Wen to see my pain clinic consultant today. Have to say is so great to be able to talk to someone who understands when I say I hurt, but can't pinpoint the spot, or that got no mobility today, but yesterday I did the ironing.
She had never heard of prolotherapy, so she is going to talk to others, find out about itand get info before coming back to me. One thing she warned me on is that even if a possible treatment for me, unless is offered in south/mid wales, then no chance. She said I won't be able to get refered to Cambridge. Darn it, I would cope with travel and pain if offered a relief, even if temporary.
Sometimes trying to explain that even when smiling I'm in pain is impossible. People think I'm just being drama queen. She knows just how it feels, and how chronic pain sufferers cope. She isn't refering me to pain management yet, as agrees to see if prolo worthwhile. Pain management clinic is basically my last call, when have no more options left.
I'm so lucky to be in this area. Having a teaching hospital means that the specialists are always willing to learn and try new things.
Keep your fingers crossed it works out.
