Hey There , I’ve Seen About 50-60 + GP’s Aswell
Question: Hey there , I’ve seen about 50-60 + GP’s aswell as About 10-15 Private GPs about my pain in my back that has been crippling me for years. They’ve offered me stuff called naproxen or codeine but neither of these things do anything for my pain.
But with ANY doctor I’ve seen they say the stronger stuff is addictive etc, but I’ve heard it all before and I just want my life back. English doctors will not prescribe ANY opioid medication but without sufficient pain relief it I’ve had to stop my extremely business this time of year.
I have had surgery twice on herniated discs (lower) and prolapsed S1 ,so it effects my sleep, my mood , even my physco when I don’t sleep because I’m in soo much pain I tell doctors and they say to love with it
PLEASE PLEASE someone actually help me or put me in touch with a pain specialist that can prescribe me something that will give me my life back.
I can go and source pain medication as most people could if they wanted but I am not one of those people and I’m trying everything I can to get through to the English doctors but they won’t listen , the strongest I’ve been offered is bupernorpine PATCHES of which I am allergic to the glue inside so that is no good neither does it really solve any of the pain . Please put me in the right direction of a mobile/cell phone of a doctot that can prescribe or help me or recommend me . More advice would be appreciated 0000
I’m 26, own my own very successful business but the pain (and therefore) lack of sleep debilitated me and my business. I’ve literally emailed and enquired with about 10 XXXXXXX doctors also but again, no help there either.
I’m just enquiring on what to expect in the future of enquires and to see if you or anyone else could give any further information?
Much regards XXXXXXX Larner

Brief Answer:
INTERVENTION PAIN SPECIALIST approach is best solution.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.
* As per my clinical experience, the intensity of pain which is 9 out of 10
would not be that beneficial from medications as opioids or else against
the condition which is say 5-6 out of 10.
* You actually need a consultation with an expert Interventional pain
specialist ( usually anesthetic by degree holder ), who actually performs
procedures over such chronic pain cases and they put an epidural catheter,
insert analgesic medications inside the catheter which directly acts over
the central and peripheral nervous system and gives you immense relief
from pain within span of hours.
* From XXXXXXX it is not possible for me to get in contact with such doc, but
you can have help of our expert customer care executives of the website
who can help you in this direction where you can locate best Intervention
pain specialist nearby you.
I again repeat, chronic pain conditions as of yours would not respond to the best so far as any pain medications are concerned, which will make you ultimately drug dependent, while my advise is totally different and most suitable for your work pattern and business as well.
Do feel free to discuss further regarding the case at any point of time.
Hope this will help you for sure.
Wish you great health and success in life ahead.
Regards.
