I have had so much pain these past few months but even more so these past 2 weeks. I saw an NHS physio who blatantly refused to see me as he said from my symptoms he wasn't prepared to treat me. I was desperate so I perhaps stupidly went to a private physio. He said my right hip area and waist looks swollen. Didn't do any xrays or anything. My symptoms are tightness in both thighs, deep throbbing legs and feet, tender in right buttock, seizing up after sitting, lying or standing too long, tingling in feet, arm aching, numbness in right hand, sides of neck spasms and tightness. He said my upper back and neck feels 'solid' due to the misalignment and pressure from whats happenin to the SI joint? He did some adjustments but the next day it was much much worse and today it even made me feel very sick.
In the end I had to go to a+e as my lower and mid back hurt so so much it made me throw up. They did an mri, and the junior dr said that by looking at the images himself, it was "fine". He was looking for major disc problems I think. He then sent me home. I am in agony. My lower back, right hip, thighs and mid back hurts like mad. Its horrible. He didn't wait for the radiographer's written report before he sent me home. I rang the mri department and asked if it was back yet and they said it was, and that I would need my GP to ring and request it. Rang the gp surgery, and its bloody CLOSED today! My question is, can you have so much back pain, WITHOUT anything showing on an mri?? And can a junior a+e dr see the same things as a radiographer on a spinal mri? Am worried why I feel so bad. I mean, I wake up some mornings, and cant even move without wincing in pain (sometimes screaming).
Im finding it so hard. I keep thinking I have cancer or something to be in this much pain.
Please help advise if you can
