Worried it will be another 'chat' appointment with no result or resolve to reduce my pain
You name the modality I've either tried it or incorporated it into my existing pain relief program
Advice?
Hope you are all feeling low levels of pain

CactusFoot says what I think too. I can be annoying and hard to do sometimes but keep a pain diary! Detail exactly what you're going through. And TELL him look I am in severe pain. Detail loss of sleep, or changes in mobility/abilities. Unfortunately it is extremely hard to convey to someone how much pain you are in unless you are bluntly honest!
