"No advice on how to cope"

About: Daisy Hill Hospital / Daisy Paediatric Ward

(as the patient),

I was in the Paediatric ward for 2 weeks, as I have a whole bunch of horrible, unexplained symptoms and they wanted to figure everything out.  In constant excruciating pain.

My doctor, (not sure of their name) was quite rude. Very roughly grabbed, shook and squeezed the places I told them were extremely sore, and just made everything hurt all the worse. 

Drs/Nurses/Whatever didn't really do anything for me except feed me meds every few hours.

They eventually did an MRI of my head and knee, it came back clear. Then they let me home, without giving me a diagnosis, or any advice on how to cope. Since then it's only gotten worse, and I've been waiting absolutely ages on an MRI of my back, and abdomen with no further info on how long it'll take.
