I think you have every right to be referred to a specialist if you insist. I don't see how your doc can refuse. If you have problems with your doctor, I would make a formal complaint to the practice manager. Hope you get sorted, it's no fun being in pain.

I don't Tramadol if you come of of th you will get cold turky Get some Lykra 100 mg

Hi lovely. As already advised can you see another GP at the practice? You have every right to be referred to a pain clinic or rheumy, I'm not sure they can refuse you but I could be wrong. Can you take someone with you to see him/her, someone close who can support you?

Hugs

I used to be scared to ask for a referral but as long as you do it in a pleasant way the doctors I have seen are fine with it. Good luck xx

I genuinely hope that your appointment went really well for and that you got a referral or at least some new meds?

Al my hopes and dreams for you
