Hello there,

It sounds like you have suffered a lot with chronic pain and that you already have received different treatments for it. For now, it would probably be useful for you to contact your GP to discuss what other pain management options are available.

Have you ever participated in a pain management programme? It may be worth discussing this with your GP. You can find out more about pain management programmes at the following link - painconcern.org.uk/transcri...

Also, the following link will provide you with other treatment options that you may not have tried yet which could be helpful to support you to manage the pain :

painconcern.org.uk/resource...

Finally, here you can find a collection of information leaflets about managing pain:

painconcern.org.uk/publicat...

I hope this information was useful.

I'm sorry to hear that - it must be really frustrating for you. Sometimes people find it difficult speaking with healthcare professionals as it can feel like you're not being heard or understood.

Here is the link to an information leaflet about 'Managing Medical Appointments' -

Maybe take a look at this, and perhaps you could contact your GP surgery again.

I hope this helps.
