Saw the nurse this morning and i get on well with her, she listens to what you have to say first. Then she goes back to your last visit to who ever you saw to find out what they said . She then asked if i been to Pain Clinic and if i had had my cardio scan. I said yes and she then looked through notes to find results. Then she the went back to what i said and asked more questions. At the end she went in to see the consultant for advise and what the next move is. In her opinion the consultant does'nt think i need any more tablets as they will not help, she does agree that an MRI is needed on my neck to see what is causing the pain. Again i have been told to carry on with what i'm doing as i have no swelling and to see what the scan finds . I have an appointment in June we will wait and see if i get to attend that one.

Hope you are all feeling a bit better with not to much pain.

Sending everyone hug and best wishes for the New Year .

Chris

Good news, lets hope the scan gets to the bottom of your pain! Glad they were nice to you xxx

I'm so glad you get on well with your nurse Chris. It always gives you more confidence in them when they listen and take notice of your thoughts and worries. I hope you manage to attend your appointment, but June seems so far away right now.

Thanks for replying . It was supposed to have been 4 mnths but that was all full so the first appointment that was available was June and the consultant said that was ok as i had got to have a MRI between now and then.
