Good assessment and felt that my thoughts to the symptoms were consistent.
Valuable advice and exercises given to improve my symptoms.
Thank you.
I have had continual trapped nerve and back pain for over four years. What could be improve is help with the trapped nerve pain which doctors etc seem to push to one side. They do not appear to have an answer or discussion. Even though they know where the trapped nerve is. I had an MRI. The exercises have made me more flexible but the nerve pain is still there.
Unfortunately chronic pain (nerve pain) is not something that can be fixed or resolved. Having an MRI rules out need for surgery or RED flags. This patient would benefit from the Pain team. We do not have a name to discuss this with them. Physiotherapists are brilliant educators and explain this type of thing to patients as we have the time in our 1 hour new patient appointments. Our focus is function and this is what the patient has said he is moving better but the pain is unchanged. Pain team would see them about managing chronic pain once they have had conservative treatment
Helped me to understand what was going on with my back.
Having the back class has helped me get into a routine and gave motivation to do my exercises.
The care was a well structured plan which included a few different activities along with some information about lower back pain and how that affects the mind and body. Written information given was very useful.
Clear instructions - patient member of staff listened to my joint problem issues.
Caring staff given time to get to know patients. Team work across disciplines to give total care. Earlier warning of possible discharge.
All staff friendly and helpful which is exactly what you need when you come into hospital, the food served was of an excellent standard again when you are unwell this is helps with positive motivation. Only downside that it took a long time to have an x-ray.
Excellent staff.
Seemed welcoming and treated with dignity and respect. Appreciated being able to talk about my questions.
Potentially could have improved with a little more space in open discourse.
Very informative, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Also very friendly.
