"I'm encouraged to make my own decisions"

About: Bedford Health Village

(as the patient),

After a hit & run driver left my body in need of major repairs several ago, the healing process continues to be relentlessly challenging, broken neck bones slowly fused together again and the scalp ripped from half my head stretched then stapled as good as was possible back to my face. Unrepairable nerve damage & osteoarthritis puts me among the many sufferers of long term pain, going through the process trying one type of medication after another, hoping to find the one needed for life to be as it once was. The emotional and mental changes sometimes become as dibilatating as the pain, being in my forties I've struggled to find any enthusiasm when thinking of the future.

I personally have found the approach taken by Circle MSK services Bedfordshire to be a refreshingly different experience, feeling more comfortable with each visit, allowing me to feel more in control and providing several options to explore at my own pace. I am now halfway through a pain management plan, which I would recommend to any pain sufferers looking for different future prospects. It's not a miracle cure and wont take your pain away but has showed me ways of coping better, most important for me is the way I have been treated, never once have I felt that I'm being told what to do instead encouraged to make my own decisions.

I've now excepted that damaged parts of me are never going to feel brand new again, baffled I believed it ever could, I encourage anyone that feels able to attempt a change to give MSK a try. Be honest and open minded with them, it may not be for you but hey what have you got to loose!
