I have twice in the past attended A&E (ER) when I couldn't take anymore and they have given me diamorphine, which helps. I don't like going to A&E because I know they are already very over worked and I feel like I am wasting their time. Also when I feel that bad I just want to curl up at home.

Can you get diamorphine on prescription for when im in stupid amounts of pain?

I was down to have a spinal cord simulator trial in August but I backed out as I have concerns and it honestly scares me!
