I'm sorry to hear about your pain @Amanda1971. Have you managed to speak with somebody about your lift situation?

I'm at the do tors soon so gonna see about my pain. The lift situation cant be sorted I'm in a council flat and the only way for me to get out of here is on my bottom. Very degrading I know not only for me but for people who are trying to get passed me. I e pit in for a move on medical grounds so it's just a waiting game now
