I've just come back from a rheumatology appointment to review test results as I've had hip / knee / hand swelling and pain for several years. I've been told all is fine apart from a mechanical problem with my hip that needs an injection and I've been referred back to my GP.
My consultant advised that he's referring me to a pain clinic as it's obvious i have chronic pain but this has upset me more. He's talking about a psychologists at the clinic and now I think he feels it's in my head which it certainly isn't. I'm only 30 and feel like I'm being written off and it's devastating.
Does anyone have any experiences of pain management clinics? I can't find much information about help they can give for undiagnosed conditions. Thank you!
