Posted , 5 users are following.
Sept 2006, really bad pain in lower back, went docs was givem ibeprofen, never touched the pain, ended up in casulalty had xray, nothing showed up, back to gp, in nov 2006, refers me for MRI scan, waited until April 07 for this, continuous pain since sept, doc gave me anti infam tabs, they make me so tierd, but do ease pain a bit.
Got MRI scan results prolapsed discs, gp refered me to a orthopaedic spinal consultant, just got appointment through for 18th july, i cant understand why we have to wait so long when we are in so much pain, everything is suffering, scared to do anything, cant get in bath when on house on my own, been trapped in it b4 wen back just goes, i couldn move for over 30 mins.
Anybody got any help on dealing with this, and will i honestly ever be free of the pain.

I went to the pain clinic in Lancaster hospital and the Dr said he has a broken coxic and he doesn't need medication, so he made me basically feel like poo, and he said If he was to take 500 people off the street who had ddd then he would find they have no problem with pain!!!!! and yet he said in his next breath I could have arthritis in my hip? but he put across as though I wasn't in pain and I was imagining things and yet he prescribed me gabapentin?????
My doctor was appalled by his manner, and said you should have told him to have a baby lol, he thinks there is a possibility my hip have early arthritisor all the pain I have is related to the ddd so as it is I have to try these new tablets for nerve pain, and so if these don't work then I will see a rhuemotologist??? the human body seems to be one mystery as my Occupational health doctor said I could have arthritis in the hip and fibromalgia.....but I wont know until I see the specialist a rhuemotologist to diagnose what I have all together???
So basically Shaz just keep going back to the doctor until they get you your answer as I have to wait to see if these tablets work before I have the complete solution????
take care all
and keep fighting for the answers!!!!!
