Iāve got lupus and had chronic sciatica since April. In July I was diagnosed with a torn Achillesā tendon. 6 doctors later, Iām no further forward with any treatment. Iām in excruciating pain but just keep getting fobbed off with co-codamol and at one point oramorph. Iāve been waiting nearly 11 weeks for an ultrasound and even longer for a physio appointment. Iām now considering using my savings to go private as the pain is really affecting my quality of life. I feel Iām at breaking point. Iāve asked for a quote for a private scan and treatment, just hope itās not too expensive. xx

Is agonising! Apparently if it doesn't heal naturally you can have surgery I would suggest getting another opinion from specialist. I hope it improves.
sounds like psoriatic arthritis. do you have any family history of psoriasis?
