Hi, all I hope you are all doing okish, I’m really annoyed tonight, got a email from pain clinic, nothing more we can do for you, and referred you back to your Gp, I’m awaiting a two appointment that has been put through by the pain clinic, and now, nul and void, wtf . I have been waiting 2 years now for help with my Trapz and nerve damage. And supposed injections, I will admit I have had 1. A major muck up.

Has any one else just been , eloo, good bye under the new restrictions 😡

I’m so sorry to hear that blue, it’s terrible, P has has his diabetic clinic put off at the moment too , it’s bonkers , covid seems to have taken over everything , I can only imagine the number of people who will die of cancer ,heart disease etc by this cancellation of appointments. I thought when we’d all been jabbed it would get better , but it seems to be getting worse.😳

Hey hun, it is getting beyond a joke, and very wrong of them to do this to people, I remember you saying about oh and appointments, and he needs looking after 😡.I think they should still be looking after people with life threatening illnesses, I appreciate, they are all trying to keep people, and themselves safe, or helping with the vaccine roll out. ❤️🤗

Hi blue Your not wrong there they are a joke. I was told to come of all my medication so I did as they did not seem to be working. I have had 3 appointments cancelled 1 of which was meant to be last week now in January 2022. I don’t hold much hope. COVID Cloak will probably come out again. I haven’t be far this year as the pain is quite bad most day and seriously 30% of the time. I wish you luck 🍀 and hope your gp help you with your pains X

That’s not right, is it, they could have at least done a telephone appointment for you, and helped you with pain meds 🙄.I am sorry you are having a hard time, I take it your doctors hands are tied as to pain meds.

I wish you luck for January. X

I am so sorry. We are going backwards instead of forward with treating us. I have now been diagnosed with ostio arthritis. Because of the reaction I have to almost all other secular medication, I’m only given paracetamol. The pain is excruciating and affects the right side of my body, I’m right handed and that’s where the pain is worse. So more pain to add to my collection. I truly hope your doctor can get you the injection as soon as possible. Take care and stay safe. Try to have a good Christmas. Gentle hugs.x

Thank you Hun.That must be very painful, I take it you are like me, can’t tolerate strong meds, would pain relief creams be of any help, or heat. I’m so sorry you are in so much pain.

Gentle healing hugs.

Same to you, try and enjoy Christmas. X

Sorry to hear that, I’ve got osteo as well and it’s so painful, if you can’t take meds heat is good, I use deep heat cream and patches a lot which do help and use supports on my wrists, take care

Didn't realize at first you were talking about Covid restrictions, I thought you meant opiod restrictions. Oh ya did they do a number on me at the pain clinic. The witch with a capital B told me I wasn't going to pull that crap (what crap?) on her, there's not a damn thing wrong with me, basically I'm a worthless turd.

It took me days of talking to other people to realize she thought I was there drug seeking. Silly me, I didn't know that's what pain clinics did. I thought they helped people manage and improve pain. I wouldn't have agreed to opioids even if she had offered, I hate taking drugs.

Nope, there's not enough trauma being in constant pain, these little demi-Gods with medical degrees gotta give the swing an extra big push.

I'm sorry you're getting no help, just a lot of crap. Sorry, but not surprised.
