Pain Clinic London

[dorking15]

Has anyone paid to see Chris Jenner in London and was it worth it? I feel quite fortunate to have seen a rheumatologist and pain dr but never ever really get a definite diagnosis and flounder around discussing different meds and any physio just causes me far more pain than I started with.

Hi there - sorry to see nobody's answered yet. If you do a search you will see that there have been posts regularly praising Chris Jenner. Apparently he gives recommendations for your GP. Everyone I've read who's been there has said that it was worth it.

OTOH if you have two fairly good docs, the question is what you (can) expect.

I'd guess if you need peace of mind that it is fibro, he'll help with that.

But I think it's still best to look for your own types of treatment, in my case no meds helped, they only harmed, and it took a long time and forum suggestions till I got one herb and quite a few supps to really help.

As far as physio is concerned my experience is that general physio, even supposedly specifically for fibro is much too tough for me. I can do it all, but often just in small doses, sometimes even only 20'' or 3'. What I generally do as self-treatment is a collection of back exercises & "yoga", stretches for neck, loins, whole body, cold showering, autogenic training, if I can a short workout, 30'-2h/d but only in short stints. To progress however, I have needed a gentle, sensitive osteopath and now better an acupressurist at least 2x/week.

These are things which I doubt even a Chris Jenner could have helped me with.

However if I were in the UK and not progressing otherwise, I'd definitely go to him.
