I’m in so much pain I feel sick but my GP won’t see me

I injured myself five months ago. I’m seeing physio but it’s a two month wait for a face to face appointment and every night doing the exercises the video physio set me is leaving me in agony.

It’s to the point I feel sick and can’t concentrate on my work, I’m taking the highest dose of ibuprofen and paracetamol I can but they’re not doing a thing. The GP keeps pushing me back and saying it’s a physio issue and because of that, they can’t prescribe me anything.

I have been in this pain for five months now and I just can’t keep doing it. WIBU to sit in my GP’s reception on Monday until they’ll sit me in front of a doctor and let me explain the impact it’s having on my life?

Have you got Zapain?

Have you spoken to the physio? Some of them here can refer on to the 'next level' which would be MSK or Ortho. They can usually order investigations as well

What’s the injury?

Have you had a doctor look at it at all, or just straight to a physio?

Stop doing the exercises.

physios will often tell you to push through the pain but if the exercises are causing enough pain to have an impact on your life they aren’t right for you.
