"Sent home in pain after 3 days"

About: Stepping Hill Hospital

I went with stabbing pains in kiddney and bad testical pain. Was given a ct scan and doc found no reason for pain. I was given pain killers and sent home. After 5 weeks off pain it got so bad I had to go back. A had a

X-ray in A&E then sent to a ward they got my old ct scan and said there's boing to cause pain. After 3 days inside they said I should go home as had no reason for pain I said I was in agony still and someone must be able to find out why I was in such pain and was told no there is nothing anyone can do go home. I went home and put my pain problems in google it said trapped nerves in back. In the morning I booked myself in to a physio and within 30 seconds they said my back was in spasm and snapped my back in place. Why did the hospital not even have a clue I have spent 6 weeks in bad pain and 5 waisted days in hospital. You need to understand that pain can come from trapped nerves it could off saved lots off needed nhs funds and I would not have suffered in pain for weeks on end. Very disappointed with all involved. I had asked to be seen by pain management and they said I would have to be in pain for over 2 months and sent home and told to go back to gp. I said that was no good as the pain was to bad and would end up in A&E so glad that Google gave me the answer.
