    Hello @overthepondsteph Pleased to meet you welcome.

    Sorry you are in pain.  

    Have you seen our information on Practical Support.

    Includes information on Chronic pain.

    Understand about your Doctor not listening.

    I am sure the community can add and offer any solutions.

    One from me is to try to get Advocate to speak on your behalf.

    To represent you speak for you.

    Usually find them on line charities.

    Hope that helps

    Take care
