:( bit lost for end of 2019- pain management

Been having pain for three months and after some scans and consultations I've learned nothing can be done to help me- it's not life threatening. I was a bit shocked because I was expecting to get an op date when seeing the consultant this week and wasn't expecting this.

So I'm rather down abit thinking being an important year for me to end like this. I'm going to have to think about ways to manage the pain- in itself anxiety inducing. I might have to cut back on my cycling and look at changing lifestyle in some ways- in itself anxiety inducing again!

But, press on and has to be managed of course somehow.

Just to say thanks to all here, it's a great forum and so very supportive and friendly. Have great holidays all.

  • Sorry to hear about this. I found this link on the nhs website which has a number of options for managing pain, if you haven’t already explored them? Have you been referred to a pain management clinic at all? Just wondering, even though you can’t have the opp, perhaps there are ways of managing the pain so that it doesn’t bother you as much?
