hurting real bad

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.

My husband was in the emergency room with what turned out to be a badly broken back in two places and they were trying to send him home and accusing him of being a "drug seeker". I refused to check him out and when a second Dr came in and read the x-rays he wanted to fly my husband to a large med. center out of our area because there were no Drs in our area that can treat breaks as bad as his. This was just the beginning so I don't have any trouble believing you are getting scary bad treatment. It sure seems unreal when its happening. I truly hope you get some better care where you are going. It will be time well spent. Best wishs
