I have an ongoing neck pain issue. I am looking for this to be investigated. I am not looking for more medication.
Unfortunately during my latest GP appointment, another GP has absolutely no idea what Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is. I have been given more medication for 'nerve pain' and an x-ray booking. Connective tissue problems won't show up on an x-ray. So, yet again I'm left in disabling pain. Why do GPs in Scotland have no idea what this condition is? Why do we have no specialists? I am in so much pain I can barely function. I have also previously complained about similar and have had no further information.
Unfortunately my pain isn't just one part of my body so the GP also didn't have anyone to refer me to. There is absolutely no help for people like myself. I cannot work and can't cope with the pain.
