Hello everyone, I’ve got OA & PsA, & I’ve been referred by my GP to a pain clinic, has anybody have any experience of going to pain clinics?

    No I haven't , but it sounds like it's worth trying. I look forward to hearing how it goes.

    Hello @Robby4070,

    I haven't had experience with a pain clinic and while you are waiting to hear from someone who has, here is a link to a conversation between members that could potentially be useful to you.

    If you feel like you want to know more then there will be more posts surrounding this topic, just input 'pain clinic' into the search bar and have a look :))

    Let us or the helpline know if you have any more questions.

    I went to one (once weekly for six weeks) many years ago and what I learned has been continuously useful over the past 30 years. If you have this opportunity do take it up.

    Go with an open mind as there may be things you are unsure about. Among them will be something that could make a difference for you so give everything your full attention.
