i posted the other day "pain & pills" but i'm still in lots of pain and dont know what to do. i had replies to my post & thankyou but i am seeing the worlds worst doctors and over the past 5 years if i told you all the things that have gone wrong with my doctor and hospital appointments then no-one would believe me from missed fractured vertebrae that have then been noticed and then been conveniently lost TO being put on the wrong combination of painkillers ending up in hospital with my stomach lining ulcerated. it has been 5 years of a nightmare and as you can probably imagine by now i have little faith in doctors, either my local doctors or the hospitals. i keep getting told to take it to the highest authority as i would have a very good case for compensation but as i keep saying, no amount of money will take away my pain and suffering and give me back a normal quality of life so whats the point. i have just been accepted by the local council to go to london for a 5 or 7 day in-patient detox programme which will include total rehabilitation both physical and mental lasting a total of 4 - 6 weeks as an in-patient which i know will be really hard being away from the wife and kids but compared to facing the rest of my life as i am it's a no brainer. well i know i haven't really posted a question but i just felt that i wanted to write down how i feel. good luck to everyone trying to cope with pain or withdrawal.
