I suffer with back pain.L4/5 disc degeneration,L4 bilateral pars defect,L4/5 spondylolisthesis and bertolottis syndrome.i visited a&e earlier today 8/2/2020 in agony.the waiting time was 1 hour.i was told to sit on a hard back chair in waiting room.i sat there for about 30 minutes and I couldn’t handle the pain no more I needed to lay down.so I explained to the receptionist I’m going home I’m in too much pain I need to lay down I can’t sit on those chairs.she just said ok.didnt offer me another solution at all.i went home and came back later on because of the pain.the waiting time was 2 half hours.i said to the receptionist I can’t wait that long I’m in agony.she just said well that’s the waiting time.so I came home.anyone with my symptoms will know you cannot sit on a hard back chair especially when you have more pain then normally.im going back early hours in morning when it’s quite. I’ll suffer till then.i will be visiting PALS first thing Monday morning.
