"Dreadful"

Posted via nhs.uk 5 years ago

I suffer from chronic pain and was sent to a pain clinic here.
The receptionists are hardly ever about and sometimes pretty rude.
The man I saw wasn't a doctor or a nurse yet gave advice on my pain that was COMPLETELY wrong!! He couldn't prescribe so I was sent to a nurse for another appointment so also couldn't prescribe to be sent back to my doctor!
What is the point in that! Other pain clinics prescribe there!
The advice he gave was dangerously wrong, telling you to do thing like exercise to the point of pain as then your pain tolerance will rise! What the heck, that is wrong.
Plus lots of other things like when I asked if it could be fibromyalgia. He said "that isn't diagnosed anymore but you could call it that if you want". That was his exact words!
It is diagnosed. obviously he couldn't as he isn't a doctor so why say that!
Wish I could go somewhere else!

Many apologies for the delay in replying. A number of services operate out of Broad Street, so I wanted to see if this related to Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. I believe this is our MSK Clinic. Please feel free to contact team leader Julie James if you'd like to discuss this. Your comment was posted anonymously so this is the only way we can reply. Julie can be contacted on 01422 222 677. Or you can email her on julie.james@cht.nhs.uk
