    What did a&e do? 

    I’m 6 months in now have a diagnosis of disc protrusion l4/l5 have hideous nerve pain taking gabapentin but it doesn’t work - and I was meant to have spinal injections to block nerve pain but found out I was pregnant so now unable to have anything done and been told to suffer another 6 months I feel your pain but you have options

    It’s awful you have my sympathy you really do I was the same and ended up paying privately for MRI and to see a spinal consultant- go to Your gp and demand a scan! I’m also now seeing a chiropractor and will try accupuncture  too I’m limited due to pregnancy but there’s loads you can try
