Desperate for advice

[Guest guest]

I'm suffering level 8 and 9 Chronic pain.

Were I live all doctors do not see any new patients because there is to many

people for the doctors to cope with. My doctor closed up and left town.

My situation is disgusting. For 1 month I have been going to local hospital

trying to get Pain Management. I was told that no Opiates would be prescribed to

me. I asked why did not get an answer from Doctor.

You see the hospital in the past provided pain medication for 8 years through

the pain clinic that I went to. So I contacted COMPLAINTS COMMISION and many

,many other complaint departments. Trying to get treatment done for my

condition.

Superintendent of hospital asked me to come and see him, I did he told me to get

C.T scan done so I did. I have( FBSS)Failed back surgery syndrome, Post-

Operative fibrosis. Spinal Stenos-is. And gas in L3/L4.

Still the doctor will not prescribe pain killers not even as pro. I asked for

Physio and was told there is 2 months waiting list. Asked to go back to pain

clinic and was told there is 18 months waiting before I can get in.

I have no history of Opiate abuse and do all that I can to care for myself.

So honestly don't no If I can cope much longer the way my pain is just to walk

takes so much strength. I live on my own and only get support from carer 4 hours

a week.

So I suffer and no government Department will help. Not even the Health

Commission. The Hospital makes there own rules.

What can I do people I'm getting so depressed over this. I take antidepressants.

But this is just to much.

Please think about my situation and I pray someone will take the time to help me

find an answer to this mess.

All the best from Allan
