Pelvic Chronic Pain - help please :)
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hello,
Im 20, I have been suffering with this horrible pain for the past two years. I have had every test possible and they cannot find anything. I do have PCOS & Endometriosis but that shouldnt be causing me this much pain all the time apparently. I have seen a pain management clinic and they have told me that I have Pelvic Chronic Pain.
I have obviously had to have a lot of sickness time off at work as its far too painful, and i am taking morphine on a daily basis.
Is this considered a disability? Im not really sure who i need to ask or how i would be able to find this out. At the moment I can't find anything that's helping me with the pain. I have had another flare up & I literally struggle to just get to the toilet, let alone downstairs for something to eat.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance

Years later diagnosed with intersticial cystitus and given meds for that, which helped a lot, 90percent. l dont know about pcos and endo, but imagine they can cause severe pain, but lve also had the response re debilitating nausea that the level of symptoms arent compatible with the level of gastritus seen, oh well, sorry were not all text book, and it shouldnt mean its made lighter of, l was lucky that the meds prescribed did settle the debilitating nausea 90percent, But the tiredness fatigue that was increasing throughout that time continues now virtually housebound with it, and struggle to do minimul essential jobs, most are left, still a battle with gps to take it seriously, little empathy and no help,
If youve been prescribed morphine for the pain the gps must accept how bad it is and disabling with it, do you have anyone to help with the practicals, if your state isnt considered a disability, shameful, it should be and your gp should be able to back you up. But know lve read of others debilitated or disabled and trying to manage their daily needs home pets, where is the help, so many healthy without jobs and could be such a help to those struggling. l,m sorry l dont know about the technicalities re getting registered disabled and getting help, but l,m sure others on here have been through it and will advice you. Keep battling on, hope you get help soon, best wishes. x
