Hi all, I have just seen the back thread which I will read later on, I feel a bit of a fraud as I have only had this injury for three weeks and some of you have suffered for so long.
I fell down the stairs 3 weeks ago, pain got worse and worse to the point I couldnt walk so went to gp who stuck his finger up my bum and sent me away with tramadol and valium (I know there was a reason for the bum searching! It was just unexpected!)
Been seeing a chiropracter at £31 a pop and I am not sure if its helping.
Took myself to a and e last night as pain got ao bad and they finally gave me an xray which shows there is no fracture etc which is such a huge relief.
But it can't tell if there is anything wrong with the discs can it? How long do you think it will be before they suggest further investigations?
Again, I am so sorry to come here moaning about it when others have had it for years. I am back at work now and every morning I want to cry at the thought of going in. Also not sure how long I should take 800mg of tramadol a day for as it can be addictive?! Is there something better to manage the pain?
Thanks in advance for any replies, I am off to hobble to the shower to go to work!
