"Worse pain clinic ever"

About: St Thomas' Hospital / Pain Management

I have been suffering from chronic pain for 2 years and nobody has given me a diagnosis. I was taken off a medication which was really helping and put on something that didn't work.

I felt the person i saw was so concerned about using opioids for pain relief they forgot that i was suffering. I wasn't involved in my care and despite me stating my concerns i wasn't listened to and they done what they thought was best anyway.

I wouldn't use their service again as they forgot that i am somone suffering in pain and I'm not a number I'm a person with a difficult life because of pain.

I thought a pain clinics role was to help with pain not cause more stress and treating you like a drug addict
