Hi

I am new to the group. I am at my wits end. My pain is unbearable my GP seems disinterested. I am on painkillers but nothing seems to help. My knees have started giving way on me to the point I have fallen down the stairs. I can not hold anything in my hands. I am so tired I cry as i feel so alone like no one understands the pain I am in. Not even sure people believe me.

Any Advice would be much appreciated.

Hi @TashaH71 and welcome to the online community.

I am so sorry to hear about your pain, and experience with your GP. It's heartbreaking to read. No one should have to go through that.

Like @Bluebell21 has suggested, is it possible to raise this with your GP. Perhaps ask to see an alternative Doctor who may offer a more supportive service.

I've also found the below link with some detail on the feedback and complaints procedure for the NHS which I hope is helpful.

NHS England » Feedback and complaints about NHS services

I hope you don't mind but I've made a change to your post title, just to help others on the forum who might have had a similar experience to find. They may have some additional helpful information.

Please keep us updated on how you get on if you're comfortable to. And whilst on this forum, I hope you take advantage of the categories. May I suggest coffee lounge. It's a lovely area if you want to socialise with other members.

Best wishes,

Holly.
