I am new to the site and am finding my way around, not sure if I am commenting in the correct place.
I suffered multiple injuries in a road accident 26 years ago. I have leg and spinal problems. My spinal problems went under treated for years, various attempts at epidurals and so on and opiate based drugs. Finally after years of being called a hyprchondriac, malingerer and down right nuisance I was diagnosed by a urologist as having cauda equina syndrome. Devastation ! It seems I have had to diagnose myself throughout the years, I ended up having my bowel removed because of the spinal problems. Any how to date I just feel I am regarded as a trouble maker and some sort of addict, I am frightened to ask for anything for the pain because I feel the powers that be are judging me. It is an awful situation I recently had to have a total hip replacement and nurses didn’t want to give me the pain relief I needed. Has anyone got any advice for me please, it is making me feel very isolated.
