Unstable Fracture

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Tiverton, UK

I have been told, that one of the metal rods in my back has an unstable fracture
This can be heard constantly clicking, and is extremely painful
I saw a spinal consultant last week, and was told there is nothing they can do. He also insinuated that after 40 plus years of living with spinal conditions/pain, that a lot of the pain I “imagine”,I am in, is in my head!!!
My conditions are obviously not going to get better, but I have been DISCHARGED, from the hospital.
How is this right? And what… read more

Firstly, if he believes that most of your pain is "in your head", he should get someone (or do it himself) to contact a mental health expert (ie. psychologist). Obviously this would only happen when he asks you for consent.

Second, he isn't doing his job properly. He should give you PAIN MANAGEMENT. Why isn't he!? OR, EVEN BETTER, HE SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE.

I'M GETTING MAD FOR YOU.. I'M SORRY YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THIS xxx .
This is outrageous😡😡

have you tried going to other hospitals, maybe private?
Another doctor maybe?

I'm sorry your going through this pain

I'm here for you

I'm so sorry Nicola 😣 that's horrible.
I don't know what to say. They aren't doing their jobs and obviously don't care about you.
Im praying that you find a light and way to get it sorted out x

Thankyou for replying.I don’t know, where to go or what to do. I can not afford the private option!!
I am not allowed to change hospitals. So the Spinal specialist I saw, had never seen me before, does not know me as a person and gave me his opinion in literally 5 minutes.
As I have moved, I am with a new hospital.
I begged them to let me stay at my old hospital, as they have known me for 30+ yrs, but I was not allowed to.
So I don’t know. Life is pretty shot, at the moment
