    Hi Supppa

    I had only two years of this but once the damage is done its done and there is no going back. If i was you i would be going along the lines of sueing your old GP, i know it will not give you your mobility back but it may help to pay for equipment to make life easier for you now and in the future

    I had back pain for 20 years!! Started same year as my psoriasis but 2 and 2 were not put together and I was led to believe it was just a skin condition. Less than a year ago and countless doctors later I was referred and got diagnosed. Made me so angry that I'd been brushed off all those years.
