Hello and welcome to scope @poppets3 the only suggestion I have would be to ask your GP to refer you to the local pain clinic (usually at the local hospital).2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

Sorry you are in so such pain and kn your own
Do you get any support or care if not then you can refer for a care needs assessment and maybe get some help -

I'm sorry to hear that you're in so much pain @poppets3, but I'm glad to hear that you'll be getting a call from a doctor tomorrow.
Here's a link to the social care self-referral, if you choose to do that.
Just so you know, I've moved your post into our category for discussions relating to dealing with chronic pain. -
