Hi all,
Just been to doctors with pain head,neck & between shoulders. I've had MRI and result was multi-level spondylosis of cervical
spine.
He just said 'well most people your age have it' and wasn't interested in how bad pain was.
I thought afterwards I should have said 'Sorry i didn't realise everyone my age is walking about in agony'
Been shopping today (supermarket 16 miles away and driving hurts) and can hardly move my head and keep taking pain killers.
Is the Doctor right and I'm just being soft?
This was the same doctor who just came out with 'you're going to need another hip' on the side I've already had a re-surface.
Not much bedside manner there :!: :!: :!:
