    Welcome to the community @buzzy :) I'm really glad you've reached out to us today. You're not the only one who has felt this way, and we're all here to try and support you.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're in so much pain, and that this is causing you to feel so low. Have you spoken about this with your doctor, or asked for a referral to a pain clinic? 

    Are you receiving any support for your mental health at the moment? Please remember that there are people you can talk to in the moments you find yourself thinking that life isn't worth living. You can always:
    • Call Samaritans on 116 123, or email them on jo@samaritans.org
    • Text SHOUT to 85258
    • Ring 999 or travel to your nearest A&E department if you feel unable to keep yourself safe
    I've sent you an email too. If you could give it a read and get back to us, that'd be great :)

    Hi and welcome @buzzy glad you have joined and I am sorry you are in such pain 

    Have you spoke to your gp about referral to pain management clinic or maybe your consultant can get involved to instruct your gp of meds you require 

    Hope you get sorted
