Pain

Hi. I'm desperate for someone anyone to help me. I woke up crying because I've barely slept with the pain and discomfort I feel from my arm. Nobody will help me. All I've been offered is physio and all that has done is made the pain worse. I had to beg the physiotherapist to refer me for a pain killer injection on the recommendation from my GP.
I was turned down because apparently the x-ray they looked back on which was at least eight years old claims it wouldn't help me, how can they say that without an up to date x-ray.
I can't take much more of the pain.

I really feel for you at how much pain you are in and um sure alot 9f people on here can also.
I would go back to doctors and ask what els can be done. She/He may suggest pain management who then might ask for an MRI.
My doctor told me that Dr's can no longer send patients for an MRI and has to be a specialist.
I think doctors try and exhaust all other possibilities to see if they work first, before referring you to higher up help.
The MRI will show up what may be causing the pain and any other problems that may or may not be there.
I hope this gives you some idea of what needs to be done.

It's the feeling that this is it this is my life. Pain in my back which has been given up on and now the same with my arm.
