Hi all, I,m 71 yrs old and in generally pretty good shape, just the normal aches and pains inc a Sciatic Nerve issue.
The main reason for my joining this Forum is to get more info from fellow sufferers in order for me to see whether my TN experience is more or less similar to everybody elses then at least when i am in A & E in excruciating pain and being given Morphine i can tell myself that i'm not the only one that is having to endure this torture without being able to have it dealt with by a competent Neurologist.

    Hello there @Scallywag71 and welcome to the online community, thanks for joining :) 

    You might like to visit our chronic pain and pain management category to connect with other members going through similar. I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're having with your care and support. 

    You might want to talk through any concerns with PALS (Patient Advice and Liaison Service) in your local hospital, as they may be able to help resolve things. 

    In the meantime, I hope you enjoy spending time here on the forum, and please ask if you have any questions.
