Ten years of pain

I would like you tell you about what has happened to me 10 years ago. I was kicked in the back. Had a blood clot on my right cheek x3. Was sent home, told I would be okay. I waited for me to repair but it was not happening.

1 year later taken back in for the day, was told again I was worrying over nothing. At this time they had not picked up that my coccyx had a big break in it!

In 2006 I changed doctors, was send for MRI scan. I was then told I had broken coccyx {was telling them}. Anyway have seen 3 doctors at 3 different doctors. Nobody will do the op on me. I am in a wheel chair, been on morphine last 2 years, 60 mg a day plus other drugs. Went to Cardiff hospital today, got told again I was high risk, so no, I am to go back next week to have injection in my spine yet more drugs gggggggrrrrr.

When will they ever take this pain away from me? Other things have set in now, infection in hips, trapped nerves in both legs, 5 discs out, and nobody will help me. Worked for the NHS for 17 years as a midwife, put my heart and soul into my job, was a long distance runner for Wales for 10 years. Where has it got me? My husband has been crying as he is unable to help with pain he is finding life hard. Now this is 2007. Come on where is the help for us to be pain free?
