I had a voicemail left by Dr Godwin this morning to say that, following her request for advice and guidance from the pain clinic, the consultant’s advice is that I be seen by them. Now I could say something quite negative here about how everyone bar the GPs seem to think I should be seen by the pain team, but I won’t. Well ok, so I just did, but keeping it positive, I at least know there is potential for something to be done, and if it doesn’t work, I have one less major nagging doubt to worry about when deciding whether to take the plunge on the surgery option.
Evidently the pain consultant has also suggested some alternative meds I could try while I wait for an appointment, so I will discuss that with the GP when I go back in 10 days.
