Letting everyone down fear

[Georgiepud]

I've had tummy and back pain for a few months. Kept brushing it off, had a GP appointment, bloods, but no conclusions reached. Still persisting.

I'm due to go on holiday with a couple friends next month, and am the organiser. For various reasons I'm also the driver when we arrive.

The closer the trip gets the more severe the pain is. I'm concerned I'll be in discomfort, but I can't let the other people down. They've forked out a lot of money for them for the 2 week trip.

Help!

Have you found painkillers that can help?

I take paracetamol but it doesn't help. The pain is there sitting, lying too, all the time.
I'm not sure what help another visit to the doctors will make with only 4 weeks to go. But neither can I undertake the trip in this state. I've not mentioned it to the others, they're so very excited.

I get back pain and headaches and get codeine from a private GP. It's less expensive that you might think
