Are you under an Orthopaedic Consultant and /or a Neurologist?

What pain relief meds are you on?

Is anyone helping you with Physio?

Do you have a good GP that you can talk to?

Phone and ask for a phone call back, maybe? Say in too much pain to get to appoinments.

Ask what help is available and can Ambulance transport be arranged or a home visit from a Therapist ??

What's the Pain Clinic waiting list like in your area ? Can you phone them and find out?

Just some suggestions to consider ?

You shouldn't be left to deal with this pain alone. x

Welcome to the group,

Well, first off you are not alone, I too have depression due to chronic pain.

I am seeing a CBT therapist who visits my home once a week, she has given me lots of info to work on .

Dont know if it will work, but worth trying

Can you ring your GP to arrange a home visit,

Referral to pain management clinic is what you need , I have my first appointment end of November.

Try not to worry, chronic pain is awful, yes and debilitating, , how are you at home? Do you need any equipment to help..like perching stool, grabber , raised seat for your chair, .. you can self refer to occupational therapist,

Hope you find some help .😕
