Been laid up for 4 weeks now with excruciating pain in my back I’ve had a fight on my hands to try and get something done spoken to my gp had an ambulance out nothing just given me pills eventually I gave up and ended up getting myself to a&e but it was a mission and the pain was horrendous
Once I’d seen the dr in a&e they were going to send me home with sciatica but I had to kick up a fuss as I knew it wasn’t the problem he eventually agreed to contact orthopaedics and I had a scan after being seen by a specialist. They confirmed I had compression on my spine and needed surgery he told me to go home and I will get a phone call the following morning surprise this didn’t happen I’ve tried contacting the relevant people with no success so back in bed not knowing what’s happening and totally demoralised
