I should have stayed a night or two in hospital but I didnโt wanna. ๐
Now I swear doc thought I was faking and wouldnโt give me a script for anything stronger than nurofen.
I have terrible pain but limited loss in joint and muscle mobility and strength
this is what happens when youโre a fitter than most people your age ( which is pathetic considering Iโm unfit ) and diligently do sciatica exercises all the time
@Seagoon_ @CEOofmyhouse56 I am new to the chronic pain merry-go-round, but it seems doctors who don't know you well will pretty much assume this by default. It's exhausting. I even had the rural GP who ordered my MRI which showed clearly there was signal behave like there wasn't really anything more he could do. I think he was a bit grumpy that his diagnosis of "likely tennis elbow" was incorrect.
thank you so much for the kind words
hugs to you too :)
