I've got a form to fill in from the pain clinic and it asks me to grade my pain from 1-10 with 10 be the worst pain I can imagine. Can I imagine anything more painful thatn childbirth or waking up from surgery, with my middle sewn up and no pain killers, well no I can't, but theres no where on the form to put this. The form's a bit crap as it has very little space for me to write anything, like the massive side effects from all pain killers except paracetamol and even they upset my tummy after 3 or 4 days.
It dosen't help that I've been discharged by them twice before with no relief, they decided the pain in my back was to widespread for them to give me injections and although I'm going for knee, shoulder and hip pain this time I'm afraid they won't be able to help again and I will be told I'm so resourseful I could teach them stuff. I got upset and angry when they said this, I've done everything I can for 30 odd years to stay out of a wheelchair and now when I ask for help, theres nothing they can do, or will do or consider.
