"He listened and spoke with confidence"

About: Queen Margaret Hospital / Pain management

(as a service user),

After years suffering from chronic pain my situation got so bad that I ended up being made redundant from work through ill health after 32 years service.

My GP had exhausted all options and decided to refer me to the Pain Management Clinic, on my first visit I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, finally I had a reason for the chronic pain and fatigue.

Truthfully I would say I also suffered mentally, no work, poor health, a long process of test after test without ever getting to the bottom of it.

I was then given regular appointments with George. He listened, he spoke with confidence, he believed me, he gave me the tools to work with and now today I have had my final appointment with outstanding results, my pain may never go away but I know how to deal with it.

Thank you everyone at the Pain Management Team, NHS Fife.

George, “WE” got there… Cheers.
