I feel like I was not heard the appointment felt rushed glossed over certain things. I have been waiting for the appointment for over 3 years with chronic pain ongoing for nearly 18 years at this point I felt so disheartened and most of how I was feeling was due to depression and not chronic pain.
I feel the doctors did not let me explain my full symptoms to help with some sort of a plan or other outcomes or help. I didn't get to go through everything I needed to was basically told I was holding onto trauma that I did not have in childhood or as an adult and that is a contributing factor to my pain.
The mri scan that was used was 3 to 4 years out of date and was given a ten minute examination to determine my pain tolerance.
This felt hopeless and I felt overlooked and unseen I cant deal with this pain for much longer I understand why people don't want to live anymore.
