I’ve got a painful medical issue. I am undergoing scans etc., or at least I’m on the waiting list.
in the meantime I have an appointment with my consultant this week to discuss management of the issue until then. I’m in pain all day everyday. I just want a day or two of relief to get some sleep. I would do anything - injections, hydrotherapy, and whatever I need to do. Over the counter pain medications don’t do a thing. But how do I voice this without it seeming like I just want strong painkillers on prescription? To be honest I’d rather avoid them unless it’s a very short course, because I know they can come with horrific consequences.
