I'm sorry, I haven't experienced what you described but it sounds really painful, try and call NHS direct or out of hours doctors in your area, maybe they can send a doctor or nurse to your home to at least apply some lidocaine patches for your pain. You poor thing!

I understand about the painkillers but you could ask for an injectable form that has an immediate effect. When are you seeing your doctor again? I get that you're waiting for the MRI but meanwhile your GP needs to do something about your pain, you can't stay like this!

Blimey, that sounds rough, where is the pain coming from, the water infection? Have you tried hot water bottle on that area of pain?
