At My Wits End

[emmie]

never thought would say that but i can't get to grip with what is going on.
had base of spine pain for months, it started as a dull ache and has progressed to something i don't understand nor can get the pain under control. Pain radiates from the neck right down the spine, bending sends burning sensation across should blades, down the spine, back, to add to this can't bend hardly nor can i get footwear on well as it's all painful. throbbing pains downs both legs and like electrical shocks down into ankles and toes, especially the big toe either sitting or walking.. I have seen the GP number of times who has given me Naproxen, but it really doesn't help much. I have been waiting to see a Neuro team, for some reason the GP finally tells me that the Neurosurgeon won't take up my case, i didn't ask to see a Neurosurgeon! only someone to explain and have a look at doing scans to see what is going on, so now i have to wait more weeks to see the Neuro team.
left knee swollen again and painful, and to add insult to injury have the same blasted pain across the bridge of the nose and down the face that have had for months. i haven't felt as bad as this in years,

a walk in centre isn't really appropriate for a long-term problem - they will most likely give you painkillers and just send you back to your gp

Sorry to hear of your pain emmie.

I am often at wits end, but there again for me it is such a short trip.

OG, i know what you mean,

painkillers i have, what i don't have is an answer, so maybe it will be a case of phone a private doctor and see what they can suggest, however the cost is most likely not something i can afford if it encompasses other treatments.
