[QUOTE="dogslife, post: 1732007, member: 54885"] You have my sympathy, ickihun. I have been in pain for 9+ months and that is bad enough! I also share your concern about taking so many medications for different conditions. It seems that you are given a medication for one thing and that causes side effects which need another medication to control them! I went through a different route so don't know if it helps but I went to GP who referred me to Physio. I had several sessions with good physiotherapist but she was concerned that my pain was not responding to treatment so referred me to a spinal specialist physio at local hospital for further investigation. He examined me and sent me directly for a pelvic x-ray and referred me to main hospital for MRI scan. The appointment came by letter directly from the hospital. The MRI was nothing to worry about at all. I had to wait until both results went back to the consultant who rang me at home today. It all took a long time and in the mean time I've really struggled and relied on heat pad and over the counter pain killers apart from the amitriptyline. Maybe its worth ringing the msk department to ask them if you have been referred directly for an MRI or consultant visit 1st? I wish you well and hope you get help soon.:) [/QUOTE]
