5years to diagnose my "mechanical spinal issues"

BamsieEkhaya

So, it only took the NHS 5years to diagnose my spinal issues...over 18 weeks of crazy strong Ibuprofen (taken in intervals - always willing to throw 6weeks of ibuprofen every time I went for help) plus the crazy nurofen liquid capsules I had to buy after still not getting any help.
popping pills like they were tic-tacs !

Within those five years, number of times they ACTUALLY CHECKED my spine hmm about 2
number of Dr. that have all dismissed me 6
number of breakdowns - crazy amount

This morning I actually thought I'd end the day paralysed, went to the nurse who throws another Ibuprofen my way and tells me its probably because of yesterdays aerobics...slept...woke up in even more agony (literal breakdown) before I was allowed to see ANOTHER Dr. (who finally checked my back and ligaments before deciding I do indeed have a REAL back issue

After my x-ray tomorrow, I'm sticking to private healthcare

5 friggin years of trying to prove it wasn't in my head
