Hiya, I've struggled with chronic pain for years now but recently i ended up in hospital for three wks and since i've been home i've struggled to walk. Iv got loads of problems with my back DDD, spinal stenosis, arthritis and my lower spine is also crumbling all the nerves are in hyperdrive and all the muscles in my neck and back are in constant spasm. I've been told that they can't do anything apart from pain management and physio. But now im left housebound and when i ask the doctor, physio what im meant to do they just say its going to be a long slow process and even then i might not get back to how i was ( could walk using a stick) i've asked should i get a wheelchair but keep getting the same answer lets take it one step at a time. How the hell am i ment to do that i've got two kids 12 and 7, i can't even take my daughter to school i've been relying on my friends but its not their job, i've got no family around and my husband has to work. Im at my wits end have been told that since i get DLA my kids are classed as young carers never knew that but where can i get help form, i don't know when i'll be able to take my daughter to school again, im struggling to do anything in the house the pain is constant. If anyone can help or even tell me who i need to contact to get help i would really appreciate it.
