Iv been going to docs for 2 years but they don't know what to do next because I'm only 29 but they haven't sent me the pain clinic yet n I don't no why

[Hidden in reply to Newman1987]

I have been waiting to go to the pain clinic for 14 months now, the waiting list here is 14 months. Maybe you should tell your doctor you want a referral asap and don't take no for an answer. It's a long wait tho.

[Newman1987 in reply to Hidden]

Will do thanks for your help

[Hidden in reply to Newman1987]

You are welcome, good luck mate!

Just to second Hidden that your history of stroke indicates that you need the sophisticated management of an appropriate pain clinic. Best wishes for a swift referral.

Talk to your doctor and pray. Is medical marijuana (MM) available in your area? Has worked wonders for me. I have been able to start weaning off Lyrica and Baclofen because of the MM.

[Newman1987]

I don't no I'll have to sleek to the doc's

[Newman1987 in reply to Newman1987]

I have just found out that I carn't get mm in UK

[ITYFIALMCTT in reply to Newman1987]

MM is available in some states in the US.

There is a prescription item in the UK but it is reserved for people with MS afaik and, even for them, it's heavily restricted. I gather the prescription price for the product is very high in the UK but a very similar formulation is readily available to those with an MM card in areas of the US for comparative buttons.
