I went 3 times in hospital in 3 days as emergency with unbearable pain on my upper back making me vomit, cry and without need for any water or food . The first time they told me you have the illness A and gave me meds without any relief .The next day I went again in worst pain they told me I had the illness B and changed my meds . After a night awake in agony and terrible pain I returned in hospital by ambulance crying , screaming and vomiting because of the pain .They told me it s not illness B but illness C and they could not do anything for me as is a chronic pain although first time I had such bad pain.Only they referred me to go to GP and for physiotherapy . The GP had not any available appointment.They left me to go home although I could not stand up or walk or sit , keeping vomit because of the pain. My family was in shock as never see me like that and they sent me in a private hospital although we are not wealthy. I had a proper check from the specialist explaining to me what is going on.I had an MRI and he prescribed a combination of medicines which really helped me .I am really disappointed from the hospital , I cannot accept that someone goes there because of suffering from unbearable pain and doctors say we can t do anything about and go home. How can someone cope with such bad pain, my thought was to take all medicines together to end my life because I could deal with this anymore. Why in private hospital they found solution and i got help ?
