Hi all, I  am AndyH64
I have just joined. I have had chronic pain issues for over 20 years. I have neuropathic lower limb pain and use a spinal cord stimulator. Despite hip replacements 6 years ago due to osteoarthritis the struggle goes on. I am 58 and am going around in circles and feel as though Despite my best efforts I am hitting a brick wall. What to do when you feel like you have explored all avenues repeatedly?

    Hi there @AndyH64 and thanks for reaching out :) To make it easier for everyone to share their thoughts I've just popped your post into our physical and neurological impairments category. 

    Have you looked into advocacy services at all? The NHS has more information about what a advocate might be able to help with on it's website. 

    Feeling stuck in a vicious circle can also have a big impact on your mental health and wellbeing, so if you ever feel this is something you are struggling with, don't hesitate to ask for help.

    If we can lend a hand with anything else, let us know.
