Chronic pain clinics
Today I have finally gotten through to my GP that I need help beyond his abilities.Dont get me wrong he has been super supportive and he has tried his best.
I have seen pain specialists and surgeons and after all the operations I'm worse than ever.
So today I have been referred to the Hunter integrated pain clinic in john hunter hosp Newcastle.
I am hoping some of you might be able to tell me if you have attended and what I can expect .
I ask this as I was sent to a pain clinic in Sydney and they took my meds and said I won't need them as they will help me live without them .2 days later I was admitted to hospital
I don't want to go down that road again.
Any input would be appreciated
