Very safe, good family support, just had to air my feelings after his thoughtless and callus

retort perhaps a vacation at the "One Who flew over the cuckoo's nest psychiatric hospital " might help his bedside manner

I know exactly how you feel, I have among other things a huge hiatus hernia, a cricopharangeal spasm and acid reflux that is;nt responding to medication, I sleep, if you can call it that, in a sitting position because of acid regurgitation but a couple of nights ago had slid onto my back and woke up choking with my throat on fire and coughing so much I could'nt breath when I phoned my Doctor to ask for advice I was told by her receptionist that I could'nt speak to her because she had a full clinic of poorly patients which presumably did'nt include me and if it was such a problem to go to ER

I can't like your post darling because your doctors attitude i think i would report him him to the GMC as he shouldn't advocate jumping off the bridge.Hugs darling.xxxxx

You need to report the GP's comment to your Practice Manager as a matter of urgency. If he's saying that to vulnerable patients who are seeking his advice then it needs to be reported ASAP.

I feel for you there's nothing worse than constant pain

I had a hip replacement in Dec

Had to come off my meds for RA since sept as I was cancelled each month

I'm very grateful to n.h.s for my op but m really suffering now from flare ups

I'm lucky I've got a good rheumatology team at my local hospital

Your gps reaction was not good stay safe

Try "llsopsseap" tendinitis or bursitis. It is a rare, hip disorder that effects the slantef front part of the hip joints. It caueses weakness; also in the joint areas in the Quadriceps, as well as the knews. My doc is a senior doc at USC Medical in L.A.

Are you under the care of a chronic pain team?

I am awaiting a lidocaine infusion which is supposed to be very effective. I have many AI diseases and and limited to what analgesia I can take. It is very difficult to find the right analgesia, I too have swigged morphine to no avail.

Oh I so feel for you,as I'm in exactly your position,chronic pain,with NO quality of life. But if my GP spoke to me like that,just because of he's inadequate of fining of answers for me,I would definitely report his behaviour. I soooo empathise with you,but I'm afraid that's all anyone can do for me. But don't give up look for other alternatives. I don't get on with my GP either,seems we're to much trouble,if they don't have answers for us. There egos are to big. Chin up,we're all here for you.😘

Hi That's the nail on the head,were too much trouble for those egotists. Have now moved to a new practice and looking forward to crossing that bridge and NOT jumping off it

waste of time reporting these very few GPS to the practice managers Its a closed shop as you will be well aware. just airing my opinion on this guy, and all your feedback is a better medicine for my incensed opinion

Have a nice day...........hendora

in reply tohendora

Your right there,to put it bluntly,they all shit in the same pot.

Maybe kindly "write him a prescription", hendora: giphy.com/gifs/OXp81wJ1JHqZ...

Don’t know if the Pain Concern Forum ( healthunlocked.com/painconcern ) might be of use? 🤔

Wishing you blessed relief, dear hendora. 😌 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

Please ignore this total idiot advice, report this to their practices manager asap, also the GMC they have committed a big no,no ,and should be brought to task over this, Next you need to request to be moved to a different GP. I hope that you are doing better now, pain is no fun especially after such a long-term condition. Xx
