Sorry I have not posted for over 6 months …………

1st July

After 6 months battling with problems with agonising pains in my legs I went to the doctor as I was now in agony in my privates, I’d never experienced pain like it and never want to again. She arranged for me to go into hospital for an mri scan I’d been waiting for so I was seen right away thankfully, the staff were marvellous. I was wheeled onto the ward in a bed, I was pretty scared and cried as I didn’t know what was wrong and felt very alone. I had an mri  scan on my lower back which was fine thankfully. The next day I had an ultra sound. I was in ’til the monday all they could do was give me pain-killers, my ultra sound showed up a small fibroid other than that everything was fine. I had to cancel my holiday as I was due to fly out the next day, I was gutted

I went home on the tuesday afternoon none the wiser as to the cause of my problems. I made an appointment to see my doctor, she gave me some back exercises to do, although  my back felt ok I still had problems in my legs and lower half. I had pain-killers but sometimes they made me feel dreadful, I felt so ill. I saw a different doctor but wasn’t happy I felt he was very complacent and had no understanding of my suffering so my next visit I asked to see a different doctor, she gave me some tablets to help the nerves in my body. I think they have helped with some of the pins and needles and numbness, but they put me to sleep and I’m groggy. So coupled with the pain-killers I’m mostly asleep. But I can’t sleep on my back or left side because of the horrendous pain.
