"Dont care/Unbothered"

About: Pinewood Surgery, Ipswich

I have been suffering with Haemorrhoids for the last 4-6 weeks, i just keep getting fobbed off with creams/ointments. I was told by one GP that basically i have to deal with the pain and go through loads and loads of creams to "build a case" - enough is enough! my mental health is critically on the line - i am missing work and do not get sick pay! This is not quality of life! and when i do call or speak to anyone im made to feel like im bothering them or being dramatic! being told "its only one the size of a pea" it doesnt matter the size i can feel it and its painful! all i want is a referral and im made to feel that because its not pouring with blood 24/7 that its not severe enough to have something done about it... why does everyone have to get to a critical stage before they are helped??Another tried to tell me it was a skin tag... I know my body!
