My partner has had chronic pain in his lower back for about 7 years. I don’t know precisely his condition,he doesn’t either. But it’s possibly due to torn or worn ligaments. He has up and down days but has managed it by doing very little part from walking.
Recently, he bought some rollers that plug in then roll over painful areas. He used them on his neck and head but stopped when he noticed them kind of pinching his head. Since then, he’s had an unbearable pain in the back of his head (it’s been about 2/3 weeks). He’s convinced that the lower back pain has migrated to his head. He’s very distressed and worried about whether he can continue working.
When I suggest seeing a GP, he refuses because they can’t help/no one can help. In his situation, I would be raising hell to get help wherever I could, but his attitude is - I’ve read everything on the subject, there is no one they can refer me to, I can’t live with it.
Does anyone have any experience of something like this? What can he do? Who can he be referred to? Many thanks for reading.
