'll be seen by them again without much delay.

I think the previous post has said it all.
I have kypho scoliosis along with OA, a fractured greater trochanter bone that will never heal and has left me on crutches permanently and also osteoporosis
So I think your GP is the first stop....its usually them that deal with pain relieve and from that you will possibly get a referral to the pain clinic or to the consultant
Good Luck

I have been very careful about the weight issue as Ive little to no room in there for the lungs to start with. On a BIPAP at night and its great, I feel as if Im living again, if only I could get a cure for the pains, and the struggle to get through each day is inhumane.
All the best
