Today I had my first visit to Addenbrookes physio/ pain clinic . Normally ( rarely) I am seen in rheumatology.

I can not praise the physio/pain clinic enough!!!!! So often on NRAS there are unhappy posts . But todays experience in pain clinic was superb !!!!! A very extensive examination followed by a warm , empathetic conversation ! And , all my notes had been read !! I am SO impressed !

I nearly fell off my chair as the new GP rang on Saturday to tell me that they’d rechecked my blood and pee results and I needed another lot of antibiotics! Donny said he’d rung to say it’s better to be cautious but it was an awful line and he thought I said I’d only taken one. Actually I’d said I’d taken the last one this morning. He laughed ! So I agree and always think our local and much maligned hospital has a super RA unit. Do think though they must think how awful some people are as ungrateful and rude, impatient and sometimes time wasters. And I know the NHS is struggling with staff shortages as my sister is still nursing at 65. The patient Led Initiative is a good idea and seems to work here too.

oh that’s interesting as I am under Addenbrooke’s rheumatology dept. Seen very occasionally. How did you get a referral to the pain clinic?
