Thanks for sharing this with us @Sawbill12, and I'm so sorry to hear about your pain and how debilitating it is. Have you ever been referred to a pain clinic?

I went to pain clinic they had 30 of us and only 22 chairs.
They wasted 21/2 hours looking for chairs. Then nurse told people to go home.
People said theyd had day off work
.we all agreed they needed to stsy but nurses knew best.
It was rubbish 4 hours wasted. They kept asking each other what to do ?? Why didnt they know
