OK just a quick update.
The pain in my neck was so bad I woke up in tears last night/early this morning. I called the doctor to see if I needed to go in or go straight to the hospital as I want an X-ray done, the receptionist said I should go to the hospital walk in centre - as by the time I woke up surgery was already closed for the morning- and get them to see me there.
I got dressed went all the way to the hospital and waited an hour in excruciating pain only to be told they would not, could not give me an X-ray without a form from my doctor I (threatened) said was going to go to A&E, didn't work, was told flatly that they wouldn't see me either. Pissed? yep.
I call the surgery and get to go in and get the form, the doctor asks why I feel the need to have the x-ray so soon and I tell him about last night and how the pain is getting worse.... Long story short, he thinks I have a condition called Cervical Spondylosis and is sending me for an MRI scan as well as an X-ray.
I now have extra strength pain killers 'Codeine Phosphate' and instructed to not handle machinery.... they are going to make me drowsy on top of the Diclofenac making me tired I may just be short of being comatose by next week.
Will keep you posted... if I can stay awake long enough.
